Come on now gals and guys, if you folks are sincere, then you would not MIX religion and politics. I was taught this at a very young age by my father and he is a very wise man. I vote for the person that I feel like can accomplish the job. It's amazing to me that a lot of folks have a lot of ideas and strong opinions, DON'T EVEN VOTE.

It's easy to "talk the talk", but if you don't "walk the walk", then what is the point? TheCloser

From Letters to the Editor, I think this says it all ..TheCloser

Dear editor:

I would like to point out to everyone in Walker County that on Tuesday, August 5, an important event is about to take place. There is a runoff election for the office of the clerk of the Walker County Superior Court. There was a low turnout for the primary and the runoff is expected to be even less. Many families in Walker County have sacrificed loved ones in the service of this country to provide us that right. Voting is a privilege and a duty that we should take seriously.

I worked in that office for 36 years starting right out of high school, first for Mr. Harold Clements and then for the incumbent. I had been chief deputy clerk for many years and when I left the office in June of 2006 my pay rate was $18.12 an hour. I have known Debbie for over 30 years. She has worked with me and spent a lot of time in the clerk’s office. I always found her to be friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I think Debbie is well-qualified and it is my belief that she would bring substantial energy and beneficial changes. She has the desire and she understands fully the daily functions of the office so she is capable of bringing it up to better standards quickly and efficiently. Knowing Debbie’s personality as I do, I am sure she will make the clerk’s office a more efficient, updated, professional and pleasant place to work and do business with. I know she will treat the public as well as the employees with dignity and respect and provide the best service possible. I urge all my friends as well as the citizens of Walker County to join with me in voting in the runoff election August 5.

Clearvision... Shame on you. I don't mind the Clerk of Court making more per year than 30 Governors in the United States, but I would like to think we are getting something more for our money.

VocalWhenNecessary. Thanks for your comments. I do have first hand information. I witnessed an incident with "MY OWN EYES" and Mr. McDaniel and his assistant (or whatever) was oblivuous as to my presence. But I am only one person. Who are the "right" people to contact? I'm willing to do whatever it takes. The Closer

Vocalwhennecessary.... As I have said numerous times, I don't get involved in people's personal lives either; however,when you are in that position, you should conduct yourself in a professional manner. Mr. McDaniel is not doing so. Can you enlighten me as to what HE IS DOING? I'm confused. I go to the courthouse on a daily basis and noone in the main office knows squat except for one or two employees. As I have said in the past, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. If you are being paid the salary that Mr. McDaniel is making, then regardless of his age, if he wants to hold on
to this position, then needs to get off his tail, take care if his employees, and bring that office up to date. The office is being operated the same as it was 20 years ago. I know this for a fact because I have been dealing with that office for 25 years. What do you think?

Vocalwhennecessary... What do you mean that "Mr. Daniel is well connected"? With the public or his personal assistant?

Vocalwhennecessary. Apparently, you never have any dealings with the Walker County Clerk's Office; otherwise, you would have never made such a ridiculous statement. TheCloser
