    Report: $200,000 spent to check up on Sonny Mares' credit card bills

    $200,000 spent And why did a commissioner and the attorney have any input in the draft review? Being the Chair does not give him/her any power greater than any of the other BBC. Brannon was the commissioner who went to Enterprise and was the commissioner who wanted to get rid of Mares and...

    Report: $200,000 spent to check up on Sonny Mares' credit card bills

    $200,000 spent Questions to ask; How did Bill Imfeld get the authority to sign anything obligating the BCC or the TDC? Was it budgeted? Did he know how much it cost before he signed the agreement?

    Report: $200,000 spent to check up on Sonny Mares' credit card bills

    $200,000 spent My best guess is that after the audit got underway there were more people than Mares involved so the scope was altered.

    Report: $200,000 spent to check up on Sonny Mares' credit card bills

    $200,000 spent Shocked is an understatement!! The TDC members should be cautious about questioning Dawn, she will have the BCC replace anyone who questions her. The administrator went back to public works with the same salary. The public works director that stepped down probably kept the...

    Monster Blue Signs Are Now Black.

    Monster Blue Signs Are Now Black.

    Blue Signs Hughes Ditch is a water shed drainage ditch dug after WWII by crews working in a federal program called the CC's. From what I have always heard this program was to give work to young men returning from the war. Today it is the Army Corps of Engineers.

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    Proposed Rental Ordinance My proof is that I know first hand how this works, always has and always will. If you want to see what kind of power this individual has just request the records on the Chat Holley Road/331 right of way acquisition (the records are BLUE all over). You are...

    Proposed Rental Ordinance Update?

    Proposed Rental Ordinance I have one other question for them; can't you find somthing constructive to do? The BCC will never pass the ordinance, just keep delaying it until they actually have to do something. They do have someone pushing for it because he owns a building that can...

    Seagrove speed bump...

    Seagrove speed bumps A lot of things that Dawn has done and will do in the future should be feared. She can get the BCC to do whatever she wants them to do.

    Corrupt Walton County

    You can help yourself by doing some research and having some real evidence to produce. A good start would be to make public records requests for the areas you think are corrupt. When you have sufficient evidence then you take it to the state's attorney.

    Commission chair responds to "cash cow" remarks

    I guess that the voters think that it is better to keep what we have than to take a chance on someone being worse.

    Commission chair responds to "cash cow" remarks

    Chairman addresses CashCow remarks Good for Commissioner Jones, it is refreshing to see that at least one commissioner has the backbone to speak up. Gaetz's remarks were completely inappropriate , I would bet he had no idea of what the HCP is or why it is being required. The fees passed on...

    County commission to seek administrator

    Hopefully the Commissoners will allow a new administrator to do the job without their day to day interference. Until they do this noone can do the job. With the 5 of them and the 6th commissioner (Jerry Jones) telling the adminstrator who to hire and who to fire it is an impossible task.

    Coastal Branch Library Assistants?

    Gary Mattison - Conflict of Interest ?

    Gary Mattison, Conflict of interest Why would he? He works from home and runs the show. Nothing happens unless he says it is OK. He gave Molinterno and Mares a sweet deal.
