You were not my focus when I wrote that although I did read your comments.
Bob - were you in the Northern part of the County ? I understand that new sign is not in the South at this time.
I also find it interesting that you couldn't find any missing "Yes" signs. How did you know where they were.
If you're implying that some signs haven't gone MIA I can assure you that they have.
With all the "new posters" in the last few days I'm wondering who they are representing.
Please show me an example of something negative by the "WINGS" group or its associated members.
I find this one on Facebook rather interesting:
I just spoke with a friend who went to the Lincoln Dinner Monday night. At his table were THREE LAWYERS from Birmingham down here to promote vote YES! We do not need lawyers from Birmingham telling us how to vote on a local issue. There is some big money promoting this.And you have to ask WHY???I just spoke with a friend who went to the Lincoln Dinner Monday night.

Who were they ? Where is the big money ? I hate posters that hide behind their screen name. They are allowed to do that but I normally ignore.
And this response to the Site post.
Dewyne DouglassThey want, NO ONE on the YES side say WHY are give any REASON because they DO NOT HAVE A REASON that makes common cents

NW Florida Daily News Letter to the Editor
A NEW PROCESS
I strongly support the School Board referendum to change the process of selecting Walton County’s superintendent of schools, and I will be voting yes on Aug. 26. In 99 percent of school districts across America, the superintendent of schools is a professional position. Elected school boards hire superintendents after community hearings, held in the sunshine, and after exhaustive evaluations of the applicants’ qualifications and track records of success.
This process is not perfect, but it actually gives the community more of an opportunity to ask meaningful questions of applicants — and get answers — without the caution and maneuvering of a political campaign clouding and oversimplifying an important discussion about the future of our schools and students. As our current superintendent completes her term, I believe that this process is the best way for Walton County to continue the success in our schools. Other teachers agree, which is why the Walton County Education Association, which represents our teachers, has officially endorsed this referendum.
With a school district responsible for educating more than 8,000 of our children, we need to apply the same standards and the same reasoning to the selection of superintendent of schools as teachers do in their classrooms and as employers do in their workplaces.
I encourage you to vote yes on the School Board referendum on Aug. 26. — TRACY NICK Freeport

Fair enough. I was not in the north end I was in the south end. I was particularly looking for signs that were tossed along highway 98 as if someone pulled them. I surely hope you were not implying that I was appropriating signs. As for what I perceived to be negative I look up and down this board and see comments. Unlike some my mind has not wavered how I will vote but thought I should share what I see from this board. Honestly the letter from Mr Mcquinston after rereading I can see how it be interpreted as negative. But hey I just speak my opinion based on how I interpret what is said. Either way the voters get to decide. As for me I will vote yes. I gave up screen names along time ago.
