Dennis Wise for Sheriff

[idlewind]

This is the same argument that was made questioning D. Griffith's (sp?) qualifications. However, it appears no one seems to care that he was an FHP Trooper for 20+ years and has never supervised anyone in a supervisors capacity. When D. Wise is questioned about it, you jump on him about not having promoted. At least Wise has ambition to write a book and be involved in a police organization.

On another note, I think a Sheriff should want/need the job to support him/herself. I don't want a State Pension Puller supplementing his/her income playing Police for four years.

As for being promoted based on "who you know"... ask the ranking brass in WCSO how they got promoted. Did they take exams/tests? NO. Do they even have qualifications to hold their rank? Some, in my opinion, NO. Who you know does have a lot to do with promotions, especially in Walton County. It helps if you live in Alabama too.

My friend, I believe we are saying the same thing. You are on the money concerning Mr. Griffiths and I think the same could be said for 3-4 other candidates. I partially agree with the pensioner, although using the office for four years to double ones retirement should be a red flag as well.
I understand that no one in our sheriff's office was hired and/or promoted based on any test or other qualifications except longeivity and/or ones relationship with Ralph.:angry:

Don't forget all those who earned rank and lost it...

Glad we agree on this one.

The burden of proof is used only in the court proceedings, and the homeowner will have to produce the required information, such as a survey and deed. A copy could also be obtained from the courthouse....

Interesting how a few months have changed this.
