Upcoming Elections

[scooterbug44]

Been there done that...once. That's enough.

Seriously!

Here's my voting criteria (note party affiliation is not on here):

1) Have you paid your taxes and properly disclosed/reported your financial info and contributors as required. You want to direct my tax dollars and decide on rules & enforcement, I better not see your name on a tax certificate list or know of your crimes/misdeeds/who is contributing to you multiple times through their employees and different organizations. You make the rules, you better follow them in both the letter and spirit.

2) Are you engaged in a smear campaign. I want action and leadership from someone with the cojones to stand up for their opinions and constituents, not just whine, blame others, and busy themselves with partisan crap. And if I am undecided or it's close, those automated calls or nasty mailings WILL lose my vote.

3) Are you consistent in your stated positions/votes or do you hedge, vote your campaign contributions/party politics over local needs. I'll vote for someone who takes stands (even if some I disagree with) over an opportunistic flip-flopper or panderer or a politician someone owns.

4) Are you discussing important topics or are you using minor issues to inflame and sway voters. The sheet has hit the fan and more is airborne and headed towards it. I need serious candidates to deal with those serious issues.

5) Can you work with others and compromise to make sure the end result is what is best for whom you represent (that would be the voters BTW, not your party or biggest contributors).

6) Are you enriching yourself/your family/your business at my expense and nickel and diming us for benefits and perks while the taxpayers lose services and jobs. I know what you make, I know what others make, and I know whose job I find more valuable. I don't mind paying for your salary and benefits like health care, but that's pretty much it - especially when others are hurting so remember taxpayer eyes are watching you!

7) Do you make my skin crawl or make me wonder if I left my purse unattended or what you haven't been caught doing. (Logic only goes so far and then intuition kicks in. ;-)).

I'm glad to hear you are voting for Sara. You even listed all the things she is against. I always knew you were a smart person.

Well, yes, but that wasn't exactly a hard choice. Anyone who votes for one of the other candidates in that race didn't do a lick of research IMO.

Just returned from early voting. Literally 5 minutes from walking in the door to walking out. And as always, friendly, helpful, and competent staff from the elections office! Actually half of my time was spent in pleasant small talk- it was that low-stress.

Thanks SB44. Since I am a property owner who can't vote do to residency requirements, I would be glad to share my choices for those who want to represent me. ;-)

So I guess you want to vote both in South Carolina and Florida ?

No doubt that politics are very similar in both except that in SC the current political drama is on the state level on the Democratic side. Actually, I already have a group that I advise so I do get to have a little say in who manages my ad valoreum taxes. I was just offering to help out if anyone needed assistance due to my history and knowledge of the local politics. I have no doubt that you are not one of those that need any assistance.

No - I keep a hand on the pulse pretty effectively.

You have a contract for professional services with the Walton County Tourist Development Council and am quite sure that you have provided a service in exchange for payment of around $9,000 per month.

The financial affairs at the TDC in the past speak for themselves and will be detailed when the forensic audit is complete and released.
