[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][SIZE=4][B]This is an excerpt from a Chief Adkinson post on SoWal...[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman][B] just the messenger y'all...[/B] "...I am glad to hear that several of the other candidates have now adopted my position on unifying 911/dispatch services, which is a pillar of my platform. Also, in the DFSP 2007/08 budget, we were able to find almost $90,000 that was erroneously diverted from the police department's budget over the course of 10 years. That money was placed into our budget to allow us to put computers in our cars at no cost to the taxpayer. [/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]We then found that for the last 28 years, the city of DeFuniak Springs helped subsidize the Sheriff's training budget instead of funding its own police department. The training budget was so underfunded that in [B][U]2005 the training budget for the entire agency was only $593.00[/U]. [/B]Since then, we have increased the training budget to $15,000 for the 2008/09 budget, thereby increasing our level of service and professionalism. [SIZE=4][B][COLOR=Red]We also added a fitness policy with a financial incentive (2006/7)."[/COLOR] [/B][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][B][SIZE=4]I don't really need to point out the obvious here do I? What is the Chief's weight? 350...400 (+)? In all fairness, look at Cooper, Macon , and Cornman...let's talk "fitness." Apples and oranges? Who would YOU want to follow into battle? Fitness: Cornman or Macon? [U]All[/U] things considered...experience, skills, etc., etc., : [U]CORNMAN![/U] I know...I know... the Sheriff doesn't need to set the example...
