Not nice to tell people "Don't enforce the rules right now."


They had the same conversation in Defuniak in June with Robert Nelson the vocal opponent.

Somebody just PM'd me that this Carpenter guy is A realtor, A planning department employee and an elected official. My god he is another jason catalano. Is anything a conflict in this county? Those people over the sign issue may be his future boss or political ally. Like cecilia jones chairing the TDC while her son is a beach vendor. Nobody gets this???? Cecilia district contributes just over 2% of the county's tax base but she wants to say how 90% is handled and who handles it. That my fellow posters is a great definition of a Bernie Sanders/ Hillary democrat. Good government must be as free as possible from conflict to be effective. That's why the military works so well. Everybody moves around so much, there are few alliances that can be made and less room for improper influence. Everybody reads the rules and executes the mission to the written standards fairly and without undue influence so the system works. Get to friendly with someone and "poof" they move you to new people and you start all over. I wish washington, state and local officials had this way of cleansing themselves through disciplined practices, but alas, such a wish is every true americans real wish.

PG...Mac Work was in real estate prior to leaving the City Council and I think may still dabble in it. I think someone is confusing the 2 because of their first names.

Planning dept, Elected official....not a good mix even if not a realtor. Again, If he directs Tony's signs not to be taken down and Tony becomes one of his new bosses, I think we have an ethics violation. If a single commissioner directed larry, to direct wayne to direct Mac to direct code enforcement not to enforce the code,,,,, we probably have an ethics complaint and you are probably in Walton County if I had my eyes closed.

Now you're connecting the dots. "This is just the way we've always done things round here" and how the garbage keeps being re-cycled.

Political signs in Defuniak Springs Notice:

The city of DeFuniak Springs and DOT has informed political candidates that they are removing signs from the right a ways and I support their decision.

However, if you message the candidate of your choice, most of them are very receptive to getting you a sign. Most candidates are listed on Facebook.
