You lost me right about here. Just not sure what you mean.

And you confusion is what?

My point Jerry Lewis, is that folks have been so busy pointing fingers and attacking the folks they *THINK* are responsible that they have not bothered to do the research to find out. It's just been fill gear attack mode.

I'm sorry, my icons are still missing in action and I'm still unable to edit and correct correct typos after I hit "post reply".

That should have read "My point Jerry Lewis, is that folks have been so busy pointing fingers and attacking the folks they *THINK* are responsible that they have not bothered to do the research to find out. It's just been FULL BLOWN riot gear, attack mode.

The TDC debacle stemmed from Dawn Moliterno and Scott Brannon running that place like a club and bringing his personal attorney to the show. That is the same bunch that put Scott and Dawn in there, that is supporting Tony. That is Fact and now almost 6 of the last 8 years you bring up have had Cecilia jones involved. (Tony Recruiter and supporter) That means the results you disapprove of were 75% influenced and led by the regime you now support strengthening by electing Tony. You need to read what you wrote and understand time periods and who did what. I believe dawn was the highest paid employee in Walton County besides county attorney and meadows was the one who took out the trash. Cecilia wanted Bagby gone to protect beach vendors which is one of the reasons she wants Tony.

Unfortunately your facts are wrong. I will agree Dawn and Scott messed up but Bagbey was a mess from the get go. Bagbey was Cindy's pick and answered to her and shunned the rest of the commission. A man, boss, or head of our TDC should never treat women employees that way. If you want to talk county attorney. Mark was also Cindy's pick. She actually was the one who put the motion forward to have to have 4 votes to get rid of him. Mark couldn't litigate his way out of a wet paper sack. He advised the county to vote for the beach ordinance removing the signs and then when he see he got called on it. He backed down or did he do this so Cindy could try to gain votes by reinstating it? We need a lawyer who will give law advise that will keep the county legal and keep the constitution. We all really know Cindy is not for customary use. She knows that is the only way to have a chance to win. I got news for everyone Cindy has her good ole boy system. It would be ok if they wanted the greater good for the county instead of a select few on the south end.

There seems to be confusion on your end.

To my knowledge Mr. Bagby was never on the Destin City council, he'd have to live there for that to happen. He was employed by Rosemary as the town manager, is that perhaps where you got confused?

Also, the BP gift card issue was under Dawn's watch not Jim's and in fact he changed procedures after the investigation to prevent things from going missing.

Your knowledge is wrong. He was employed at Rosemary while serving on the Destin city council. Did I say Bagby was over it then?

I'm glad B&B raised the issue of the TDC Gift Cards. Many a County Employee received the cards, including County Administrator Larry Jones. He booked a tent camp site for about $15 at Topsail and then received a gift card as part of the program. Many simply made the reservation and never checked in at the parks.

Local State Park Employees also benefited from the gift card program too.

That program was an epic failure and reeks of corruption.

If there is a candidate that is going to work to prevent this sort of thing, they'll have my vote!

How do you feel about her trying to keep a major employee at the TDC after he sexual harassed other employees? Thus we have a the resignation aka he was going to get fired.

TRUTH!!!

@Born&Bread you seem to mean well but you have things twisted. And the hyperbole about scandal after scandal is just not true.

Scott Brannon was a cluster and was created and supported by the same people as are behind the SBA and Tony Anderson. They buy elections and buy candidates.

The Our Generation PAC is very troubling. More people who are trying to buy elections. Are the same people behind it?

THE SBA IS GOING TO SAVE THIS COUNTY FROM CINDY AND HER CREW.

 

[Born&Bread]

Earl, remember it took 3 votes to get us where we are and 3 votes to change things. One commission candidate can tell us what they want to do but they need 2 more to get it accomplished. So to find who is to blame you would need to go back and find out exactly how the sitting commissioners voted. What specific votes do you think caused "this mess?" That is where you must start.

The TDC caused the majority of this mess. I guess I have a little bit more inside knowledge on how this county works than most.

 

[Born&Bread]

Jim was on the Destin City Council while he was the TDC director.

He was also the Rosemary Town manager prior to being unanimously selected as the TDC Director.

He brought professional leadership to the TDC.

Why did he resign? I know.

Where are these alleged facts?



What does my daughter have to do with the alleged facts or the issues? In a word...nothing.

A dark group? Let me be clear. I am NOT a member of any dark group. I have never met Dave R. In all honesty, I think he cares very little about me or my opinions. I have personally met Suzanne Harris one (1) time. I have known of her since since she originally filed suit against Walton County for Sunshine violations and I have applauded the courage and conviction it took for her to do that. It's not easy to take on the "good ole boy" system here and walk away with any shred of dignity. I admire that she was and still is willing to subject herself to public ridicule, humiliation and the personal attacks on her character from people whom she has never met and who hide behind fake ID's. That takes REAL courage and one must admit she is a force to be reckoned with in one very tiny little package. I have personally met Alan Osborne one (1) time. Any other interaction I have had with him would have been at past BCC meetings where he spoke of the issues regarding Driftwood Estates which, he also sued the County over and won. If the truth were told, he gave the BCC ample opportunity to make right the wrongs that literally occurred in his own back yard and continue to occur to this day. As for Danny G, he will tell you himself that I told him last night (in fact) there was a time that I would NOT have turned a water hose on him if his backside was on fire. The difference between you and I in that regard is, I have not hidden behind my past disdain of him with a fake ID. I told him face to face and I called him out publicly for things I felt he did while drawing a paycheck from County government that he should never have done. I also believe that he has worked tirelessly to put his own demons behind him, move forward and try to make a real difference for a better Walton County including, open and honest government operated in the Sunshine. There are still things he and I disagree on but he extended the olive branch to communicate one on one to achieve the goals that will set Walton County on the right path and he has done it as himself, not some cowardly fake ID. Danny is also one of the very few nowadays that continues to attend every BCC he is able to attend, to be informed and actively work to try and make a difference. Kudos's for that! My only participation these days is to vote. and speak out and voice my opinion on issues I am concerned about on this forum and some on FB.

As for Our Generation....I had no idea who was behind those ads at first. I know now and if any of you had done the work you would know too but you are so busy blaming the wrong people, pointing fingers, hiding behind fake ID's attacking private citizens and spewing verbiage at anyone who disagrees with you and supporting people who have bought elections in this County that you couldn't be bothered to do the actual research! You don't deserve to know who is behind those ads. I do NOT agree with how the ads were done and I did NOT appreciate the half truths the ads implied but by golly they served a REAL purpose and the purpose was to bring to the light (or the Sunshine if you will) the issues that have plagued this County for more than 130 years of corruption, back room deals and dirty politics. The one thing the ads didn't do....they did NOT create open honest dialogue but they sure riled the "good ole boys" enough for ya'll to create fake ID's and go on the attack against private citizens. And that my dear was a VERY PREDICTABLE outcome.

"It's just the way it's done round here"! So again, Thank You again for that "enlightenment". Nothing has said it better!

Kudos, good job!

I will say sorry about the daughter comment it was not meant that way. Now will you say sorry for all the lies you spread on here?
