Election complaint filed against Sheriff

[WCcitizens]

Whatever!!

I guess everyone can read through the BS from Captain Ferris at the WCSO.....of course Ralph is not going to personally ask his employees to sign one of his petitons on duty. He'll have a few under him that will do his dirty work so it doesn't directly link back to him. I just feel sorry for the employees that stuck their neck for him to get these petitions signed on duty or handed them out, on second thought....no I don't! They knew what they were doing and they deserve everything that's coming down the line. It's just a shame that when the investigation starts and employees are placed under oath to answer questions, oh Ralph is going to deny everything and leave the others dangling by their toe nails. What a shame! There's an old saying from Tennessee where I'm from "What doesn't come out in the wash....will come out in the rinse!" So get ready employees of WCSO Ralph is getting ready to hang you out to dry. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

The supervisor or elections said Ralph came on the office and asked to have two names removed from the petition and he wanted to pencil in two others. The SOE wouldn't let him do it, according to the report in the NorthWest Florida Daily News. I think Ralph may be worried those two names might get him in trouble. I wonder what names they are?

Having worked for 8 years and gone thru 2 elections at a S.O. just to the west of us, I can tell you that there is a lot of butt kissing going on by employees during election time. All of the fat cats in the department do everything they can to feather their nest because they know that with a new sheriff usually comes a totally new administration. It is not uncommon for middle managers to do those kinds of things to insure their sheriff is re-elected.

And on the same thought...
My mother was a supervisor for years under in Buddy Brackin's administration. Each election year all of the supervisors were encouraged to give a hefty donation to his re-election fund. It happened every year at a really nice Christmas party hosted at his house. One of the most uncomfortable events you'd ever want to go to.

WCSD employees have a hard time KEEPING their jobs with the current administration. IMO, they want to see Ralph go. The majority anyway.

At least some information is in the news before the election, rather than after. Once they are elected, not much you can do about it. Election fraud, etc. is a long process. Ruling boards and committees meet infrequently and many charges are not made public beforehand, etc. Most convictions will not be concluded until after the election.

This is so reminiscent of when I was growing up in Tallahassee. It was far worse though. The Sheriff that was up for re-election was so flagrant about not caring that he had one of his assistants put election bumper stickers on every single patrol car. They got carried away though and put them on the undercover and unmarked cars too. Needless to say the illegal element in Leon County loved it for weeks until they realized what had been done. :funn:
