Walton County and City Law Enforcement

almost all...........

These are almost all the reasons I hear from people that have stopped supporting adkinsson and voted early for another candidate.

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.Before you go and split from us, you may want to tour Holmes County because without SoWal that is all you would have.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.

idlewind,

Listen, talk is cheap. Add the sheriff candidates' numbers (according to each individual polling place) for the entire county on Wednesday. You should then see, that the north-end polls will be where the voters decided the sheriff's candidate for the Republican Primary. Adkinson should not even have to travel south of the bridge to win the election. Just wait. We try and take care of our own people up here, idlewind.

How many here in SoWal truly believe that Mr. Adkinson will neglect our area? I for one doubt that will happen.

And please, let's leave the north vs. south thing alone.

And DFSBoy, I think most of us see through the act. You are clearly not an Adkinson supporter with those statements. SoWal voters are more intelligent than you think.

I think he represents the average Adkinson supporter and you Mr. Post are trying what is called damage control because you let one of your stone-age supporters near a computer.Now tell us how ralph is going to win if we don't do what you say.

Johnny Post,

You have absolutely NO intelligence on this matter, as you think. I really do support Adkinson. If you only knew. Facts are facts, however. I support good ole' boy politics. To be honest, its always worked well (in Walton) for me, being about a sixth generation native myself. Right or wrong... So be it. Apparently you are just upset because you are an "Outsider." No worries, though. I hope you will consider voting for Adkinson.

At least you are honest! :funn:

And DeFuniak / NoWal doesn't have the market cornered on the how-many-generations thing. I'm 5th gen as well, and we are training the 6th and 7th generations as we speak...;-)

Excellent Points Made

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!!

I appreciate your comments and opinions. As it was already pointed out to you (it was a hint, a clue) in a previous post, you are hurting your candidate as opposed to helping. Your post is severely slanted to the "North-End, North-End, etc." I can appreciate that you do not want change, not many people "enjoy" change, especially if it means the "balance of power" may be a bit more equal come November 2008.

As for Adkinson surrounding himself with "Originals" how is that productive to the Citizens of the County?

Sure, it may benefit him, but what happens when educated individuals dig up public records and start to really LOOK at some of Adkinson's employees? Originals should be replaced with Qualified (if Originals are Qualified, then great). Qualified officers and proven leaders who will do what is right for the citizens, not the candidate or "the agenda". A quality sheriffs office will be re-elected time and time again. We have not had a quality office for years. This obvious loyalty to Walton County Originals is the first mistake you make in your post. We are all residents and we all love and support OUR County. This site is SoWal, do you think South Walton wants the "O.G.'s"? You don't give your "enemies" clubs to beat you with...but, thaks for the club.

As for the female officer out there banging the drum for "her candidate", it is great she is not affraid of getting fired. WHERE WAS SHE WHEN TWO OF HER FELLOW OFFICERS GOT FIRED FOR BEING PREGNANT? SHE TOO WAS PREGNANT AND GOT LIGHT DUTY, JUST PRIOR TO THE OTHERS BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. It is great to stand for something, its better to stand for something meaningful and with purpose, not something that one stands to gain from.:shock:

Thanks for the post.

I really find this interesting, as a 5 person race for our commission seat should be dominating the conversation. However, the sheriff's race continues to be the big topic. I began this race wanting the incumbent out due to his policies along the beaches and 30-A. I was leaning towards Adkinson until Cooper came in the race. I was intrigued by a SoWal resident being elected to a constitutional office in this county for the first time. But what made up my mind is the sense of entitlement that the Adkinson supporters have, like it is their right to "regain" this office from ralph. Your story about the supporter who said nothing while she recieved light duty and her fellow officers were fired illustrates it. The least we could expect is that she would be loyal to the sheriff who gave her preference over others, but apparently she is on the other side. I do not like those type of people and do not want them in charge of who does/does not go to jail.
