Has anyone gotten the same message from Scott Brannon?

As I told another person who relayed the same response, if Scott Brannon really wanted to meat with you to hear your concerns, he would have shown up to the meetings. It is possible that he just doesn't care what people have to say. Perhaps if we scheduled many one on one meetings with Commissioner Brannon, he'd finally get the message. How about 150 - 200 personal meetings with Scott, on the issue?

Just noticed the signature, "Scott." Sounds so much more personal and friendly than Commissioner Brannon.

Yes, Bdarg received the same message.

Honestly, it just sounded plain weird to me.;-) Either a ton of personal meetings would do the trick or one big meeting that he has to face everyone at once.

I know a few other people were planning on sending him e-mails after the last TDC meeting. I will be interested to see if they received the same response.

I think Bdarg is planning on setting up a meeting, but when the dust settles after this week.

Poor Bdarg. I think it wishes it was prom confetti. He is so busy at work that he will be lucky to make prom on time.

He's ridin' the rails again this week...you know, the engineer job.

I just think that 200, one-on-one meetings would send him the message that he can either show up to the public meetings and listen to public comments, or he can wait and listen to 200, fifteen minute meetings in his office. I think that would really drive the point home that he needs to show up to the meetings. The problem is that he doesn't care to listen, and if he won't listen to everyone as a collective group, I don't think he will give any consideration to an individual. Just look at the reply email from him, not addressing the particular points made in the original email from the concerned citizen. No response like, I was in Washington DC, meeting with lobbyists to get funding for our county. His response was much like Sen. Hollings' response when someone would call him about a particular issue. The Senator would let the person begin telling their thoughts, and then he would interrupt and in his very southern voice say, "Wait a minute. I'm going to get a pencil and pad and write this down. It sounds important."

Sometimes you know too much for your own good ;-). That's classic and I can definitely see that happening!!

OM, I hope you and others take him up on his offer. He'll at least have to prepare for something! ... Then again ? maybe not .. and you'll really know how little he cares.

.

Schedule lots of meetings - if he meets with you, you are letting him know about issues, if he doesn't take you seriously, then you know that you should have given him more $.

...sounds like he has PPA--political passive agressiveness....

I wrote him last week after the TDC meeting & I got this message (see below) on Thursday. Has anyone else gotten the same or similar messages? I heard a rumour from a reliable SoWal source that other people had gotten similar messages when contacting Mr. Brannon via email.

Would y'all like to get a group together to go meet with him at the same time?

BTW, I put it here so the avg Joe Schmoe, unregistered lurker wouldn't read it.

Thank you for your recent email regarding your concerns of the TDC meetings. I would like to meet with you to discuss your concerns. If you could please contact my office at (850) 835-4860 so I can schedule a meeting with you.

Sincerely,

Scott​

My plan is to look up the date and time of the next TDC meeting, call Mr. Brannon's office and schedule a meeting at the TDC for that same time. That way maybe he will show up for once.

that's a good one, bdarg.

Seriously, guys, do you really think Scott Brannon needs to go to county meetings? Don't you see Governor written all over him. The man has important photo ops at Morrison Springs, where he's putting in a big, huge parking lot to accommodate tour buses so that they can walk up to the platform built over the boil and admire the lovely, pristine, natural spring. Didn't you see him in the paper?

And oh, he had his picture made with the Secretary of Transportation in Tallahassee. He is just the very model of a Floridian politician.

His daddy already tried running for Governor, from what I hear.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Morrison Spring?

I love the springs. They are almost as fabulous a natural resource as the beach.

The Springs are great, but I'm afraid they will be ruined when the County opens flood gates, by building all of the crap around the area. That is always a problem. Add nice amenities, and the people come and wreck the place.

Maybe some mermaids in the water.

I got one too and don't expect anything to be done.:angry::angry:
