Bill Williams the Triumph Liaison for Walton County had his water bill shut off for non payment and went to City Hall to have it turned back on without paying the bill. The City refused so, he went to the new City Manager Danny Lucas and poor mouthed him and Danny Lucas ordered the water turned back on.

This would NOT have been done for any other resident in the City of Defuniak so why the hell-o was it done for him?

This guy (Bill Williams) has bled this County dry asking for donations to help his crippled wife to the tune of thousands of dollars and to help his children with Down Syndrome, got a 25 thousand dollar upright wheelchair donated to them and a 20 thousand dollar handicapped van and now we have to pay his water bill? What the hell has he done with all the money he and his wife accepted in donations.

Bought a 1/2 million dollar 2 story home, with a pool that he could not afford AFTER his wife's accident (the accident was in Nov 2016 they closed on the Biddle House in Jan 2017 and they knew they were going to have long term medical issues not including the ones for his children and we still have to bail this man out for a water bill?

AGAIN, this would not have been done for any other resident in the City of Defuniak Springs but because Bill Williams thinks hes a big shot it was done for him!

Sad if he owed this for water how much does he owe in other bills. How about his house payment? Is that paid? Seems he is living ossuary snobs his means and I fount he will have any more people willing to support him.

THE ISSUE WITH THE WATER BILL AT 73 SCRIBNER AVE. DFS..
Was NOT that the water was shut off for non payment, City workers did just exactly what City ordinances dictate albeit it was done 4 months late! The issue WAS/IS that it was turned back on in violation of City ordinances/law because Mayor Campbell instructed Danny Lucas (City Manager) to do so. The Mayor has NO AUTHORITY what-so-ever to either order or tell another city employee to disregard/ignore ordinances established by the City Council.

As Councilman Ron Kelly said tonight..."This is NOT the first time Bob Campbell has gone behind councils back nor is it the second or third time". There is a HISTORY of it and the City is constantly being put in a position to clean up what he has screwed up, preventing the City from being able to move forward or deal with other city business.

Councilman Kelly also called for Mayor Bob Campbell to be censured. For those who don't understand censure by definition it is; "a formal, public reprimand for an infraction or violation. From time to time deliberative bodies are forced to take action against members whose actions or behavior runs counter to the group's acceptable standards for individual behavior". Again, I believe Councilman Kelly hit the nail on the proverbial head and censure is TOTALLY warranted. Had it happened sooner, there may have been no need for the meeting tonight but regardless, Bob Campbell as run a muck long enough.

Councilman Wright has had much the same issues Councilman Kelly has had in regard to Bob Campbell's actions and sadly he has made himself unpopular with some for his willingness to do right by all the citizens in the City even when they are to blind to see that his actions are in their best interests. More on that later. Thank you Councilman Kermit Wright for standing for all of us and PLEASE keep the heat on in regard to reprimanding those responsible for this fiasco!

Janie Griffith actually called for the special meeting which was a pleasant surprise to me initially when I first learned of it but the meeting was called for the right reason. KUDO'S! It wasn't about the water bill and why it was NOT paid, it was about Bob Campbell and Danny Lucas's actions.

Bob Campbell was not there...I'm told he is sick so Pro-Tem Mayor Ennis opened the meeting. While he didn't say anything during the meeting I did speak to him prior to it and he was in agreement that if this is done for one it needs to be done for all and Campbell had NO AUTHORITY to do it!

I saw a UNANIMOUS board tonight who were all in complete agreement and for all the right reasons. There was no agenda of pleasing a few while ignoring others and if the board can continue in this vein, this City might actually move forward!

Thank you one and all!

The vote was 4-0 to shut the water off unless the bill is paid before the end of business day tomorrow!
