Recently while working on a volunteer project with a small group of people from my area I learned some very important things about the lead candidate running for County Commissioner in my district.
The Candidate had great ideas.
At the end of each meeting we would take our list of ideas and ask for volunteers to make them happen before we met again a week later.
The Candidate always volunteered to take on one or two tasks.
Not once over the 3 months of planning did the candidate complete even ONE of the items he set out to do.
Two others on the volunteer committee every single time had to pick up and finish his work.
The committe later found out that The Candidate had been trying to sabotage everything they were doing.
Just before the event the two others found out he was taking credit for everything and even a few things that did not happen.
During the event he repeatedly tried to cancle the event after the event had started. Even going as far as fibbing or out right lying and saying he had talked to others naming them and had reached a consensus that we should cancel.
He seemed to think that he was solely in charge and could make unilateral decisions. In doing so he made it okay for people to not finish the event and still be eligible for the grand prize.
He had even convinced the coast guard axillary that he was in charge and park personnel where day two of the event started that he was in charge and they then tried to force us to cancel the last day of a two day event.
Sadly this goes on everywhere.
In a small town or county it is very hard to speak of these truths without someone beating up your kid or starting your house on fire.
You can not even tell others about it without worrying that it will come back and bite you in the butt.
How would you handle such a thing?
I was speaking to a friend today and she was telling me about her neighbor who keeps calling the police every time her husband plays his guitar during the day.
It became such a PEST that the Sheriff himself came to the complainers house with a decibel meter and showed the complainer that everything was legal during the day for night time hours too.
The Sheriff told him to stop calling the police for this.
This man that is running for county commissioner is advocating for property rights and fighting with a large group of people to keep the rights to their river front land. He appears to be doing a good job there but as we have seen locally on other events he is lacking skills and has not completed one task he volunteered for.
I can not endorse this man for dog catcher let alone for a county commissioner.
