What makes Guy Glodis believe he is not subject to the same rules which apply to everyone else?

And, more troubling, why, when caught red-handed in wrong-doing, does Guy Glodis refuse to take responsibility for his actions?

Today we add federal tax evasion to the growing list of apparent violations of the law involving Sheriff Guy Glodis.

OCPF and the State Auditor have already determined that he has accepted illegal campaign contributions, put campaign donations into his own pocket, used his office to pay for political mailings, awarded public contracts without competitive bids, and provided illegal excessive benefits to his public employees, to name but a few of his transgressions. And, he has already paid thousands of dollars in fines to OCPF.

He has offered flimsy and inconsistent explanations and told outright lies about his failure to disclose that the real source of a $20,000 loan was a friend who was made a deputy sheriff four months later and is now in jail for investment fraud and about how receipt of that money was followed within days by deposits of $22,000 into his campaign account.

Now he says the law followed by all other candidates regarding federal taxes due on interest earned by his campaign war chest does not apply to him. He refuses to acknowledge and abide by, as all other candidates have, the plain language of the law, saying other unnamed people told him he could ignore it.

By now, the voters must be asking: What is wrong with this guy? And, how can we elect Guy Glodis, with this record of flagrant disregard for laws relative to political, public, and personal finance, to a position of public trust, especially that of State Auditor? I know that I am.
