Here is something else to think about....last year the BCC handed over control of Walton County Fire Rescue to the Sheriff because they were incapable of managing it to the dismay of some here who were against it from the onset saying it would ultimately cost more money to those who could least afford it. No argument that that isn't true because I believe it probably will in the long run. Later, after the transition had taken place the Sheriff sent his spokesperson back to the BCC asking for money that had already been allocated to WCFR in order to purchase much needed safety equipment and restore some semblance of order where previously there had been only chaos. You would have thought they were asking for a kings ransom and the kings head with Chapman raking them across the coals for money that had already been allocated to them, followed by remarks about budget cuts and no money.
Suddenly...we are less than 30 days into the new year and $600 thousand dollars for a press box? Seriously?
I hope you folks from WCFR who have pumped C. Jones and T. Anderson up as freakin heros for saving your backsides from the conditions you were living in and the equipment you lacked with the transition of power to the Sheriff remember this. Your lives mean nothing to Cecilia Jones if it prevents her from getting something she wants. If you're the sacrificial lamb so be it.
