Idle, Danny Griffith isn't tied to RJ, other than they both came from the highway patrol. I am voting for Mike, because I like him AND he is the Republican candidate.

Ralph's ties to Danny
If you would like to know Ralph's ties to Danny, just follow Danny around and see how many times he meets up with Ralph and goes out on a campaign trail with him. Ralph has had Danny as tight to him over the past few months as he has Clemmons to him over the past 3 years. If you don't believe it just do some investigating of your own. I really like Danny but the biggest problem I see now is just how much influence is Ralph going to have on the way he conducts business. I could care less about him being a Trooper, my problem is that we do not need any influence of Ralph Johnson on the Walton County Sheriff's Office ever again. Danny, if you read this I am truly sorry but I cannot tell anyone that I believe you would make a good Sheriff again. Another problem I have is the way all of the Administrative staff under Ralph has conducted business over the past few years. They have ruined I do not know how many good deputies. I do not agree with the way they treat their people and they should have quit before screwing their people. If you say that no one has anything to worry about and that they will all keep their positions then you are no different than Ralph. We need new blood in the administration at the Sheriff's Office. The days of whether or not you hunt and fish or own a boat to take your Captain out on should not influence your career path. It should be based on ability and experience to fill those positions. Jason Adkinson and Stan Sunday screwed people for years while under Ralph both career wise, emotionally and physically. How many times have they shown their buts in public while intoxicated and then fired, demoted or written up their subordinates for the same conduct. How many people got fired for having sexual relationships with married members of the department and then Captains and Lieutenants get away with nothing. I can understand if you lead by example and allow them to get away with it. I mean look at the top cop---the Cook. A vote for Danny is now a vote to continue Ralph's design of poor fiscal management and continued dictatorship. Atleast Mike Adkinson has the support of his people. How about Ralph?

I know Danny very well and I know for a fact that he has no "ties" to Ralph nor has he been "tight" with Ralph for the last three months. Danny, until just recently, was in a race against Ralph, so to say they have been running around on the campaign trail together is a bit much. If Mike Adkinson is your candidate, that is fine - everyone is entitled to their opinion. But don't start rumors about Danny's connections, when you have no idea what you are talking about. Danny is one of the kindest individuals there is. And if he has been seen talking to Ralph (GASP), I can guarantee it is friendly chatter, not business meetings to "learn the ropes." Danny talks to everyone and is friendly with everyone. Give Danny a little bit of credit here - I am sure he agrees that there are many problems with the Sherrif's Dept, just like the majority of people in Walton County. So I doubt he would be getting (or want) business lessons from Ralph. I sincerely hope that the majority of the people on this board will ignore your absurd post. If you don't want to vote for Danny, so be it - But don't start mess like this just to support your candidate.

Lawdog Sunday or who ever you are
You are obviously one of the ones wishing to keep a top position for doing nothing. People ignore this idiot and do your own investigation. This is no simple conspiracy theory it is FACT. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't post it. I too have been a long time friend of Danny's and still consider him a friend but as a voter I have an obligation to pick the most qualified man to do the job. This was not meant to advocate for Adkinson but to establish the link between the other two. Trust me, there is a definite link. Follow them around and see for yourself.

Since I don't agree with you, I am an "idiot"? Geez!
I certainly don't want to keep a sherrif that does nothing - but that's not going to happen b/c Ralph is not one of the choices. I encourage others to do their own "investigations" before taking this rumor at face value. Like I said before....if Danny is not your candidate, that's okay. But don't put stuff like this in a public forum unless you have the hard evidence to back it up.

Well, la de da, sounds like the mud slingin has begun, unless you all are showing the hidden agenda in writting or have the dirty laundry in a basket and can show me, it is speculation on both MA and DG. First let me throw my 2 cents in, not a fan of MA believe long time relations concern me, I don't know if he is his own man or someone elses. Don't know DG either, but I know someone who has known him all his life and vouches for him "honest as the day is long". He also said he has no personal issue with MA and is undecided in the race. Whatever my issues are I am still undecided, but before you accuse or drag someone through the mud, my suggestion is put up the proof or shut up.

Patriot, Sounds as though you have worked there for a while, why did you not step up for what was right then, instead of what you are doing now. Obviously, you could have moved on in protest, filed a complaint, whatever. Maybe you could have been the guy to start change when all this stuff you allege was going on in WCSO.

I'm sorry Idlewind, I've heard stories about MA and his relatives, but as much as that concerns me, if i decided to vote for him I would be taking as much a chance on him as I would be on DG. It would also be because I made the decision on who to vote for, not the mudslinging going on here. Patriot, maybe should have stood up against the wrong before instead of being silent until now.
