You know you are doing good work and the right thing when the developer-owned “newspaper” continually tries to discredit you, even if it means bashing your spouse.

There are various and assorted threats to file ethics complaints against Commissioner Oren Miller for conversations his wife (a resident and voter in Sumter County) has had with elected officials. They seem to be taking the position that spouses of elected officials waive their right to communicate with elected officials, or to advocate for issues near and dear to their hearts.

Do spouses lose their rights after a successful campaign? Are they going to harass Commissioner Oren Miller straight through his term and into the next, if he chooses to run?

They even tossed in the fine that was paid in 2018. Yes, I missed filing date. It was my fault and as soon as I realized it I sent in the filing and paid the fine. I venture to guess I am not the first person to miss a date.

The real question here is why is the County Administrator and other County Commissioners spending so much time, energy and resources on going after the one Commissioner who has consistently stuck to his pledge to represent the people in the County, and not the Developer? And at what point does this harassment become actionable?
