Dear Liberty Dispatch,
Will Melody Gilmore prove the point this website has been making about the local Democratic party and their elected officials?
I know it is not as big of a crime, and that it may not be a crime at all, but District Clerk Melody Gilmore’s decision to close our District Clerk’s office sure seems like the self serving type of thing we taxpayers ought to all frown upon.
My first question is whether or not it is legal. She has told the radio station the closing is because of the office’s proximity to the polls. That sounds ridiculous. Are District Clerk’s offices closing around the country if they are close to the polls. Perhaps Gilmore should have taken a day of vacation if she felt she could not keep from electioneering outside of her office.
Closing her office could have some other questions attached to it that are unquestionably wrong. Will anyone in her office be campaigning for her during the hours she has closed the office. If so, WE THE PEOPLE are paying for her to have a campaign staff to solicit our vote for her on election day. Is that the way the system is meant to work?

Melanie Gilmore has closed her office in an attempt to have her people go out and campaign for her on the the taxpayer's backs. What she is doing is a play straight out of Rusty Hight's playbook. Hight has gotten paid to be judge since the election started and we have paid him NOT to show up at court. Instead, we have had to pay a visiting judge to take his place.
The question is, can Rusty Hight be prosecuted for judicial misconduct for his in kind theft upon the county? I think his actions should be reported to the state judiciary commission as a formal complaint anonymously and named by several interested taxpayers.
I hope I see Melanie Gilmore tonight, I plan to give her a Delia a piece of my mind, thieves...
Ive had it with them stealing time and using the public trust for their scams.
Ms. Gilmore should not have closed the District Clerk's office. She could have taken a day off and campaigned or rested up for tonight and kept those offices open for this community.
Judge Hight showed Gilmore that their re-election is more important than doing the peoples' business. Both of them have been drawing a government check for too long.
District Clerk deputies who were given a day off can now rest up to man the polls for Melody Gilmore when people get off of work. Some of them probably do not want to help her but ...... oh well.
Every Gilmore sign and every Gilmore t-shirt at the polls is possibly someone who got time off to work the polls. I agree - should taxpayer employees be used like this?
Accuse them formally and they will just mark it down as a day off, but we allknow these employees are in no position to say "I don't want to work for you boss lady".
Prediction from a fellow Republican who has fought entrenched corruption at the county level: "If Republicans lose, LD and its contributors will get a great deal of the blame. if Republicans win, LD and its contributors will get NONE of the credit. We read Liberty County's website (LD) every day for ideas. Many people read an active controversial local website. LD has definitely effected the results of this election. The returns start coming in almost two hours from now. Congratulations! or Shame on you! It will be the same way here. Same goals. Good luck gentlemen, we are in a similar boat.
Well Melody and Delia are finished at the Courthouse,as of this morning. They can go ahead and close their offices and hand over the keys to our new Liberty County Team. Do you all at the Courthouse, now get the message. The people of Liberty County have spoken and are finished with this bunch we now have in office. Liberty County Hospital District, " YOU ARE NEXT".
Our newly elected officials need to refuse any interviews with K-LIE radio and Bucky Bill. I wonder how Bill and Allen will now treat these people after this election. Prediction; I think they will both become Republicans, now that they won't be able to degrade a Liberty County official that is a position of power. It will be interesting to see how they change their tune.
