Opinions vary about me being a good umpire or referee, but I love doing it anyways. Doing football and middle school basketball right now. As for running, been there, done that and won north of the bay, unfortunately I couldn't draw flies south of the bay.Since my district does not come up this next time I will be an observer this go around.
Or "rent a lot".

graytonbeachguy...just to be clear about what I said in regard to Catalano, "he washed his hands of a hiring because of pressure from Meadows to hire and unqualified person"... no where did I say he wasn't C. Jones pet...anyone here with a lick of sense knows he sure the hell is. My comment meant that he couldn't stop/interfere with the hiring of Meadows choice (even though he was the "supervisor") and yes I did say he probably went whining to C. Jones about how Meadows was trying to hire or did hire someone with little or no experience even though he was hired in basically the same way because of his association with C. Jones. I never implied or inferred that he was acting at the direction of Meadows...in fact I implied just the opposite but rather than an implication I'll come right out and say it. C. Jones hates Meadows and vice versa. Meadows tried to (or did) hire someone and Catalano got his shorts twisted over it and I'll bet my last dollar he went to C. Jones. That hiring event which Meadows was a participant in, was part of the Grand Jury investigation according to the documents YOU posted here!!
I also said I had been told Catalano testified before the Grand Jury. I do in fact believe that. I also believe the fact that his own questionable "job" with the planning department was not an issue that the Grand Jury was tasked with looking into which is why I have repeatedly said throughout this thread that the Grand Jury investigation DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH!! IMO IT DID NOT!!
I also said that I was shocked to learn learn that C. Jones and her husband are quite the bosom buddies with the State Attorney, Bill Eddins...and if you think for one minute that people in Walton County don''t see this as a witch hunt perpetrated (at least in part) by C. Jones to get at Meadows then you have either been in the sun too long, have drunk 1 too many margaritas at the Red Bar or at the very least, you should be adjusting the antenna on your own tin foil helmet.
I may not be as involved as I once was in the politics of this County but I can assure you of this...it has not changed much in the 30 years I've lived here. Some of the names have changed as have some job titles but we still have the same good ole boy network commandeering the dirty politics this County has long been accused of!
And that my dear is a fact you can bank on, not a conspiracy theory.

Neither of which means much in the over all scheme of things, unless your best friend is the State Attorney!!

Mr. Don Riley and Mr. Art Miller had a very well written letters to the editor in today's DFS Herald. I don't have them in digital format to publish here but I would encourage you to buy a paper and read them.

I really cannot do justice to their compositions but their premise was that the GJ was a political setup and Meadows and L. Jones did not deserve the treatment they received. They believe that far more could have been brought out had the desire been there.

Isn't that what 3 or 4 of us have been saying since graytonbeachguy posted the GJ report here?
Say it ain't so Mr. Glidewell!! Most of us see this for what it really was....a witch hunt that didn't go far enough!
