Comments on: Local Politics https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/06/03/local-politics/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:20:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/06/03/local-politics/comment-page-1/#comment-45991 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:20:59 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=9410#comment-45991 Sarah, I knew Ray when he was an honest man. I have no interest in dealing with any of the business as usual crowd in this county ever again.

You want to vote for a Gaetz, that’s your choice. Don’t expect me to go along with it because it isn’t going to happen. We need new people who are connected to our current mess.

The F-35 was going to be based here regardless. To stop it would have required an objection during the BRAC process and it didn’t happen.

If Val-P wants to keep it up, they can be the proud recipients of a sound fence on the border between the town and the base. They won’t like the result, but they don’t get to decide national defense policy.

What has Matt done illegal? Answer – nothing.

Also, its clear that you have not met Matt. He’s really smart. Thats why Ray hired him. Its also why he is representing Okaloosa County to save the F-35. That seems to be going fairly well for him – and well for our community.

Ray worked for Don Gaetz for years which would be the main reason Matt got hired.

The question isn’t whether out local rep gets things done, Ray got a lot of things done. The question is who is likely to benefit?

If voters continue to elect people from the same small group of friends and associates, the friends and associates are the ones who are going to prosper.

Also, the fact that he is a lawyer who cancelled a lease for Jay Odom does not mean that he did anything wrong. This stuff is bogus.

I’ll vote for the person who can make things happen for our area. From what I’ve seen so far, that person is Matt Gaetz.
