Can Alan Osborne sue himself?

InterestedGirl, I think Alan has given you much more attention than you deserve. All of the information you request is public record. You may access it via the Clerk of Courts Office.

Drivingthru, how is the general public supposed to know whether or not underground pipes are installed through observation? Your statement of learning about property before you purchase is very good. However, you cannot tell me that you can see underground infrastructure such as the missing pipes. Heck, the County Engineer signed off on the paper work as though the infrastructure was installed as engineered, and the County took four years before they ever found out the real truth, and that was only a few months ago. Even the County was somewhat surprised, because the development would have not been approved if the infrastructure wasn't installed. Oversite? Fraud? Negligence? I'm not sure the reason, but the County now states after investigation, that the infrastructure wasn't installed as engineered and required.

I will add that if you are an early purchaser in a development, and your home is built, but the others are not, when the developer fills the surrounding wetlands which were designed to be retention ponds, and builds more homes on them, your early investigation would be useless. You have to rely on what the original development plans show as future builds.

Joe I agree with you but there is one developer that requires no plans when he built, and that is the Good Lord. The point I was trying, to make and I guess maybe I fell short, is if it rains and water stands, chances are it will stand and not drain every time. That would give one a pretty good indication that the drainage is not working very well. Most everything north of 98 is or was a swamp. I have no problem with Osborne doing what is right trying to make the developer fix what is wrong, I commend him for it. But I cant help but think there will be a conflict of interest for him if he at any time votes on anything involving his community and thus I believe he will have to recuse himself. Will he have any influence on the other Members in their vote? There is always that chance that the County may end up paying millions. If they are wrong, and proven wrong, so be it but I dont want more of my dollars tied up in litigation.

Sorry folks I happen to live in Miramar Beach.

Your vial dribble is sophmoric (actually more like 4 year old behavior on a playground) at best. Folks like you do no service for any of the candidates.
If you want to support a candidate, support that person; do not attack another you personally oppose with lies, video clips that you attempt to take out of context, and someone you do not know.
Mr. Osborne asked you a question, you should answer it. Smilin Joe provided you with resources to get your questions answered. Your responses speak volumes to your true agenda here and nothing more. Based on the other respondents' comments, your plan here has sorely backfired.
Shame on you too for your disrespect to the residents/voters of South Walton.

Shock the World

I would love to see Alan and Bob get together and determine who has the best chance of winning based on recent polling, then have one throw their support to the other publicly. This would at least make certain that the folks in District 5 are represented by one of there own residents. I am sure this is wishful thinking at this point. As I have stated all along, Jones will win because of the things the "bragging" poster writes about. It is a shame!

The current County Commissioners, other than Comm Meadows, hasn't listened to Alan yet, so I don't know why anyone would think that he suddenly would have pull of favor for Driftwood in any Commissioner votes. He certainly is required by law to recuse himself from any such vote.

It is certainly a shame that this did not occur in this race and the sheriff's race. However, it is unrealistic to think that anyone who has invested their blood, sweat and tears (so to speak) in a campaign is going to withdraw at this juncture. People do not enter political races unless they believe they are truly the best man for the job, desire power or think there is some gain in it for them. Neither thought process lends itself to what you are suggesting.
By the way, in my opinion both Mr. Osbourne and Mr. Hudson are in the race because they believe they are the best man for the job.May the best man win.
