Harassment Charges filed against Walton County

Will do Lynda. Thanks again Lynda.

CONGRATULATIONS! 3 Cheers! The largest trophy goes to .... YOU!!! YOU have solved the impossible mystery!!! We've all been agonizing over that one!! PLEASE everyone send some applause and praise to " Wouldn't You Like to Know" !! Now are you capable of moving on to the real business at hand? Thanks!!!

Does anyone know WHO has been tasked with investigating all of this?

It sounds like a three ring circus.

The "POT" calling the kettle...remember this? Allegations based purely and solely on hearsay, no proof what-so-ever!


If you can't view the video let me know and I'll upload it to youtube.

Great Video.
It exposes the fraudster for what she is.
Did any of C. Jones' allegations see the light of day? None. In fact, a Grand Jury report cleared C. Meadows.
Now, for over a month, we see employee after employee pointing the finger right at Jones. Not just allegations, the County is conducting an investigation, so someone must see an issue.
Add to that, the pending legal actions against the county and I'd say the real problem has been identified.

Remember, the devil's biggest trick is getting people to believe he / she doesn't exist...

I never believed in the devil...until she was re-elected.

Oh He definitely exists! And he has many evil imps working for him in Walton County!

I apologize, but I think that I’m the only one that doesn’t understand. Did someone threaten to shoot another person in the face?

According to Cecilia Jones someone did. There was absolutely no proof of any kind that it ever happened. But her husband did point a gun at Bob Husdon.

Mark, you are always the best. Where is my avenger Cartoon that was not printed now is good time for Herald.

Facts were revealed that indicate Ms. Jones does sometimes become involved in certain day-to-day personnel matters. It is recommended that the County take steps to clarify the role of a Commissioner and to discuss best practices

Really!!! Wow!! So glad they told us something that we didnt already know!!

From the Grand Jury Report Dated September 4th 2015
"County Commissioners should not be involved in the day to day operations of the County"!

OK Bill Eddins do your job!

Yup, let's see Bill Eddins do his job...

Maybe when he's done with the mess in DFS involving the Mayor, ex-Finance Director(s) and the new County Planning Department Head, he can do something about this...

It is not over until it is over. My guess is a court will make the final decision. Mrs Hinote and Mr. Alford refused to speak to the investigator because Sidney our county attorney and the investigator would not allow them to have anyone present not even their own attorney. How tell me what county employee would go to be interviewed knowing Jerry Jomes could be watching every employee that went in . Did Jerry Jones take a gun to a citizens home twice, did that citizen notify Mike Adkinson by phome. Now tell me would you be afraid. This citizens wife sure was. THE BEST IS YET TO COME, STAY TUNED.

The State Attorney sure is dragging his feet on doing his job in Defuniak! No surprise there.

I had someone tell me they gave another deposition on that issue the other day and that they had also spoken with Pam Bondi!

We certainly got someone's attention!

My understanding is there is a Grand Jury investigation going on at this time, not on this matter but on DeFuniak Springs matter.

Hmmm
No court reporter
Witnesses not recorded
No verbatim of witnesses
Wonder why this investigation wasnt done like all the others?
I know.....so they can hide the truth.
Explains why there is no contract with the investigating attorney. How much you want to bet an employee will take the blame.

I will never let that happen. I am here for the long term

We are so lucky to have employees willing to step out and tell the truth. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose. They just want to come to work and do their job. Sad the have to fight not only the commissioner but also her husband. I hope the good people in Walton County see through this. Old saying you get what you pay for and we sure got what her backers paid for.

DeFuniak Springs investigation could go to grand jury

The State Attorney’s Office began its review of the way the city of DeFuniak Springs runs its government in July when complaints of fiscal mismanagement arose.

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS — It will be after the holidays before officials learn whether State Attorney Bill Eddins intends to take an investigation of the city’s financial fumbling to a grand jury.
“We are making substantial progress, and I expect we will complete our review and make a decision in January whether we will present our findings to a grand jury for further review,” Eddins said last week.
The State Attorney’s Office began its review of the way the city of DeFuniak Springs runs its government in July when complaints of fiscal mismanagement arose.
City officials were notified by their attorney in June that nearly $221,000 in sales tax revenues and municipal revenue sharing funds had been lost over a two-year period due to the failure to file required audits and annual financial reports in a timely manner.
The city initially failed to file either an audit or an annual financial report for fiscal 2013-14, according to attorney Clayton Adkinson’s report. A similar scenario played out during the 2014-15 reporting cycle.
The reporting violations were exacerbated by the city failing to respond to warning letters from the state, Adkinson said in his report. By the time city officials did get around to turning in required documents, they’d already heard from the state that they’d lost their funding.

State Attorney investigators continue to obtain documents and interview witnesses in the case, Eddins said. Those interviewed include city employees and City Council members as well as accountants and state employees versed in sales tax issues.
The scope of the inquiry was expanded in October when questions arose about what had happened to $368,063 the city obtained through a 2014 legal settlement with British Petroleum.
Eddins compared the city investigation to a 2015 inquiry that looked at the Walton County Planning Department.
In that case, paperwork uncovered by a department employee showed that twice, once in 2005 and again in 2006, accounting errors had led to a failure to collect proper recreation fees from development interests. The first time, $614.25 was charged when the bill should have been $614,250. The second time, $20,560.25 was charged on a $205,560.25 invoice.
That case was turned over to a grand jury that not only found “the failure to collect almost $800,000 in recreation fees to be egregious and unacceptable,” but also called for the indictment of Pat Blackshear, a former Planning Department director, on perjury charges.
Blackshear pleaded no contest to the charges and was sentenced to two and a half years of probation.
