From WZEP 1460AM
Walton Commissioner Scott Brannon made a statement about what he calls lies, threats and attacks and said he will no longer sit idly with his hands tied behind his back. Brannon said he can admit he was wrong and made a mistake.
Brannon read from a statement and said cooperation with Suzanne Harris is doing exactly what she says. He said Harris sued the county and has used the press at every opportunity, though the commissioners have a policy to not talk about pending litigation. Brannon read a statement he had certified that made allegations against Harris. He also took a lie detector test and provided statements about the results.
The commissioner said he tried to reach out to Suzanne Harris as a commissioner and a TDC member in an attempt to assist her as a concerned citizen. He calls that a mistake. Brannon charges that while Harris may claim to be acting as a “citizen advocate”, she is nothing more than a person motivated by her own selfish desires for power and profit.
Brannon said in November of last year she asked him to come and meet with her concerning the lawsuit she was pending against the county. He said “cooperation” to Harris is doing exactly what she says. Brannon said it is and has been about how Harris can profit against Walton County.
Brannon also made statements against County Administrator Greg Kisela. He says Kisela met with Harris and it is obvious to him that Kisela decided he does not work for the Board and would rather play politics with Harris.
Brannon alleges he and people around him have been under attack and criticism from Harris. Brannon says he tried to work with her. In the statement, Brannon says, “You either do as she wants, or she goes after you in every way possible, without regard for the truth, ethics or moral integrity.”
Brannon stated that in a meeting with Harris, she stated, “or, what if Lloyd (Blue) found out my son had $50,000 in student loans from law school, and for $50,000 this all goes away.”
Brannon apologized to anyone he has insulted or offended. He said his behavior, at times was erratic and some things he has said and done are unacceptable as someone elected to serve the people of Walton County.
Brannon said he will not be seeking reelection to a third term to his office. He said this will allow him to refocus on completing the things he has started.
