Given Mr. Hilton's history, if I were running for office I would not accept his money. Particularly not if my campaign were this well financed, and I was receiving $500 contributions from students and bookkeepers.
Too funny!

Charlie Hilton is a red flag for me, because he has a history of using political contributions to gain influence. His hold on the property appraisers office in Bay County is the most stark example.
Is there something he wants from the Sheriff? Who knows. The Sheriff sets a lot of policy regarding private beach issues, someone who has a self insured trust has a lot of financial exposure, the Sheriff will have a huge role in the foreclosure backlog. A Sheriff has a great deal of influence.
My point is this -- we hear about contributions being returned or refused in national politics all the time. Given Mr. Hilton's history, if I were running for office I would not accept his money. Particularly not if my campaign were this well financed, and I was receiving $500 contributions from students and bookkeepers.
So as long as the Sheriff is receiving bids on vehicles purchased, and the vehicles are needed, what would be the big deal?
Does anyone here think that Alys Beach will be treated differently by the Sheriff's Dept by their developer, Jason Comer, contributing the maximum amount to Adkinson's campaign? Again, we are talking about the Sheriff, not a County Commissioner.
SJ, I take back that statement, it has come to my attention the negotiation is done by the state and there's very little money in getting the contract.
Do you suppose the Edgewater HOA is looking for more security patrols from the sheriff?
Interesting.
Since they gave $500 to both Mr. Adkinson and ralph, it makes one wonder if their platforms are simular or exactly what is going on doesn't it?:rofl::funn:
$500.00 for a stupid volley ball net? Seems like a waste of HOA dues to me.
