Walton Sheriff Serves County Commission

Boy that went downhill quickly. First, if my grandchildren go to the firestation, it is to visit their parents. Secondly neither of my grandchildren would have been left at the firestation without 1 a parent or 2 a grandparent and never with someone on duty. You really should check your facts. As for the good old boy system, ok you got me. I could be like many others on here and obscure my identity and pretty much troll this place but I don't. That said, I do try to be respectful and yes, there are somethings that I feel are off limits, which you have crossed. That said I am sorry my opinions doesn't agree with yours and that you are so unhappy with the local government here. Matter of fact if I was so dissatisfied with it I would do something about it. That said, when you are ready to throw your name out there to run, give me a call and we can talk.

My only comment to this is that numerous firefighters complained about your grandchildren being at the station in Freeport during the day. I'll grant you that a parent was present but the point is, they don't belong there and it is a huge safety issue.

Well maybe they should talk to the parent and not you. But like many folks they would have someone else carry their water or hide behind their screen names.

Actually, there shouldn't even have been a discussion about a child being in a fire station during the day period! They don't belong there. It's a safety issue!

I have been doing this close to 30 years and have yet to see a child injured in any fire station and have seen trucks roll out of station going on calls with them visiting. Many departments actually let kids climb on the fire truck and spray water from hoses. Obviously they are supervised it ain't a playground.

Bob you're justifying.

Yes, fire departments do allow children to come to the stations under very controlled situations and they are there for short duration's...not the day! That was not the case with your grandchild!

Ok

BTW....don't they have rules in the stations about visiting hours for family?

The good news is the situation has been resolved.

Well bob, I never accused you of it, but knew of the acusation and have been around long enough to have heard it in other discussions. I don't even know where your station is, But as firemen always say, where there is smoke, there is fire! Thanks for clarifing it was a visiting issue. By the they way bob, lots of smoke over the elected officials in this town and the sheiff and BCC in particular. I feel much safer with you always telling us on here its "OK", "there is NO fire in that particular smoke. Move along folks, it's a controlled burn."

Happy Anniversary!

The reasons you give above seem pretty normal issues for a political position. And lacking enforcement of small things maybe because they are dealing with bigger issues? I wouldn't know about who he hires but it seems as if maybe you lost your job with the county to an outsider?

There has to be something personal with you posting constantly negative about the sheriff. Then again maybe you are just negative about everything and the wcso is your obsession?

Did you read the documents that have been posted? If so, I'm interested in your thoughts...

Don't think what is referenced falls into the category of "pretty normal" as you put it...
