Will be an interesting election. Wonder if Wiley will accept donations for all of the developers cronies?

Don is much more aligned with the values of most of us here in Sumter County.

I moved down after Oren had been elected, and roughly around the time he was indicted. Wiley seems like a reasonable person. I have no "dog" in this fight (pardon the pun). For me the real heartburn is that I thought Wiley actually won re-election. Am I wrong on this? I know he was Selected to fill the rest of Oren's term, but I thought he won an election on his own to fill the next term. If he were removed during the Appointed term, I can see no foul in reinstating Oren. But, to remove a duly elected official, is beyond the pale for me. If I am wrong, I stand corrected and will feel better. If I am correct, I am upset that a governor would overturn the People's will. What remedy for one individual is so important to dismiss the will of many. Since the next election is in August, why do this at all. If the government screws up a prosecution of a government official, why make the people's will moot. |

Was not directed at you...
Your post is relevant but remember...the Governor giveth and taketh. He had the right to do both (appoint Don initially....return Oren). Credit Don for accepting the Gov decision and not playing into conspiracy or other theories. Thats a character move and will serve him well in August. Again, its not the perfect situation but a wrong was righted IMO |

It's tough to say what is "fair" and what is the "will of the people." Reinstating Miller may not be the most desirable action to take but it might be what is legally required. Fortunately, the "will of the people" question will likely be answered in August.

Remember Don Burgess, Al Butler and Steve Printz, were ousted after they angered constituents by supporting a 24 percent tax-rate increase in 2019. That’s why we got Search and Miller elected as commissioners, to lesson the typical taxpayer’s burdens. Pro developer commissioners will only place more burdens on residents and remove pressures from the developer. I look at this as a chance to give the people more power and remove the “keep on developing “ at taxpayer’s expense influence we had in the county.

It was making the existing animal shelter no-kill, which his wife had lobbied for for years, to the disgruntlement of the then commissioners.
