Is the sheriff's office going to get the jail or is that a lost cause?

I don't know that I would go so far as to call grants "government welfare" and they usually require a lot of information and justification for funding. There are better ways, I'm sure, to redistribute tax monies (note I said tax monies, not wealth). Your representative and senator may be the place to start in order to change the system. Good Luck!:D

You didnt say

I hope the Board of County Commissioners doesn't hand over the jail keys to the Sheriff's Office. He manages to go over budget on everything he touches. I understand Adkinson's expansion of the emergency operations center complete with a dozen in wall plasma televisions and thousand dollar chairs is about a half-million over the initial cost estimate. I guess us taxpayers would serve the sentence of such a bonehead decision by the lap dog administrator lyle z. and the county commissioners.

about all the money he has spent on new SUV's, Trucks I remember a time when everyone complained about the much needed new cars being brought but nothng about all he has brought.

Maybe because contrary to what others have said, he is doing all of this under budget.

I imagine better than those saying he is going over budget can. At least I ask the guy and have a statement from him to the contrary.

Is that like the statement that Barker was not forced to resign and that he was doing a "phenomenal" job and was leaving with a "strong recommendation." Just asking.:idontno:

Present proof, the Sheriff is not going to sacrifice himself over a public records violation. He only gets 1/12th of his money each month so there is no way to go over budget without getting additional dollars from somewhere.

Tainted Administration

If the County Commission relinquishes the jail back to the Sheriff's Office I understand he already has in place a member of his staff to take over the jail.
Former State Warden Henry Alford who was sacked by Former Governor Jeb Bush on serious matters. Now, we'll most likely see this failure as a career state employee take over the Walton Co. Jail.
i guess Sheriff Adkinson and President Obama have something in common. They both believe they know better than a Bush. It isn't happening on the "Belt Way" in Washington. And Adkinson you sure don't have what it takes to outsmart Jeb.
