How dare you accuse the Comander of this!!! :lie:

Just so happens that C. Jones was also able to temporarily avoid hers due to the schedule getting thrown off due to the illness.

Have to wait till later this month for the re-do.

peterpan, I am with you, man. I done TOLD all of yall I saw her in a wet suit with a surf board and a bottle of wine at the beach the very weekend after she went to the hospital for her supposed illness. But noooo, nobody believed me, everybody laughed. Do you believe me now?!

I'm not crazy about Walton County Politics to begin with but "Peterpans comments of "I heard the suit" constitutes "Hearsay" and thats all. And while most of the more vocal members of the forum are probably thinking this but not saying it here, I'll make the jump and my opinion is that two forum members with a combined 8 weeks as forum members and a combined 19 posts mostly about politics have not met my threshold of credibility . Sorry if I offended anyone who posted but I smell trolling ...

It really is a very long sorted affair if it involves driftwood estates. There may be some older threads that explain it all. Been going on for years.

Osbourne lives in Driftwood Estates just north of Sandestin. Original development plan called for a) road access from Driftwood through Sandestin and b) certain amount of land set aside to deal with stormwater/drainage concerns because it's low land that doesn't drain quickly. Walton County allowed Sandestin to close off road access through Sandestin and also allowed builders to put houses on land that was supposed to be set aside for drainage, causing some flooding problems. 

Osbourne spent a lot of time and his own money suing Walton County for allowing development that was not consistent with the original filed plan for Driftwood Estates and the Sandestin DRI, claiming the county actions interfered with his property values and right to quiet enjoyment of his land and home. 

Here's one recent article that talks a little bit about the Driftwood-Sandestin issue:

You leave out the FACT that in an Email, the Commissioner being sued attempted to prevent this guy from knowing about and attending a public meeting which involved this issue.

That's criminal.

Thanks for confirming the relationship between the two attorney's and the Sheriff.

Beachmouse. I want to shake your hand and buy u a beer.

For literally years I read and read and read threads about Driftwood Estates. I begged and pleaded that someone dumb it down for me. Each time key players responded with well intended, passionate but I'm afraid- convoluted/confusing attempts at summarizing. I would be quiet for a while and then ask again. Repeat cycle.

I just popped this thread open and read your post. Praise baby jezuz.

Thank u for the clear concise summary. Boggles the mind why it took so long. :)

Clay the son of Clayton is best friends with Brannon and Brannon has an office in the fancy new digs across from the Courthouse which bears the Adkinson name. The Sheriff came here at his Uncle's bidding (his Uncle is the City Attorney) originally as the City Marshall for Defuniak Springs (no such thing as nepotism in Walton County politics LOL) then ran for and got himself elected with the help of his Uncle and most of the names you see posted in the document above.

In fairness, I do think Michael Adkinson has done a fine job with the Sheriff's Office with the exception of some well documented favors (the drunk driver who plunged 60 foot into the bay comes to mind) and more than a few shady dealings which his notorious Uncle has been a principal too for more than a decade in this County.

 Michael is much more personable than Clayton or his son as well!

So is Clay "Atkinson" a typo? Because our sheriff's last name is spelled "Adkinson" with a "D," while in that court document, Clay's like name is being spelled "Atkinson."

I heard the suit is for violating Alan Osborn's civil rights.  Her deposition was to be held on Monday but on Thursday she was admitted to the hospital. I understand the deposition was to be open to the public and video recorded. If she loses this will all of Walton County pay her legal fees which would mean we the tax payers pay. 

I can not understand how this has been kept out of the press if it is indeed true. Alan can you answer this. What is the new deposition date? Also heard there are detectives watching her and who comes and goes to her house. Can you post the lawsuit .

If she is being sued and loses does she have to step down, and does she lose her pension? I think this would be a federal crime ,am I wrong?

I guess the main question is if the above is true, did she get sick on Thursday just to avoid her deposition on Monday.  Sounds very fishy all of this has been kept quite.
