Walton County and City Law Enforcement

New posts
Gotta love a sarcasm laced post like that. Nice job DFSboy.

Question though, I think we all have heard abou the whole who Mike Adkinson's uncle is, but where do you come up with the conclusions he is related to McMillian or Brannon?

I don't truly care if he is related to McMillian, but it is interesting if he is related to Comm. Brannon. Not sure it really matters, but it is interesting.

On the other hand, I have to question the credibility of a post clearly intended to be negative.


Johnny Post,

Negative? I think not. I am clearly advocating the homegrown voters, like me, to consider voting for Mike Adkinson. I would guess your're a "Snowbird, "Yankee, or otherwise "Outsider", however. Such Walton population, apparently like you, caused Sheriff Johnson to be re-elected the last time. Not us homegrown voters.

Really, Go Adkinson!!
 
DFS Boy:

10 years ago the population of Walton County was about 25,000. Today the population is about 55,000. Therefore, do you really think it is smart to P*** off over half the voters by calling them "outsiders" and yankees?" If I had not already made up my mind who to vote for, you would have just convinced me.

S/ the outsider
 
Wow, I too hear he takes care of the locals... Is he related to the DOT Officer who hangs out up there? How bout that WCSO female officer who keeps singing his praises? Who is he Not related to?

As for Yankee, Snowbird or Outsiders, that's a bit harsh. Do not forget where all the money and revenue comes from.

The Wather,

Most likely the "DOT Officer" is a homegrown Walton native who is preparing for a job under soon-to-be Walton County Sheriff Adkinson (hopeful). I don't blame the Officer or Adkinson for their apparent close relationship. Adkinson should take care of the "Originals' (locals)" first and foremost, as I believe he does. If I was elected to such a position I, too, would surround myself people with people that had significant family ties to Walton, thereby being worth a few votes come next election. Just plain common sense politics.

But I can't understand whose side you?re on. And, as far at the "WCSO female officer," well at least she's not scared of getting fired, uh?

If the "Yankees, "Snowbirds, or otherwise "Outsiders" of Walton County re-elect Sheriff Johnson, maybe we homegrown natives (mostly in the north-end) should let them have that south-end, and their "money and revenue?" Two separate counties? Moreover, this is probably why Adkinson has seemingly concentrated his great campaign on the north-end. Hopefully the north-end will take back the elections in this county.

Go Adkinson!!

Sounds like you have your new position staked out as well. Will you bring your boot shining station or will the taxpayers be required to purchase it?:funn::funn::funn:My friend, you represent the worst of all Waltonians, those who wish to pit north v. south and wish to take their marbles and go home if they do not get their way.:angry: While the south is most often accussed of such behavior, it is nice to know that some in the north who feel the same way are coming out of the closet.:yikes:Before you go and split from us, you may want to tour Holmes County because without SoWal that is all you would have.:floor:I think our first constitutional officer from SoWal (Mr. Cooper) will prove to do a good job and convince everyone that more county officials should call the world's most beautiful beaches home.:clap::clap::clap:

According to DFSboy, it seems as though Adkinson is far better suited to the job he ALREADY Holds; DFSboy and his ilk seem to relish denigrating "snowbirds, yankees, outsiders, etc." who provide a tax base for everything he and his ilk enjoy of late. If "north" Walton is his descriptive choice, so be it. But we need a Sheriff who fairly represents the whole of Walton County; short of that we need "incorporation" of "south" Walton or a split into two counties. [I would suspect even Adkinson is wincing at DFSboy's comments at this point...] { Aside to DFSboy: your 'camo' is showing and it's not flattering in this case....}.
 
My parents first home was in Woodlawn in 1972. My mother wanted to join the country club in DFS, but was refused because she was a yankee (New Jersey). She found a house in sowal and joined the club on the beach. Seems that mentality is still the same up north and it is a shame. You run the yankees and outsiders out of your part of the county but take their money. I'm all for division in that case.
 
Please, lets not discuss incorporparation of SoWal as that would burden those who complain about taxes and the inefficiency of BIG GOVERNMENT. This government has done alright for SoWal, roads are getting paved, in the south end emergency services are excellent, the North end emergency services are going through some growing pains but will catch up, government services for the most part are pretty good with a few exceptions, but if we place people with their own agendas, in the office then we will all suffer. Before we say we are paying to much, I remeber what it was like 16 years ago and for the most part it was due to some folks from NoWal and SoWal that brought us here, quality of life and services have improved.

I voted early for Cooper, Braunstein, L Jones, Davis, Wilkerson, Anderson.
