I will not vote for Tony Anderson because of this

Oh I see you believe and are one of the people spreading lies about Tony Anderson. Just curious are you even going to vote in the primary?

Why should he show up to an ambush? You people were holding phony tony signs which btw is not allowed. I think Tony will do just fine come election time. And he did not have to slander anyone to do it.

Oh Misty I guess you are one of those people who believe anything you hear and never fact check the source. You are so so wrong about Tony and all you do is spread rumours and lies. What do you do Misty? I mean you think delivering mail is beneath you. So what do you do that makes you think you are so much better than him? I can guess by as much time as you spend on here that you don't do much of anything except complain complain complain. See you at the polls MISTY

Got a facebook video ad sent to me today from the phony anderson campaign. There was a video of Tony putting out his signs in the scenic corridor. Not his supporters, but him breaking the rules. I don't want to hear how holier than thou he is.

Oh really what about all of the cindy supporters putting out phony tony signs?? That is against the rules. And patriot games word on the street is you had some very unethical/illegal stuff going on right under your nose. I don't think you should be judging anyone. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Have you ever had a conversation with Tony Anderson?? I am guessing no from your outrageous assumptions. I do not mind you having a different opinion than mine, but at least read some of his policy, call him on the phone and ask him some questions. Do something before you trash a mans reputation. You call Tony a puppet? You are the puppet. You don't know him and don't try to know him. You listen to people you like and regurgitate the same bs that comes from their mouth. Misty here is your chance. Don't mimic your friends and be their puppet. Go find out for yourself. LEARNING is fun

I have met with Mr Anderson and we have discussed issues relating to my special interest. My personal opinion has not been changed by all this, he seems to be an honorable individual. I have also seen what Commissioner Meadows has done over that last 4 years and the time she was in office before. I have no issues with her either. Seems like everyone who decides to run for office will always find detractors and those who are willing to throw out the negatives. For those who are on Mr Andersons side of the fence rather than throwing the BS on Commissioner Meadows, tell me why I should vote for Mr Anderson. Folks who are Commissioner Meadows bandwagon tell me why I should vote for Commissioner Meadows and quit throwing the BS on Mr Anderson. My suggestion is to show respect and give me reasons to vote for one candidate and not why I should vote against another, I will make that decision for myself.

An honorable individual? Ok Bob, you tell me...what's honorable about a man cavorting all over town with another mans wife, who just happens to be a current sitting Commissioner? What's honorable about completely ignoring a very simple request by the City of Defuniak NOT to bring your semi truck sized political sign to a forum and park it on City property which you were specifically asked NOT to do? What's honorable about not showing up to OPEN forums in the District your are asking folks to elect you in, where the questions and answers were not prepared for you in advance? If you have such astounding honorable leadership skills what defining moment in your career as a mailman for 30 years leads you to believe that you are either capable of or qualified to run a County government with an $8 million dollar plus budget? I don't think anyone has even bothered to ask Anderson what his education level is beyond high school but all that's required of you to be a postal worker is a high school diploma, be 18 years of age and if male, registered with Selective Service, pass a drug test, a criminal records check and have a valid drivers license. Hell, I know meth and crack heads educated in Walton County that could meet those requirements if, they stayed sober for a week. Have we really lowered the bar that far that all we expect of our elected government officials is that they meet the most basic rudimentary requirements of a mail carrier? Aside from coaching kids baseball and attending church what charitable contributions has Anderson made in our community? What volunteer work has he been involved in that helped create jobs, or helped families in crisis or helped senior citizens and the working poor? According to "earl" (an Anderson supporter) they get rid of "begging" strays who need a helping hand up and to me that sounds like Hitler Rule and not something I personally want any part of. When was the first or last time Anderson stood in a soup kitchen and helped feed the poor or in a food bank where food and day old bread or almost expired canned goods are distributed to people in our community that work but can't make ends meet from month to month? How many random acts of kindness has he personally paid forward?

You are hard pressed to convince me that you have done anything admirable or honorable to gain my vote when the only thing I've seen you do is belly up to the money in SoWal to get yourself elected. And I'll even give the devil their dues, the current BCC including the much hated C. Jones, have a hell of a lot more education and done allot more in their re-cycled careers in County government than Anderson did in a lifetime as a mail carrier.

P.S. @graytonbeachguy, I'm glad you think it's funny. It's A$$es like you that fuel my passion for better government.

There is a rumor going around FB that Tony said in last night's forum that he wants an east/west road through the state forest and open it for development. Did anybody attend the forum and hear him say this?

Audio quality is very poor on those forums that can be viewed live online and I couldn't hear 99% of what was being said.

Several candidates including Mr. Anderson advocated an east/west road through the state forest.

Mr. Chapman and Mr. Imfeld did not express an opinion. I believe the others were Mr. Kramer and Mr. Fletcher.

It disappoints me to hear that Fletcher would support destruction of State Forrest.

The questioning was concerning options to fix the traffic problems. It is an option, as is mass transit systems and off-site parking. Mr. Chapman did state that widening 30-A is not an option and he is correct. The ROW costs would be astronomical.

I don't consider destruction of state land an option..at all.

Understood.
Your proposal to alleviate traffic problems?

If I had one...I'd be running for public office. This is why I vote. I will say though that had the needed infrastructure been in place prior to all the development happening in SoWal we wouldn't be where we are right now. It wasn't important enough back then to be made a priority so I fail to see how destroying protected state land is going to make it all better now.

If we keep chipping away at state lands for more development what's left for those who come after us?

From Tony's FB page:
Once again, supporters of my opponent are distorting my position and twisting my words. At last night’s candidate forum, I referenced the need to look at a variety of options for improving infrastructure and reducing traffic congestion in South Walton. We need to review all of our infrastructure needs and options. I also said that I do not believe we should automatically be looking to state forest lands for a solution to expand our roadways. I am on record as strongly opposing development in our state forest lands and always will be. - Tony

I'm with you on preserving the forests. And with you on the lack of infrastructure.
Poor leadership with any forward vision, and poor planning will land SoWalton in nearly the same boat as Destin. If not for the forests...we'd be over-run with development.
So we are in agreement. Thank God for someone with some vision. I believe it was partly Governor Graham?

I couldn't hear anything anyone said even with the speakers on blast but I see no reason to doubt Danny's version of what was said or who said it.

You are not getting another happy dance outta me!

I agree.

Here is the skinny. The winner on the district 5 race is going to be Tony or Cindy. They both have there own group pulling for them. The group supporting Tony is helping this county. They have the best interest for this county. If people are watching this page and are undecided on who to vote for then look at the donors and they come from both ends of the county. The SBA represents the majority of what this county wants and needs. Cindy represents a small group with special agendas. Cindy should have been working on 2 more roads cut back to 30a from 98 in Seagrove by now. What's the hold up? The good people of this county are not going to allow a small group run it for their best interest and not the county has a whole.

Would you please tell me what special interest I, and many other Walton County citizens, represent as a retired individual with onty better local government as our issue. I, and many others, are only interested in good local government. Cindy Meadows does the ultimate to supply that.

Well, this is interesting! A lead supporter of Cindy's calling her out for not telling the truth. I have to hand it to Ole Dave, I didn't think he had it in him. Good job on doing the right thing!

"Not necessarily wanting to" cut through and absolutely NOT destroying state forest land are 2 entirely different scenarios and sounds like a pretty iffy position to me. The fact it is even "considered" an option is mind boggling.

The fact is she lied and Dave was spoon fed what she wanted to portray. At least he had the balls to admit when he was duped....you, not so much!
