David Kramer Is running for County Commissioner, Dist. 4

Why would you say something like that and then not back it up. Unless you know from experience. :scratch:hmmm

I suffer from a lot of things but at 6'3" and 240#'s, little man syndrome is not one of them.

If Kramer is all about Kramer then more people should be like him. The guy gives endless hours to bettering the community and does it while working within the current rules, and when he sees a rule he does not like, instead of going onto a message board and complaining about it, he works to change it. Putting his money where his mouth is, something you rarely see.

Apparently, if you put your money where your mouth is it would be in Kramer's wallet, or very near his wallet. If he keeps it in his back pocket that, is. Oh well, you get my drift i'm sure.

Kramer is all about Kramer. Going to meetings with your own agenda in a small town is so transparent. Do you really think small town boys go to small town meetings because they are so enthralled by the machine? Or because they want the machine to dispense them a candy bar?

Kramer shows up at meetings only when he has a dog in the hunt. He used to come more frequently, because he had more dogs in the hunt, but it's been a while since I've seen him attend a county meeting. I have heard some reasonable suggestions out of his mouth in public meetings.

I'll refrain from bashing him as a political candidate at the moment, but I will NOT be voting for D Kramer.

Candidates are fair game. Spill it.

:funn:

What does that mean? It seems you made a comment about someone else and the only comeback is your 6'3" and weigh 240 pounds. You own a BIG TRUCK too? Sounds as though you are compensating?

I note that the Walton Sun says that David Kramer is running for Sarah Comander's county commission seat.
I know very little about this candidate other than he owns tons of land and is a realitor.
What are his qualifications and backround that makes him a good candidate for the commission?

Hi Andy, He knows his stuff.

I know when the Sun ran that story and Kramer's pic from the commission meeting was in the paper, he came unglued. That he spent X amount of dollars advertising with us every week should have kept reporters and his 'issue' out of the paper. I'm pretty sure he pulled all his ads. :roll:

Does this mean he isn't running? If so, this thread is moot but if it isn't we will continue on until the election. Why be so close mouthed about it if it has already been announced or leaked? Come on, Mr. Kramer, what are your intentions?

Someone who directly benefits from or has direct business with individuals/businesses he is voting on is a cause for concern IMO.

For example, should he recuse himself if his company sold the person/company property?

Or if he has an LLC with one of the people bringing an item before the BCC? :roll:

i don't know kramer so i wouldn't pass judgment on him personally but i would not be thrilled with someone who is a developer being on the commission. i would think there would be a lot of issues that would create a conflict, thereby requiring the person to recuse himself/herself. it's always good to have knowledgeable people working for your county. however, if someone is truly still active in an area such as development, would prefer that person not be a commissioner.

as an aside, i am not a big fan of developers. the ones i've known of are always taking huge risks, frequently end up bankrupt or in trouble because they have misappropriated funds. i'm sure there are good ones just like in any profession.

So basically he changed parties to avoid a primary or run off election.

Wroberts spin:

He's saving the county tax payers by not requiring a primary or run off election.

Now I'm confused. Is he running? and what party is he, not sure if that really matters, though? Mostly just confused about whether or not he is running.

I like David Kramer. He is into bettering South Walton, and, in doing so, building his business. What's so bad about that?This story about cow dipping vat sounds vague at best...

My concerns with this...is your statement, "building his business"...he is attempting a run for a seat, not to better South Walton...he wants to build his business...you should have listened to him at the last County Commissioner's Meeting with the County's Comprehensive Plan...if it didn't suit David's investments or his "clients" then it was Bad .....his words not mine.
