As a taxpayer and voter in Walton County I believe I have the right to be involved in politics and my employees lives when it comes to their wellbeing, health and pay. If I choose to support or not to support an isue/ candidate is my business and mine alone. Anytime you feel the need to give up your rights/ belief you do so, that is your business. Although I am a firefighter I am also a Union member and will expressed my pro union opinion as I see fit, that does not mean we will agree and thats alright too. If I encourage them to vote yes then so be it, but in most of my post I have stated they should vote up or down based on what they collectively decide not me, you or now Mike. It is their decision, which I will support either way. I attempted to see things from a different perspective than you, but I came to realize that waiting to negotiate a contract would help to alleviate the hard feelings, but what I have noticed is that rather than see a compromise, you feel you need the whole enchillada. My only concern has been the Deputies, yours, in my opinion, is your own self interest. I have gained or lost nothing by supporting these Men and Women, and am proud of it.
Good Evening
