another walton county double standard?

[idlewind]

From what I am reading the Sheriff moved into damage control mode and took action. We will see if it is enough to take the heat off. I am willing to bet that if a regular deputy had called the Judge at home to get a signature bond for their son the punishment would have been termination. Apparently from the news reports Chapman has admited to making the call and he gets a week's vacation and a paper demotion.
I do stand corrected about the jail people's role in this and apologize for accusing them, although I am not happy about the county preventing employees from talking to the media. That is a bad policy.

Did Mrs. Comander vote to give the Sheriff/EOC the 3+ Million for the Oil Spill?

Could you please explain this? This is the first I heard of any 3 million being given to anyone. What was it for?

Ditto - all I know of is the unanimous vote (even Brannon showed up for the meeting) months ago giving the Sheriff approval to carry out the plans to protect our beaches and coastal dune lakes. Projected cost wasn't 3 million though.

Well---It is costly to operate a "special" command center from day 1 and wine and dine your office staff (including secretarys and etc) 24 hours a day--this included overtime and etc. It was closed "only" when BP said they would not pay for anything
not authorized by them. Has Mrs. Comander asked "where's the money"? Talking about conflict of interest: Ronnie Bell-employed by C.W. Roberts and paid consultant
of Walton County--also--Bill Chapman's son-in-law. Go Figure!

Why not make him walk the beat. And truly demote him and take his pay

 

[TheZohan]

I wonder if they wine and dine on taxpayer funds

 

[TheZohan]

If it was a conflict of interest then was there any money involved

No money involved

I would say 3 million dollars (if true) is alot of money.
