Donny Turner wishes that he had not fouled up the way he did with a local campaigner who formerly worked for him. The People are speaking out, but somebody is deleting their comments because they don't want the truth to be known. Turner made a very big mistake.
Lara Bennett wrote something on Turner's Facebook page, which was deleted. So, we are giving her a place to do it here with no deletions. See the first comment box.
I did try to address some concerns on his page but before it was ever addressed it was deleted along with a few more who commented after me. The comment was on the link whereas he addressed the articles written by LaGrange Daily News stating that they only wrote those things to tarnish him after an audit was completed finding that Troup County News had more circulated readers, and that he was giving them all of the departments legal publications. Basically throwing blame on the newspaper and again on Whitney for recording the conversation. Well there could have been no response from either if there had been no action from him to start. Personally I have no problems with Sheriff Turner only the way he conducted himself in a manner which is deemed inappropriate for someone in his leadership role. If it had been someone under his employ that made the same "mistake" as he, there would have been disciplinary actions to follow...

ReplyDeleteI've already declared that both of these papers are useless rags. Both of them lie and cheat. There are at least two strikes against them both. No love lost with LDN. They've been hostile to our community since after Glen Long retired and have treated their workforce very shabby and steal from them. That's my audit and I'm sticking to it.
The Whitney episode was an unfortunate thing for Donny Turner. Many of our citizens have pulled their support in disgust with this childish and unprofessional behavior.
This newspaper thing might be another blemish. What else will we find in the Donny Turner record? Troup County politics is under fire and rightly so.
