If you get elected to County Commission, what power does that give your spouse?

It is OK to give names and details.

Already had to see the Sheriff once about this.

I bet most spouses have some say so in their spouses business, so is this something more unusual which you mention?

First time I have ever have seen this much involvement.

Send them an email and ask. They operate as a group, not as a single individual. I have not asked.

It would be helpful to have specifics. And what does the Sheriff have to do with a commisioner's spouse?

Yeah, I thought I kept up with BCC happenings pretty well but I guess not. What are you talking about? I do know that one editor of the Beach Breeze whom I considered the best editorial writer in the Panhandle recently lost his job with no warning. Whether it had anything to do with his spouse being a Commissionser, I don't know and I won't speculate. I just know the Beach Breeze publisher did a stupid thing, IMO. I am cancelling my subscription though I am sure it will not be missed.

I know what you mean, the only reason I bought that paper was to read the commentary. He was always on target for the conservative point of view. The tone after his departure is definitely more to the left.

Robert is free to express his viewpoint whenever he chooses as long as he does not invoke the name of the WCTA.

He posts as an individual not as a member of the WCTA.

The WCTA posts as an organization with its official viewpoint on issues when the board has taken a position or agreed on a study or poll.

I believe that you are the Statecommitteeman for the Walton Democratic Executive Committee.

Should we interpret all of your posts and positions to be the official position of the Walton Democratic Executive Committee?

Our organization has existed for 28 years with one single name:
The Walton County Taxpayers Association, Inc.

We are incorporated in the State of Florida as a non-partisan 5.01(c)4 organization.

I know Mr Hudson is a man of the integrity, as is Robert and don't mean to imply that posts by the above should constitute a position statement. However, I do wonder if it is a conflict of interest to have a watchdog group put pressure on incumbents when said watchdogs have demonstrated a propensity to run for office.

I was impressed with Mr Hudson's ethics as displayed at the last Mosquito Board meeting;can we be assured that watchdogs are not lobbing allegations, under the cover of a non-partisan 5.01(c)4 organization, at incumbents in order to 'soften them up', so to speak, for the next election cycle?

NOTE TO READERS: THESE ARE MY PERSONAL VIEWS AND ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE VIEWS OF THE WCTA - Bob Hudson

I can make that assurance for you on my behalf.

Yes I ran for office, but I lost and have stated more than once that I would not run for County Commissioner again.

I do believe that individuals have a right to run for office (watchdog or not) and be judged by the electorate and either elected or defeated in that election.

THE WCTA as an entity has never endorsed a candidate !

I appreciate your pledge and wish others would take it!

Still not sure what this thread has to do with? Wrobert, would you like to explain it?

Well I can say that at this time I have no intentions to run for another political office. Been there, done that, still got the tshirt.

Still not sure what this is about:idontno:

I don't who ran for what office, who is running in the future or who has what t-shirt, but I am curious as to what the original post was refering to.:idontno:

A friend of Ron Kelley's told me he was fired because the paper was cutting back. They didn't even give him any notice or severence. I thought he did a good job and was fair and did not take sides. I have cancelled my subscription as well. I know it is a small jesture but makes me feel better.
You never see the wives of the other commissioners, not sure they even work.
