BTW: Valentino was part of 2007 sting operation to catch Touart


Commissioner Gene Valentino blamed the media for forcing George Touart out as the county administrator.

The commissioner has conveniently forgotten that he was part of a Sept. 15, 2007 sting operation to catch Touart on tape trying to trade the Bauer Road property intended for a sports complex for his retirement package.

We published the transcript of the recording made by the state attorney’s office on this blog.
