Upcoming General Election

     The general election is November 05th. If you are trying to figure out who will be on the local ballot, all you have to do is look at the primary winners. No Democrat or minor party candidate filed to run against any of the Republican primary winners as their filing window just closed. The primary winners will be your elected officials. The recorder, who was appointed to replace Penny Titus, was not elected in the primary but will be on the general ballot unopposed. Also, this list does NOT include school board seats. Nor does it include precinct committeemen or state delegates as those races are determined in the primary and are over. As we get closer to November 05th. I will obtain a sample ballot and post it on my Facebook page, so you know what things look like before going to the polls. The goal was a Republican sweep for the county, and we got one. Here's hoping for another sweep in 2026 when the Assessor, Auditor, Superior Court Judge, one Commissioner, Prosecutor, and Sheriff, as well as Flora Town Council seats, are all on the ballot. If you need any information on these upcoming seats, reach out and let me know and I'll try and help.

Here are your winners for 2024:


Surveyor: Robert W. Gross

Clerk: Sharon Milburn

County Council at Large: Cody Martin, Angie Brown, and Sheri Johnson

Commissioners: Scott Ayres and Bill Brown

Circuit Court Judge: Shane Evans

Coroner: Kristin Enoch

Recorder: Kathryn O'Farrell

Bad Leadership: One Bad Decision Leads to More Bad Decisions.

            We are all familiar with the Nate Lamar situation over the last month.  To recap, Nate Lamar was brought in as Chief of Police by Anita Werling at Kamron Yates' request to lead his department. Lamar was allowed to work three or four days in his position prior to resigning.  The mayor did nothing.  Lamar should have been fired five minutes after this became public.  After all, he lied in court. The chief works at the pleasure of the mayor.  That person can be hired and fired by the sitting mayor, in other words.  Don't let anyone tell you any different.  If a mayor tells you that they cannot fire or hire a chief of police they are either massively incompetent and don't know their job or they are a flat out liar.  Either one shows a lack of integrity.        After Yates appointed Lamar to continue as the chief of police some openings occurred in the department with officers leaving f...

Brady-Giglio, What You Need to Know.

      With recent events happening in our city and around the area a new term to most of us has been Brady-Giglio.  What is it and why is it important?        Both terms stem from court cases.  Brady v. Maryland  and Giglio v. United States.         In the Brady case the Supreme Court ruled that any information or evidence that the prosecuting attorney knows when he is dealing with a case MUST be turned over to the defense attorney(s).  It zeroed in, but does not limit that information to, exculpating the accused or possibly reducing a penalty.  (Remember the movie, My Cousin Vinny?)       Giglio, on the other had, deals with the credibility of a witness, namely a law enforcement officer.  The list includes law enforcement officers who have credibility problems.  They might include misuse of force, criminal convictions, dishonesty, or mishandling of evidence, etc.  Off...
