No, this is the lady who screwed the Walton County taxpayers out of $150K by making a ridiculous and time-consuming public records request and then suing when it didn't happen.

Sorry I have never posted under Interested Girl, I know all of you think that is me because that is what Sara Commander said in a recorded closed session meeting of the BCC . Sorry she is wrong, unlike others I have always used my name. I do know who Interested Girl is and you would all be SHOCKED !!!!!! Just remember the county could have given me the documents and charged me to get them. Instead they chose not to give them to me and ended up paying a lot. What do you think was in them they didn't want me to have? Also 156,000 was just a small amount , they had to pay all of their attorneys, and they have to pay to get their records inco compliance. Oh well its just you money and I know you will all be happy when they raise your tax milage this year to cover all of their expenses like my lawsuit.

Sorry, maybe this is not IG. IG would not have so many spelling errors. Plus IG would be extremely upset her taxes were going up, and this lady based on her comments will not be paying an increase in taxes.

Maybe ya'll are sisters because both of you like to drop vague hints of wrongdoing about anyone in county government in general and anyone who doen't like volleyball in particular. Although in this case you may have something. $500 meals paid with taxpayer money is hard to justify.:idontno:

At least he's a decent tipper. I notice that TDC Board Member and Teabagger Mary Brown wasn't interviewed? For someone so concerned with over taxation and government waste you'd think she would have been the rallying cry behind this?

Ms. Brown is no longer a TDC board member.

It seems very few if any of the TDC Board members had any insight into the financial affairs at the TDC.

Mr. Gilbert claims he was unaware and he is the Chair. He also signed and approved the Credit card bills.

Guess this is another example of people signing anything placed before them without reading what they were signing.

To convince them to come here for vacations. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that this method is backwards.

Those darn constitutions really give you trouble. There is no such things as a ridiculous and time consuming public records request in the State of Florida. The county could have easily given her a cost estimate for compliance. Instead they chose the path of non-compliance. A violation of the Constitution of the State of Florida and of Florida Statute. It is ashamed that we had to pay the price for the decisions of our leaders, but I believe the onese advising our leaders on that decision have been dismissed.

To talk them into coming here. Good luck. The reputation of Florida in England and I quote "It's a hot, dangerous, expensive dump with strange people." Terrance Griffiths, friend and barrister
I took exception to the dump part of his statement. I think Mr. Mares was overly impressed by his expense account and the British accents. And heaven forbid he take the Tube (cost $7.00) or train (cost$12.00) from Heathrow to London, instead of private carriage ($75.00-125.00) ONE WAY. And yeah I guess you can be a generous tipper, when it's other people's money. I must admit the Surf and Turf at Seagar's is really great, but you do yourself a disservice if you don't have the caviar as an appetizer.

Tell a German you're from Florida and they'll ask how far you live from Monticello and if it's still so dangerous.

From what my colleagues in Central Florida tell me, many British folks don't seem to have any problem flying in and out of MCO, buying entire subdivisions, and renting them from overseas, unlicensed for anything, and untouchable save for a lien...I'd prefer they not come here and do that, but just pointing out that Florida must not be TOO distasteful for the investment many have made.

Does anyone know what bank(s) control and funnel TDC and WalCo money before the bills are paid? Officers? Board Members? Who prints the checks?
