Just who's job is it to protect the election system in Hernando County? Obviously Annie Williams thinks that is not her job. Otherwise why would she have allowed county commission candidate Mr. Ronnie McLean to file two fraudulent documents in her office without notifying the state attorney's office? Mr. McLean signed two waivers stating he had not collected any campaign donations for two consecutive filing periods which were false. Both of these incidents were clearly against the law but Ms. Williams office did absolutely nothing except make excuses for Mr. McLean. Why? If it wasn't Annie Williams job to insure that campaign finance records were completed properly then just whose job was it?
Annie Williams stated in the newspaper that she knew Ronnie McLean was registered to vote in Florida, and New York, simultaneously, as of June 7, 2006. Again Ms. Williams did absolutely nothing to protect the integrity of our election system. Why? Wasn't it her responsibility to immediately contact the state attorney's office to file a formal complaint since these actions by Mr. McLean are classified as a 3rd degree felony?
The incompetence shown by Ms.Williams office has placed the democratic primary election in jeopardy. If Ms. Williams had contacted the state attorney's office promptly Mr. McLean's name would not have appeared on the ballot because he would have been under investigation. The two other candidates in Mr. McLean's race now have a bonafide reason to contest the primary election because of Ms. Williams lack of action to protect the integrity of this election.
If it isn't Annie Williams job to oversee the electoral process in Hernando County, then just whose job is it? Everyone should be asking themselves why taxpayer money, in the excess of $90K a year, is going to pay Annie Williams salary if it wasn't her job in the first place?
