Investigation Underway



The thing about rules is that they have to be followed.  And laws regulating official communications from government entities and official documentation must be followed.  And finally, rules, regulations, and laws that are in place concerning elections communications and required disclaimers have to be followed.

Signs of political candidates, legally placed, cannot be touched or moved or damaged.  That's against the law.

Everyone knows that often when candidates and their campaigns are desperately flailing and not gaining traction---such candidates and their supporters do things they shouldn't.

Unfortunately, and it is sad to say, this has been and continues to occur in the nasty, despicable campaign by one candidate in the District 1 County Commission Race.  

Now, multiple citizens have reported this misconduct and potential violations to local officials including the SOE and the ECSO.

And an investigation is underway locally.

Sad that such histrionics must be employed.  Regardless, rules have to be followed and the law respected--otherwise the whole system breaks down.  So I applaud the citizens who have reported these issues which have now led to the initiation of an investigation.

More to come....

Cody, people have been arrested for vandalizing and removing political signs. They are *property* protected by law. In 2018, one of the Keystone Cop Alabama "operatives" Doug Underhill employed to stake out our house and the houses of others associated with the McMillan campaign got caught removing a sign downtown and was arrested by the PPD. And apparently you missed that a member of that wreck of an REC in Santa Rosa is making a court appearance on all the Sam Parker signs he stole.

In addition, Stroberger has been *flagrantly* flaunting campaign laws by not putting required disclaimers and information on the ridiculous texts he is sending out. Even that phone tax document that his campaign cooked up is in violation. Stroberger apparently believes that if you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin. He's one of the dirtiest campaigners I've seen in Escambia, and an even bigger liar than Underhill.
