This is very concerning to me. If they can't follow policy how can they hold others accountable? Where were the folks who wrote the checks for these bills and why was this not being discussed in BCC meetings? Where was the lawyer in this one?

The five of them STOLE from you, me and everyone who pays taxes. They should all resign in disgrace.
And even if you think not, the responses alone in the article above enrage me. It's a "how dare you accuse me" reaction that is disgusting.

If you know them, you know at least some of those things didn't happen. For one, Danny doesn't drink.
I hear that the employee tasked with making travel arrangements for the BCC resigned sometime during the past two weeks.
And if you have to wonder who the anonymous complaint was from...wow.

Last week, Danny was on Facebook, calmly saying that he will explain everything to everyone's satisfaction. Yesterday, on the 6 o'clock news channel 13, he was this fuming bully, yelling "how dare you!" I guess he decided not to "explain everything".

Yes please.. tell us which things didn’t happen… Claiming Danny doesn’t drink doesn’t prove he didn’t make an alcohol purchase…maybe he purchased it for his family friends or a party! All five “clowns” need to resign or be fired They’ve done a despicable job allowing all the negative development harming Walton County while spending our tax dollars on lavish travel, hotel rooms etc. Common sense should tell any elected official it’s wrong. This behavior is the tip of the iceberg.

I guess I'm a hypocrite because if they halted most development and stopped advertising for tourists I'd let them use my tax dollars for scotch.

Agree! Because I'd be spending more time relaxing on the beach, riding a bike on the path, eating out at local restaurants, driving down 30A, and enjoying the quietness of the state parks instead of worrying about the spending habits of county commissioners.

Dream on guys! These five were given our votes to represent the best interests of us residents and taxpayers to keep development and tourism dollars in check. And we paid for the Scotch anyway!! Our tax dollars!

Did you attend the meeting or watch it online? If you did, you'd know.
I do not have the time to make a running list, but for starters...two commissioners were tasked with improper county vehicle fuel procedures and those two do not even use a county vehicle. They confused Tony Anderson with a Public Works employee by the same name. And the only time alcohol was placed on a pcard, it was two bottles of beer at a meeting and it was paid back as soon as the commissioner found out that part of a meal was disallowed. There is much more. Most of it could have been cleared up if the auditors had taken the time to discuss their findings with the board, or at least conducted an exit interview. Alas, that wasnt done.
I'm sure there have been accidental mistakes, and those will be found and corrected. I'm equally sure there is no intentional impropiety. Not because they are elected officials, but because we know four of them very, very well.

Doesn't match up with the receipts. There are serious, documented incidences of fraud, if not theft. I don't think you want to be on the wrong side of the law with your friends.

Did they ask Dede? Did they give Dede an exit interview?

They're all hypocrites, but Danny takes the cake as a Pastor.
