I see the problem! My opinion seems to conflict with your unionization efforts of Walton employees. You are a political player here where I am only a concerned citizen. Now it all makes since fire fighter 2.

Dave,

Just because some of your friends and family have moved away doesn't mean the population has gone down. If anything the population has gone up. I don't feel like debating it, we'll just wait for the 2010 census figures.

The more I think about it the more upset I become. Here I am, Joe Blow citizen, debating a political issue that affects my family and friends with what I think are just more citizens. Turns out you work for the gov. and have a fixed political agenda. I now wonder who the other four are. While I respect your right to opinion, don't you think you should have come out of hiding and said who you are. And don't you think you should have said that you wanted to help unionize the sheriffs deputies so we all would have known what a cost freeze might have done to your efforts? Shame, Shame, Shame for not being strong enough to say who you are.

you know I used the only numbers available, the last official count.
By the way, who are you?

I'll say hi the next time I run into you.

P.S. Only if you promise not to hit me.

The bottom line Dave, is your opinion is just that...an opinion. You stated it, most disagreed with it, you wrote the powers that be regarding it and now we are back again where we started. If you think you are going to get converts from your continued babbling and beating of a very dead horse, good luck with that.

PS. As I see you are entering a paranoid state of denial, let me reassure you that I do not work in the local government or have any contact with those who do in any capacity.

As for who I am, my name is in one of these forums. As for who I work for and my political agenda they are not one in the same. As for supporting anyone right to Unionize, I do and was more than willing to assist those working in Law Enforcement. But I can assure you my opposition to your thread had nothing to do with the number of officers available to serve the public in this or any other county. My opposition was to your comments, with regards to Drunk Driving, Impaired Driving and the likes. I was amazed that you really thought your suggestion of migrant cops was a good one, but thank God you seem to be in the minority. As for what a cost freeze may cost, why don't you ask those on this board when the last time not only they and the government workers who work for them last had a pay raise. I have not shied away from my convictions that those who work for us, because yes I am a tax payer also, desire compensation. You think you are the only person out there who is struggling, you are not. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder because you got busted, there I said it. Although I like the idea on people not knowing who I am, trust me, my name is out there, or PM me and we can schedule a time to meet. Because I am not ashamed of who I am, or what I stand for.

Stick to debating the issue and not the person. If you or the other person's arguments hold water it doesn't matter where you work. Everyone involved in an issue has an agenda. You say you are debating policy but now you are trying to make it personal.

A rose is still a rose by any other name. Same for neighbors.
