New signs are funny

[ShallowsNole]

Experience...Jim Crawford served excellently on this board for years...12 years, if I'm not mistaken. Very familiar with the operation and employees of the Mosquito Control. Owner-operator of Crawford-Sugar Properties; also works in construction with his brother. As a businessman and heavy-equipment operator, he knows not only numbers but he also knows how to maintain ditches and drainage - and is willing to do the work himself if it needs to be done.

And not that it matters to anyone else, but I've known him for forty years and he is one of the few people that I would trust with my life. That has nothing to do with mosquitos, but I know he cares deeply about the citizens of South Walton. He is not a politician (and refuses to "politick") but instead a hard worker. It was a shock when he lost two years ago but it was largely due to the fact that our area has grown and not everybody knows him anymore. Those who do know him know that what I've said is true, and he is in awe of the support he has received.

This is my last post in this thread. Wishing everyone a wonderful fall weekend.

I haven't seen what the other candidates are actually bringing to this position in terms of qualifications and experience. If there is a candidate bio somewhere and someone could post it that would be helpful.

Instead of attacking be incumbent, could we please see some concrete information about the other candidates?

I am also okay with giving up 2 cups of coffee for the year to pay for The few dollars of the increase.

What "qualifications" are you looking for? There are no real qualifications for any office in the state of Florida. For most voters in Walton county, if one is a member of the First Baptist Church, a member of the Tea Party or other affiliation with the Walton County political machine that's good enough. It seems to me that Mr. Hudson has done a good job and he's always fourthcoming and honest in what he has to say. That's a refreshing change from most of Walton county's politicians.

Looks like candidates are allowed to spew false info on the radio. You pay (bonnie) you get the play...

Sad that $$$ buys your way. Spread false info to low info voters and cross fingers.

Ronnie is probably a good guy but has just been snookered by the powers with $$$.

Sad but he'll figure it out. Maybe not soon enough.

I hope he is planning to denounce his free insurance and benefits IF he's elected. He'd be double dipping. He's got Tri-care ins.

One cannot also dispute that he has a criminal history. Not sure that's the resume of a guy I want running anything, but he'd fit in.

As for the others: one is very knowledgeable of current Mosquito activity while the other has Ben in the past... Neither have rap sheets...

Ronnie isn't the first guy that his "supporters" have used. It's what they do.

Walton County- once again, doing its best!

The SWCMCD Commissioners altered the Benefits plan for new employees in 2013.

Those who are employed after that date do not receive the same benefits. There are currently 2 employees that fall into the new class.

1. There is no spousal medical payment by the District and they do not receive the $1250.00 supplemental insurance.

2. Commissioners elected after that date would fall in the new benefits category.

3. Part time employees have no company provided benefits. Never have contrary to what people have been told.

4. Not all employees participate in all of the benefits that are available.

5. The benefits package available to those employees hired prior to the creation of a new package (new employee group) Was created more than 10 years ago.

Those ads are a gross misrepresentation of the real facts.

Some people care very little about the facts, their only desire is their own agenda and power. And their advertising is designed to deceive people instead of informing them about what they want to see accomplished. It seems the same group of people are behind every one of these campaigns and their money and support comes with a price.

I understand that. My point is that Faulk is bashing the alleged "Cadillac Benefits Package" (His words from his radio ad), so I just want to make sure he won't be taking the County benefits if he should be elected.

Speaking of Cadillac Benefits, how about Cecila Jones' three months of FREE Health Insurance for Jerry??? That's a Cadillac...

what's funny is how this was posted in the future @12:15pm and its 11:40 all on 11/3/14

What's funny is what the person misrepresenting the "tax increase" actually pays in property taxes. He pays "Nothing", "Zip" , "Nada" "A big goose egg". This is his tax bill.



So much for a 26% tax increase.

Oh yeah here his tax bill on this from last year.


Oh my - his taxes actually decrease by 334 %
