According to the Hernando Today, Commissioner Jim Adkins will not be attending the inaugural meeting if the economic and development standing committee next week. He has decided to lobby on behalf of the Hernando County Farm Bureau in Tallahassee instead of attending to his local duties as county commissioner. He said that he will be representing small business and taxpayer concerns while in Tallahassee. When did the Hernando County Commission vote to send Adkins to speak on their behalf, or on behalf of the taxpayers, as a lobbyist for the Farm Bureau?
Adkins apparently joked with the reporter who wrote the story, saying that taxpayers would get more "bang for their buck" with him going to Tallahassee. What "bang" would that be Mr. Adkins, the "personal bang" of using local taxpayers money for your salary while you promote the interests of the Farm Bureau? The Farm Bureau can surely do without his participation since it has a board that includes 13 members.
It would seem a little more fiscally prudent for Adkins to attend the economic and development standing committee meeting next week instead of gallivanting off to Tallahassee.

Your sour grapes are amazing. It must really hurt that he is a County Commissioner and you will always be a wannabe!!!!
Frankly no, I would have to take a substantial cut in salary to be at a commissioner's pay grade.
Here's a suggestion for you, Alan, why don't you try to get a little sleep at night instead of boozing it up & cruising on the net.
Small minds breed small ideas...
