Well I'm a bit confused why he would want to start drug court in district court. He talks about drug court being an alternative to a felony conviction--true. But the district court is premature to start drug court. There hasn't been an indictment yet. The grand jury might not even indict the person. And a conditional plea to the felony is a prerequisite to entering drug court (at least in most counties). District court can't take felony pleas. So I don't understand his point.

IMO, you dont need to be a parent of biological or adopted children to be a qualified candidate. Pointing out he is a parent and a parent of an adopted child is probably just a tactic to get votes from parents. No different than joining a church to get votes I think.

The family court judge in Lauderdale County has children--of course, they don't speak to him since his divorce. He also has one of the lowest ratings in the state on the Courthouse Forum.
I have several friends who have both biological and adopted children. Ask them which is which, and they'll always say they forget. For Milam to distinguish between the two makes me sick.

Oh, one more thing. I was especially delighted to see that Mr. Milam distinguished between his "real" children and his adopted child. Way to go, Mr. Milam. I bet that girl of "yours" doesn't have any issues.

Then why are all the support signs on the Colbert side, your Porkiness?

The best side! What side of the river are you on?
.... I agree! One thing that bothered me about Milam's statement is that he is involved in so many of his church activities and that he delivers meals to "shut ins". I know at least 3 elderly folks who live near his church and have never had any offer of help from Milam. It bothers me that candidates want to brag about good deeds and offer no proof of any. Don't bring your bragging.....true or not...into your political goal. People (VOTERS) can see through it easily.quote:Originally posted by MrsJoeMerchant:

The context of his statement is in lieu of the office he is running for. Judge carpenter handles primarily the juvenile cases in Colbert County. So yes, i would think that having experience as a parent would be highly beneficial to the job.
Now a question for you. Do you think Tina Parker could be qualified to be a juvenile judge with no experience at dealing with teenage rebellion or any other stage of child developent? If so, what qualifications does she have that would allow her to deal with this critical age group?

No matter what candidate you choose some redneck is gonna pick every comment to death and twist it to their candidates benefit.. Cant wait to see the mudslinging after Mondays next candidates profile is posted at shoalsinsider.. Be smart and investigate thourougly your candidates,, see who has been paying taxes and registered themself to vote in Colbert County and how long they each have been in practice or registered in the County they now claim to run in..
