Marion County Commissioner Questionnaire

If you are a candidate or current Commissioner of Marion County Florida

How would you best describe your responsibilities to the citizens of Marion County?

A. I represent Ocala because my offices are in Ocala and many of my buds are in Ocala.

B. I represent Ocala/Marion because our county is known as Ocala/Marion and the signs all say Ocala, or Ocala/Marion.

C. I represent Marion County because I didn't run for Ocala Commissioner or any other city.  My Pay Check comes from Marion County so I am sticking with Marion County.

D. I only represent myself, some times I am for Marion County, sometimes, for Ocala, and sometimes for Ocala/Marion.  It all depends on many factors most of which are in Ocala.

F. I don't understand the question.  All the signs say Ocala so I will side with the majority, and it would save money to buy Ocala signs with Ocala.

G. I represent those who best support me in my effort to stay in office and help me avoid difficult questions.

H. I would like a different question, many of my political backers are from Ocala and this question is making me uncomfortable. 

I.  I represent Marion County and don't mind saying so to the world. If elected or reelected, or if I come to my senses: I will introduce a motion to change our name back to Marion County, from Ocala/Marion. 

Just in: Ocala EDC decides to close the doors on its present operation.  The Board of Directors of the Ocala EDC voted to move in with the Ocala CC in their downtown city owned building.  More details as they come forward.

For many years Ocala CC has done a great deal with reducing funds.

 It remains to be seen how the Ocala EDC Director will fare with little realistic support of a salary of almost double the Ocala CC director's.

 More details to come. 

 We survived without government funding but those who received massive amounts of tax dollars failed and again the Marion County Commission is falling over themselves to give awards, contracts and funding to the failed old Ocala EDC, TDC, and chamber.  And we wonder why our economy is failing.  Government doesn't do much right but I guess they try.

More later. 

Name change to Ocala Marion.  Logo change to Ocala, may change history.  New interest in TDC Governing Board may take place.  Stay tuned.
