Internal Audit of Walton County BCC

[Professor]

They know they won’t be reprimanded, let alone prosecuted. Which tells me the rot goes higher up the chain toward Tallahassee. I wonder if even the state AG would investigate. I’m honestly asking, I don’t know.

it’s going to take enough registered to vote “newcomers” in the South End to extract these North End ”this is OUR county” people from places of power to save SoWal from becoming one big congealed, congested parking lot. Or a major credit/cureency/financial collapse (likely).

North end, South end, Female Male, Red Blue, are you not sick and tired of all the BS? Talking of South siders (dare I join the fray) I saw a certain 'southerner' on this or another forum described as a local activist (activist, no; actively interfering, yes). Keep the southern Busybody far away from these county investigations. If not, question her (yes, her) hard for hidden agendas / ulterior motives that meet only her personal interests. Once hands are dirtied it's hard to present them again as clean. Once a cheater..., or so it's said.

I believe cryptic innuendo is more fun and less chance of scathing rebukes.

After my initials reaction to these revelations I will say this now that I have let it simmer a few days. 1. If there was money spent outside of what was allowed they should be accountable for it. 2. The Clerk of Court failed in his ELECTED Position and duty to oversee the finances of the County and the procedures in place to ensure documentation. 3. It is obvious by what I saw in the report, except for a few incidences, dates of expenses lined up with what they were supposed to be doing. 4 Lavish spending see #1. I have heard the possible change in how these are done are going to be placed on the Commissioner Aides. Personally I hate this idea, but if it is going that way there should be at a minimum annual documented training with signatures of both the Aide and Commissioner so they are on the exact page. Personally the rules change is just that but it doesn't change that fact that they didn't follow the rules the last time. I have heard RUMOR the States Attorney did review the report, I also heard that they found no criminal intent. For those who want the State to step in, be careful what you ask for. You could be stuck in the most literal of terms by 4 people who you would never vote for but because they are friends of friends and large money donor of politicians you could see somebody like a developer, big business and the like running your Commission at least for 2 years and 1 of them for 4. It is incumbent on those folks to earn our trust. Just a thought.

The big question is what do the receipts say? You can get an old hotel receipt, there's more here than the commissioners are willing to fess up about. Oh to be in Defuniak this morning.

Feels like something that has been allowed for a long time. Free gas, food, hotels, flights.... For poor overworked Commissioners who "deserve" perks for doing work for the people.
