Successful politician ?

Chuckster, you have to consider what he considers a successful politician to be. Ben served one three-year term in Pennsylvania. Yes, a successful orator maybe. But then again, he believes Tupac to be an artist too.

-PH
Note the quote at the end of the email. (A quote made by a "successful" politician.)

"Well Done is better than well said".....Benjamin Franklin

This quote does not seem appropriate.....

A more applicable quote might be:

"Better well said, when NOT well done". Or, "NO man can tame the tongue".... at 3:00 a.m.!!"

Again, I must commend Suzie for her intestional fortitude, vim and vigor!!!

"She spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of her own money fighting county hall and won."


I would be willing to bet that with a little digging one might find that possibly she used the money of the property she represents and not her own money at all......

She still spent a great deal of private money to clean up our county. Not a fan, but have to give her props for having the balls to do this.

Brannon and some other Walton elected officials really illustrate the real power in Walton county. A corrupt little Republican mutual admiration society with no regard to the good of the public. And it isn't just the county commission that operates outside the bounds of decency and ethical behavior. I think we need to clean house. Too bad independents and Democrats have no chance of winning elections.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. You want to gripe and complain, run for office. To me, people like you who offer no solid proof or solutions to the problems are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Brannon has certainly stepped in it and probably made the best move by resigning.

But....have you ever met Suzanne Harris? Brannon's shots aren't far from the mark.

I've met Suzanne, and Scott's remarks are self-serving but inaccurate. I might ask if you know the lady. She was working her butt off this afternoon (at the same time you were posting this) on stacks and stacks of emails from public records requests. She even had some of her little foot-soldiers helping her. A typical day for her and her friends in the quest for good government.

Scott couldn't be further from the mark. Suzanne wants the same thing as most good citizens, i.e., good, honest, effective, transparent government by honorable people acting in an intelligent and honest fashion. The difference between her and most is that when she sees our public officials failing her (and our) most basic tests and trust, she acts! And she works her ass off in taking action on your behalf and mine.

Talk is easy and cheap. Saddle up and put in the time with Suzanne and her little foot-soldiers, and you'll appreciate a wee bit more just how much she and others like her are doing for you.

When all the dust settles, perhaps you'll understand better just how courageous and honest this lady is. While Scott is free to attack her with his self-serving statements of dubious veracity, she is forbidden to refute his attacks with factual information in her possession. I know she has it. I've seen it. Come to the courthouse 4/30 for an educational day.

I hope you have what it takes to publicly apologize for your imputations here today once all the facts are public, provided of course there is no judicial seal on the proceedings. Suzanne is on the side of the angels, your statement notwithstanding. You speak from a perspective of factual deprivation.

And lest I forget again, GraytonGuy, Scott did not resign, unfortunate as that may be. He announced he was not running for re-election. Would that you were right in that regard. When the time comes that many of his emails are public, you'll understand better. Not a pretty picture. The worst have not been released for public consumption. Feel free to do your own public records request and sort through the thousands of emails and you'll understand, too. A really ugly picture! With time and effort, any citizen can be as informed.

I just don't get the continuous witch hunt. Granted, some of our public officials abuse their positions. If Ms. Harris really wants to make a change she should run for a county seat.
