Nothing changes– if Powell is elected it will only be a short time before all of the comments will start about he and the S.O. being a bunch of “do nothings”. Can some one share with us what Morgan should or could have done with the information?

Everyone who gets arrested says they are not guilty. Typical criminal. Or in this case, they are both criminals. With badges.

Informed voter, you fail to tell everyone that David Morgan had to go to the same type of hearing in Tallahassee. Now why would you leave that out of your post? it’s kind of like reporting your opponents mistakes when you made the same……Powell has my vote!

Again for those that ask questions about why we would want a criminal as sheriff I say to you..Mr.Powell has not been convicted of anything yet, if he ever is. An incompetent sheriff who makes ridiculous remarks like “a real humdinger” about a horrendous murder or a man who has been accused of a crime because he was getting to close to Morgan. Morgan is a man who was introduced to my child as the “big dog” in Escambia county and instead of taking the time to talk to perhaps a future LEO he snubbed him to see if a hat he had ordered had come in. Great community relations Sheriff Morgan. Thats the man you want as Sheriff for another 4 yrs? Appears two faced and I voted for him 4 years ago. Not this time around

With all this nonsense, finger pointing and dishonesty…I wouldn’t vote for either one of these clowns. Elections, on any level, are a joke these days. No matter who you vote in – they are there for themselves and not the public anymore. It sickens me. I am a registered voter but after watching what is going on in the White House and elsewhere, I give up. And before anyone starts bashing me with “If you don’t vote, you shouldn’t have an opinion” …..well here is my response to that “When there is someone running that is worthy of my vote-then I WILL vote”. In the past 3 years, plus ……. our country has been turned into a joke. If I could afford to, I would pack up my entire family and move to another country. I am ashamed to live in this country anymore, and I’m not alone.
People who have never voted in their lives – voted for Obama just because of the color of his skin. So, this is how we want to choose our President? And other elected officials? Like I said “I am ashamed”. This is absurd!!! I give up!

Powell has this indictment from the Grand Jury, but that is not all. Powell also has too be in Tallahasse on August the 14th at 1:30 pm to answer to the Ethics Commission on ethic charges that they found probale cause on. Powell claimed that it was dismissed but he lied again. Ethics charges and an indictment sure are great qualities for a candidate for sheriff, NOT!!!!!! If you support Powell that is your choice, but the old proverb is birds of a feather flock together.

So the defense is, “There was no criminal intent, I’m just incompetent with money.”

Let’s let him have a whack at running the sheriffs department multimillion dollar budget.

Ms Braswell I will support Mr Powell because he is not guilty in my eyes no more than mr morgan who had the same election rules violations. He has not had his day in court and dont get me started on morgans issues that he has neglected to bring forth. You seem to have Mr Powell guilty before he is adjudicated guilty. If he is guilty why not morgan as well since he had the same election violations. Both made book keeping errors which are common during campaigns. Why not focus on the issues : high crime rate , shootings , drugs , thefts and not to mention the fear of the Deputies working under a dictatorship and afraid to do their jobs. You choose ; I have and so has many of this counties educated Citizens ; morgan has to go.
