I agree it's important but not because of a guard and it's activities.
Frivolous waste of taxpyer funding should be a concern to ALL Walton County Citizens. It's not about picking and choosing which frivolous waste it is.

Andy, we can't control what goes on across the country. Yes, it's tragic but I don't feel its the taxpayers job to send law enforcement to funerals around the country when a simple memorial wreath is appropriate, I'm not bashing the Sheriff and I think he has done a ton of great things but I don't feel its the taxpayers job to pay for the travel (across the country) for a bunch of honor guards to get the the Sheriff's name in the paper or for publicity stunts. You're entitled to your opinion and so am I.Misty, maybe you should worry a little less about the sheriff's budget and a little more about the number of law enforcement officers being slaughter in this country. We really need to get a handle on why and what is happening to those who protect us every day of our lives.
Please ask the Sheriff's office directly and post here what you find out.Again Teresa....I want to know how much the travel budget is and what it cost!!!
Unlike some, I don't agree with frivolous waste of taxpayer funding. I agree with sending a single rep and even a memorial wreath. The idea of sending upwards of 13 individuals to Houston Tx. for pomp and ceremony is IMO BS.
Have no doubt I will find out Dawn. Not sure the Sheriff will give up the info willingly but it is public record.Please ask the Sheriff's office directly and post here what you find out.
