I'm still up in the air on my vote, but its not going to Faulk. When was the last time Adkinson Law firm threw $$$ at this race??? Red flag for me. They need to keep to their DFS and Freeport charade.

I tend to agree. I simply can not and will not support any one who would accept campaign contributions from the Adkinson bunch.

On another note...I've been thinking about the no brainer complaint filed on Harris....and for the life of me I can't imagine Clay or Clayton not understanding this one. They can get a drunk off who plunged 60 feet into the bay with a slap on the wrist but can't understand a "Florida Only" license and worse than that...they don't comprehend the laws regarding voting in this State?

Or maybe they wanted Brannon to be the laughing stock of the County....it worked.:D

Great point about the "ruder incident".

Adkinson contributions are suspicious to me. Looks like Dana Mathews, Mike Adkinsons attorney also donated. That's odd, no...?

Lots of people have been subjects of "investigations" by WCSO.

For far less reasons than attempting to impersonate a Commissioner.....just ask Ms. Harris.

I would trust any of these names more than yours, since you won't run who are you supporting financially?

I am glad someone finally told the truth about the Florida Retirement System and how participation works. If a government entity chooses to participate, the future liability is shifted to the State, but ALL employees must be enrolled. The benefit of shifting the liability far outweighs the upfront cost. IMHO.

Love capturing socialism quotes when they come up.
