One of life's disappointing moments

We have a very intense sheriff's race in progress in Walton County. All the candidates should be heard when it is possible to access them.

Today, Dennis Wise held an open question and answer session and introduction get togethe at the Smiling Fish Cafe between 1:00 P.M. and 2:00 P.M..

For all of SoWal's expressions of interest in the sheriff's political race and the opinions of all SoWal voters and, obviously non voters, the turn out was amazing! Two people, my wife and I attended. Please, SoWallers, no longer tell me how interested you are in hearing the facts and opinions candidates for local office can offer when you can't take the time to go and listen to them.

The conversation with Dennis Wise was informative and very interesting. He has no axe to grind with anyone and after talking with him at lenght (For over an hour since we were the only ones to show enough interest to show up) it is obvious to me he would make a wonderful sheriff for Walton County. But then what would I know, I was the only one interested enough to show up to hear one of our candidates for sheriff share his program and plans for one of the most important positions in Walton County.

In addition, as stated previously, the turn out on Wednesday night was extremely light and disappointing. When I hear all the complaints and griping on this board about what a lousy job the elected sheriff is doing, I will certainly know where to place the blame and it won't necessarily be with the sheriff!
