It is easy to throw stones at people who are in the arena of life and are trying to serve their fellow man, but I am disappointed to see some of the unfounded allegations against a man who I believe is one of the hardest working men in Walton County.

I am sure that these allegations are nothing more than a smear campaign against an honest, hard working man.

Walton County can be proud of their Sheriff and deputies. I am proud to say that I support the current Sheriff and will see to it that the truth about him and the rest of the Walton County deputies gets out to the public.

will you be offering this wisdom with every post, or can we take your word for it?

We are waiting to hear .....I'd be happy to hear something good...please.....tell us. The auditors are neutral...so are they the ones smearing the sheriff? Who is he going to blame? It's his administration and HIS responsibility...not some poor bookkeeper getting her orders from Ralph. It seems problems from last year's audit were not corrected? Where does the blame lie? Answer: The man we elected (whether we liked it or not) THAT IS HIS JOB......If someone falls down on their job..it is HIS fault...because...that is why he was elected.

Even if he picked up the phone and/or showed up for a meeting..he couldn't explain his way out of his troubles at this point. He's hiding now...under the blanket of "it's a political conspiracy" because he doesn't have any better excuses.

As a citizen and taxpayer in Walton County...I want answers.....You got em'???? Give hem up.

The Sheriff’s Office was also bilked out of $10,316 during a e-mail scheme last June because an employee gave out a password and personal identification number to an account that had about $1.8 million in it at the time of the thefts.

I believe his secretary to be an honorable lady who cares about Walton County.

But IMO, should NOT be privy to passwords/million$ account #s unless she is aware of the most common of email scams. I mean how dense do you have to be to realize that a bank will not EMAIL you for account info. EDIT >>>I am sorry but I have just found that the person responsible for this was the CFO, not the secretary.Sorry for any misunderstanding

unrelated to SGG's post: the clock is ticking, implosion is imminent.

I was just fixing to tell you that you are bordering on slander. Be careful what is being put out on these threads. If you say something, you need to have the facts to back it up.

I can assure you that the Sheriff's secretary is as honest as they come.
