Touart defends himself

   August 30, 2007

In a exclusive phone interview, County Administrator George Touart defended himself against the latest disclosures made by the Pensacola News Journal. He sincerely believes that he has done nothing wrong. Yes, he should have disclosed his relationship with developers Neal Nash and Ronnie Swaine, but the oversight wasn’t intentional and he corrected it at the August 23 BOCC meeting. He says that he has talked with the ethics commission on today’s disclosures and he has been assured he has no ethics violations.

Note: I realize that there will be some criticism from bloggers on even posting the conversation, but I do believe George has the right to get his message out unfiltered. You can balance his comments against the PNJ articles and what we’ve reported on INDaily.
