$75,000 dollars for a song

[beachmouse]

That last bit makes perfect sense to me: middle-aged woman finds her husband in bed with his secretary, gets mad and decides to go hit the beach and spend a whole bunch of money shopping while thinking of what to do next. She meets up with the large local cougar population, goes bar hopping for a while, and decides to open up a small retail shop over by Grayton Beach with her chunk of the divorce settlement ....

Someone tipped me to this little tidbit of information.

It appears that the individual (Russell Carter) that represented the songwriter in this project serves on the Walton County Cultural Arts Association Board of Directors. It appears that Mr. Carter represented the interests of MS. Hoff and is the same individual that received the overnighted $75,000 payment from LKM. The agreement was signed Byron Mr. Carter, and Dawn Moliterno.

What role did LKM play in this project? Was the MOA approved by the TDC attorney? What was the CAA role in the project.

I think you meant Ms. Hoffs (huff?).

Either way this story and the other issues in this county all point to one simple solution = Election 2012. Vote all those in office out, replace with those with ethics and integrity. Oversight here is simply non-existent.

Who is supposed to serve on the TDC committee referenced in past posts? How does one get on this?

We need to shut down the TDC, repeal the bed tax.

Back when I lived on Okaloosa Island, some folks actually managed to get the repeal of the TDC on the ballot because they were very angry about how the convention center was being shoved down everyone's throat despite some very shaky financial projections about its use. The repeal failed, and it's probably good that it did, but it was close enough that it did seem to make that TDC more responsive to local concerns for a good long time.

Well said!

Ok, so who knows how to start this process? I'm in to assist, just don't have the political in's...
