Ronnie Faulk

Hello. I am Ronnie Faulk and I would like to tell you just a little bit about myself.
I was born and raised just outside Houston TX, where I graduated High School and also received my associates degree.
I served honorably and proudly in the Armed Services during the Persian Gulf Conflict from 1989 through 1991, completing three tours of duty in the Middle East: Operation Earnest Will, Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.
I have recently celebrated seven wonderful years of employment at
Sacred Heart Hospital.
Santa Rosa Beach has been my home for eighteen years, sharing the last ten blessed years with my wonderful wife, Kriss. We are active members of Destiny Worship Center where I serve as athletic director, organizing sports for young adults as well as older adults here in our community.
I volunteer as a big brother to local youth, assisting them with their studies and taking them fishing or playing ball.
I have done volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity, and assisted citizens in Pass Christian MS, with covering of roofs and serving food along with other members of Santa Rosa Beach Community Church, after Hurricane Katrina.
"I believe that serving is more than just about ones-self".
My parents raised me to always respect others, to be honest and that a mans hand shake and his word should always be his bond. To always be willing and ready to accept accountability for ones actions.
My Pastors past and present have taught me to be honest, transparent and humble, not prideful and to treat others as I would like to be treated.
I believe in God, family and country and I would like to serve you and our community with honesty, integrity and transparency. I'll be glad to answer any questions that you may have.
May God Bless America!

Thank You,
Ronnie Faulk

I can't find anything on Jimmy Hendrix, and I believe Bob Hudson is a regular poster.

All three candidates seem like fine choices, however I would appreciate your write-in vote. Killed three skeeters yesterday evening with my bare hands, and remained relatively unscathed. You do not see that in the other candidates bios, just sayin'. :wave:😀

If doodlebug wins then you'll have to prove that's your legal name. If no one steps forward then it'll be an appointment and lord knows what we'll get.

Hudson's probably the best of the three, but I don't think any of them have particular knowledge of the purpose or mission of the mosquito control.

Maybe you weren't on here when she ran for Mosquito control. She has this antiquated method using things like diesel in wetlands and spraying DDT on anything that moves, we are much better off.

There is much more to the responsibilities of the Mosquito Board than one would think. SWGB, you have prompted me to do some research...the Mosquito Board meeting minutes are good reading, as is the rest of the info on the website http://www.southwaltonmosquitocontrol.com . I am anxiously awaiting the August and September minutes to be posted - there seems to be some drama that occurs during the meetings. Who knew??
And now for a helpful tip from your write in candidate for seat #3.......... did you know the SWCMCD also offers help for those pesky yellow flies? The district utilizes sticky black balls for the reduction of yellow flies and will provide one per homeowner upon request. If I am elected, I will strive to provide two sticky balls per household. Vote for Doodlebug!!!

You didn't understand my point. Who are you and can you legally prove that you are doodlebug. If not then you are wasting everyone's time.

Most of the drama stems from part-time employees receiving health benefits. 99% of all employers don't provide this, why should we as taxpayers provide it?

Distorted as usual. You've made up this statement.

Mr. Faulk gets my support. I too can't find much on this Jimmy Hendrix and this current board hasn't been great a cutting costs. New blood (no pun intended) will be nice.

Maybe you should look at your tax bill when it comes to the SWMCD. As for Mr. Hudson and the cutting of taxes, that is to funny. Even more amazing is the fact that they have responsibilities for the services they provide. Would you prefer they did not provide the service they do or what?

My issue isn't with the services they provide. It is with some of the decisions and intentions of the board. Within the past year they have wanted to increase their board from 3 to 5 members, and if it wasn't for the news article that brought attention to it it probably would have passed. There is also some concern about the benefits that they receive. I attached a link to a previous thread that deals with both of those issues. Even if he votes against something every time, 2-1 votes are still successful, so if he is unable to persuade a second vote in his favor than his efforts are ineffective, and I am willing to give someone else a try until we can vote out the other two next time.
