Our Generation Ad

Something tells me that if The Governor was involved in local politics, he wouldn't be shy about it.
Next time I see him I'll ask.

I think you'll get the same answer people asking questions about Our Generation get when asked who the concerned citizens are....something to the effect of roads, bridges and infrastructure or you will be met with stony silence and looked at like you've lost your mind because you expect a genuine answer that isn't loaded with political doublespeak and/or other BS..

This really isn't about whether or not you like the Bills or not. Nor does it matter whether you support any other candidate or not.

You're right Danny! Dishonesty to get yourself elected is ugly and misleading regardless of what their names are...these 2 just happen to be named "Bill".

By the way...he hasn't been shy about publicly endorsing Ms. Skipper. I'll grant you that it doesn't appear he contributed anything financially but don't delude yourself that a public endorsement is not "involvement".

He has contributed to Ms Nipper monetarily as is his right. He is a very popular man so either is a big help.

I had forgotten about Nipper so, no argument there. It also speaks volumes to his involvement in Walton County politics.

I have a confession to make.

Several nights ago I sent a message to Rhonda Skipper (telling her I saw that she had liked the page) voicing my concern about Our Generation's FB page that myself and many others believe is a PAC, saying that they are NOT from Walton County (albeit there many well be some local involvement) and that it just isn't sitting right with folks that they have spent an enormous amount of money on ads supporting certain Candidates and that according to at least one of them (by his own admission) he has no idea where these gifts were coming from and that no one seems to know ANY locals connected to it.

I also expressed that I felt it was a shady group at best and asked her what she knew about them. Ms. Skipper asked me to wait so she could go look and came back a couple minutes later and said that when she originally liked the page she wasn't aware of what it was about or anything about the group, that the flag image got her attention and she thought nothing of liking the page. Anyone who knows Rhonda Skipper knows she is all about the flag and literally drapes herself in red, white and blue.

I also said that it looked sketchy to be associated with a group if she knew nothing about them which she admitted was true but said she had not had the time to really sit down and look at it closer. She thanked me for bringing my concerns to her, said she should pay closer attention and promptly unliked the page. I would have supported her regardless because she has done a GREAT job as tax collector and will continue to do so going forward.

Thank you Ms. Skipper for listening to my concerns and for dissociating yourself from what many believe is just a downright shady group! I recognize that you are just as free as any of us to support whomever or whatever group you choose and while it wasn't a deal breaker for me to vote for you regardless, it could have become an issue with your opposition to be used against you in Aug. Best of luck to you!

My hunch is the 1% who has bought a lot of property here recently has decided to flex their dollars.

While the residents are busy worried about parking and hotels, and wrenching control from NoWal, the goose is being gutted, cleaned and cooked.

Say goodbye to public beaches.

I've said for a loooooooong time on this board there was a movement afoot from folks in SoWal (not all, but many) to privatize the beaches. I was pretty much laughed at and ridiculed for it.

I have also said I suspected that I many of the folks who joined the visioning group on FB and allowed "members only" were a part of that movement.

Whether you agree with these men or not is not the issue. This sort of half-truth filled attack is unproductive and unfair. Like these guys or not, both of them have served the public honorably for many years and don't deserve this. If you disagree with them on the issues fine, but attack them on the issues alone.

I'm in disagreement with you Danny, these men deserved to have the truth told on them. Bill Chapman was raised under the crooked Quinn days and was his yes man. If he cheated on standards and though his family was above "regular" procedures everybody else follows, that is the exact problem Walton county faces today. Don't follow the rules and look the other way for certain people. That ad gets to the heart of the matter, INTEGRITY.

As for Imfeld, it would have been better if it had pointed out not only the 600k he didn't collect, but the numerous letters of credit and construction bonds that he failed to brief the BCC on for years that expired before compliance and left the BCC and taxpayers stuck with millions in problems the developers and bonds should have paid for. He has simply took no action on all the out of compliance neighborhoods and lawsuits because most can be traced back to the letters of credit and bonds he let expire. He needs to go...recycled garbage. I am thankful for this PAC combating this local dirty money.
