Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor has some explaining to do, his colleagues say.
He was AWOL during Monday’s marathon budget workshop — a meeting in which commissioners made key decisions on how they’ll spend your tax dollars next year — and he also missed Tuesday night’s commission meeting.
Commission Chairman John Dailey said he was told Tuesday by Proctor’s aide that the District 1 commissioner was traveling at the time. Commissioner Bryan Desloge said Proctor, who was back in his office Thursday, told him he missed the meetings because he was "stuck in Atlanta."
Proctor didn’t return phone calls or an email from the Democrat.
Desloge said he’s upset Proctor missed the meetings.
"His job is to represent his district, and if he doesn’t attend the meetings, it negates any ability for him to function effectively as a commissioner," Desloge said.
Desloge said Proctor is bright and capable, but "he’s never taken this very seriously. To him, it’s a bit of a game. He could do so much if he’d take this a little more seriously."
Dailey said the commission sans Proctor "worked very well together." He said he’s been too busy with the budget to worry much about Proctor’s whereabouts.
"We are all adults," Dailey said. "I’m taking care of my business for the citizens of District 3 in Leon County. Commissioner Proctor needs to explain his absenteeism to his constituents."
Commissioner Nick Maddox said he can’t speak to Proctor’s philosophy when it comes to meeting attendance.
"I take any meeting, and especially budget workshops, very seriously," Maddox said. "And I think it’s one of the most important things — if not the most important thing — that we do as commissioners. So I make it a priority to be at each and every one of them."
Commissioner Kristin Dozier said the final budget workshop is arguably the most important commission meeting of the year.
"It is crucial for us to be there and be engaged in the process," Dozier said.
Commissioners say they’ve received emails recently from voters calling for Proctor to be removed from office or sanctioned somehow by his colleagues.
The IRS is taking money out of Proctor’s county paycheck each month until it collects nearly ,000 in unpaid income taxes. Proctor also owes more than ,000 to the Florida Elections Commission in fines from his 1998 campaign.

Yes, she works for the Fire Dept., no she is NOT at all what is normal for them. She is in the process of suing them yet again. Trust me, they would love to be rid of her! As for the dogs, I love dogs, all dogs, but hers have been neglected for years. She has 2 homes, one of hers and one that was left to her by her mother. The dogs have taken over so badly that they are digging under the foundation and it is on the verge of collapse. Her poor child is neglected and yet she still gets away with keeping him by staying just on the right side of the line. Someone PLEASE rescue these animals and the kid! She is in serious need of mental help!!!!

for over a decade Winkelmann has been breeding dogs, she would place ads in the paper selling the husky/hound mix pups. i havent seen her advertise any of the pups for sale in a few years. she did not adopt a dog from the shelter EVER! she doesn’t rescue, she let them breed. this is a case of a few dogs allowed to breed for 10 yrs and producing offspring. and dont blame the evil shelter for her irresponsibility. she’s been offered several vouchers to get her dogs fixed for years. which she refused to do. and now here we are. a decade and nearly a hundred dogs later…

there is a nuisance law in leon county that can be enforced if the LCSO wants to,i lived in Tallahasee and had a neighbor that had 7 dogs and they would keep us up all night from the barking so we called LCSO and they came out numereous times and the person ended up getting some tickets.

Moon Rise behind the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm
Image by Caveman Chuck Coker
The wind was blowing pretty hard today putting all kinds of dust and other stuff in the air. At dusk I decided it was time to head home and as I was driving down Snow Creek Road I noticed the moon rising behind the wind turbines.
Each of these units is a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). They are called horizontal-axis because the main rotor shaft is horizontal. The blades are attached to an electrical generator at the top of a tower and they must be pointed into the wind. The units have a gearbox so the generators can turn at a speed higher than the relatively slow blade rotation speed.
The blades are about 150 feet (46 meters) long and the towers are about 300 feet (91 meters) tall. That makes them really huge and really expensive to transport and assemble in the field. Many of the wind turbines are smaller than these units.
Coolness factor aside, the wind turbines are a scam. The turbine owners make money because of guaranteed government subsidies and tax credits (i.e., paid for you and me). Most of us have a surcharge on our electric bills to pay for "green" energy. A megawatt of wind-generated electricity costs about 11 or 12 times as much to produce as a megawatt of coal- or oil-generated electricity.
The government subsidies are more vital to the wind industry than the wind is. Without the subsidies, wind cannot compete against coal and oil. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (July 9, 2008) pointed out that, "In 1999, 2001 and 2003, when Congress temporarily killed the credits, the number of new turbines dropped dramatically." When the subsidies stop, the turbines are more or less abandoned until the subsidies resume.
On top of everything else, wind turbines generate their energy at the wrong times. A quick weather lesson . . . High pressure weather systems bring cold winters and hot summers and low wind levels. Low pressure weather systems bring warmer winters and cooler summers and lots of wind. These meteorological realities mean that wind makes its biggest contribution when demand is lowest and its smallest contribution when demand is highest.
Wind was a great source of power in the Middle Ages. But we have far better technology now. If the government did not force wind power on us, we wouldn’t have it. It’s just not practical.
Sorry about the rant.
