I'm not sure this quy should be elected. His slogan is "Because We're Not Mayberry Anymore". Well, Panama City has been my home for 40 years, and I can tell you that we were not Mayberry then, and we certainly are not Mayberry now.

If Steven George thinks we are, then he is living in the twilight zone. In fact, I wish I could find Mayberry. I'd move there.]]> 135@http://bestofbaycounty.com The Funniest Political Slogan - How Sad 2008-10-27T15:20:37-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=105#134
The government is going to buy all the bad loans made by financial institutions, and saddle us, the tax payer with the burden.  The bailout will allow the financial institutions to once again loan money to individuals and companies, good or bad.

None of this assistance will go to help the troubled homeowner, who will lose their homes.  The best thing that could happen is for the brave members of the House of Representatives to continue stand their ground on the issue and vote no.  Let the financial industry shake itself out.]]> 134@http://bestofbaycounty.com Bailout or Rescue Plan 2008-09-30T23:14:22-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=104#133
What should take and happen in 30 days will probably take closer to 90 days as the attorneys draft and implement the process.  Of course, with the court challenges, it will take longer.

To the citizens who voted to dissolve, you did the right thing.  Now, if the rest of the incorporated areas in the county would follow suit.]]> 133@http://bestofbaycounty.com Cedar Grove Dissolution 2008-09-30T23:07:49-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=103#132
Yes, it may take 10 years for us to see results, but it will be worth it.

But, what does the school board do in it's infinite wisdom? It exempts 3 of the schools in the county.

What are we paying these people for? They come out with zero tolerance rules for some offenses, without exemptions, even over the silliest of infractions, then turn around and exempt schools and students from rules that should not even have been put into place in the first place.

As far as leaving campus for lunch, that should be up to the parents as to whether or not to allow their child the freedom to go. Not the "nanny" school board.]]> 131@http://bestofbaycounty.com Closed Campuses? What A Joke 2008-04-24T12:04:30-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=101#130
Both of these newly elected officials are in favor of bringing the town of Cedar Grove to an end, which is in line what the citizens of Cedar Grove voted for last year. To date, no action on this measure has been taken, but with the balance power changing, perhaps the end is finally in sight.

Once again, congratulations.]]> 130@http://bestofbaycounty.com The End For Cedar Grove? 2008-04-23T10:57:37-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=100#129
“You can’t get a phone call that you are having a heart attack, or your house is on fire, or you are being robbed, and you get a recording that says you call is very important to us, and the first available fireman will come to you house as soon as he can.”

Who does he think he is kidding? Government services were sufficent 3 years ago before those big, bloated budgets.

It's sad how you have been treated by our state officials. You deserved better, and all I can say, is I hope with all my heart that what goes around, comes around for those that have done a hatchet job on you.

God speed and good luck in your new position.

Our local officials, are at least, doing the right thing. I do though, think they should stand up for us and not allow the state to dictate our selection. Who knows our area better than us? Certainly not a state panel, or an out of touch governor with a personal agenda.

Guys, stand up and do not allow anyone else to take this office. Do whatever you have to do, file a lawsuit, etc. to stop these guys in their tracks. You'd be doing everyone in the state a favor.]]> 127@http://bestofbaycounty.com The Right Thing (Dr. Seibert) 2007-12-18T11:20:24-04:00 http://bestofbaycounty.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=97#126
The were offered and received a 7.5 million dollar settlement in lieu of undergoing the long civil suit process, and they had their day in court. I'm sorry that the Anderson family didn't get the verdict they wanted, but the State put on the best prosecution they could.

For the State government, or the Federal government for that matter, to persue their own investigation or charges is uncalled for. I agree with Waylon, we as a community, should grow a set, and collectively say, "Enough is Enough".

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Martin was just at the wrong place, at the wrong time, but it was his actions, and his family, that placed him there.

Let's let Martin Lee Anderson "Rest In Peace".]]> 126@http://bestofbaycounty.com Martin Lee Anderson 2007-11-15T11:40:22-04:00
