This is a very unfortunate turn of events. Bill Imfeld was and will remain, the most qualified candidate for Sheriff this County has seen in a very long time. It is a sad state of affairs when the current elected sheriff has to seek legal counsel to find a loop hole from 1939 to try to eliminate the man who was going to be the next Sheriff in Walton County. Why can't the current sheriff run a campaign and get the votes of the people? The reason is that he senses defeat and is running scared. Like any coward, instead of taking a head on approach, he goes the back door. The current sheriff knows he can't measure up to Bill Imfeld, not many, if any candidates can.
What is really sad is that when you break it all down, all the sheriff has done is prevented the citizens of Walton County, the voters, the voice of the community, from having the opportunity to CHOOSE its elected Sheriff for the next four years. Great Job with that one. It measures up with the firing of two pregnant females, loosing taxpayers money, failing to withhold tax money for his employees, promoting unqualified employees to positions of high authority (only to recently put them back where they belong), the list goes on and on and on.
People of Walton County need to wake up and realize that in a world of global terrorism, violent criminals, illegal immigration and numerous other serious issues, a true leader needs to be in office in the Walton County Sheriff's Office. That leader is and will remain to be, Bill Imfeld.
What ever does not kill you, makes you stronger.
Thank you.
