Inglis Police Chief, Steve Dixon just turned in a letter, (see on right) signed by offi-

cers and secretary, requesting that Inglis Commission remove police liaison, Sally Price. He

said she has a completely different agenda than IPD and is very negative when ever dealing

with him or his officers. Maybe their agendas ARE different?

Mr. Dixon, remember a year and a half ago when you (and our FORMER Mayor)

called in Sheriff Johnny Smith just to scare us all to death when we signed petitions ask-

ing for a Charter Amendment VOTE on whether or not to dissolve IPD? The Commission

eventually caved and didn’t allow those legal guaranteed votes. Your department dodged a

bullet. But the Mayor and Commissioner Webb didn’t do so good at the next election, did

they? While your department doubled in size your friends shrunk by half (or more). Good

thing YOU don’t have to run for office, huh?

Mr. Dixon, I remember 6 months ago when Your job was to keep order at our

March 5, 2011 “Meet the Candidates” forum; YOU were the only person Out Of Order.

Shouting out “That is a Lie” when she said many people had confided in her about their fear

of police officers, and IPD. Your Threats in town meeting, Even most recent meetings in

July of 2011. (Example: You think you have been sued before you have not seen anything

yet). Threats make me sick; you’ve been behaving like a spoiled child (with a gun).

Mr. Dixon remember 5 months ago, when VOTERS by a MANDATE put Ms.

Price in office and commission made her your BOSS over your Wishes? She RAN on a

platform of downsizing or turning over to the county. IPD Makes lots of arrests, puts people

in jail, gets sued a lot, but doesn’t get many convictions. Why is that? I have made public

records request to know the exact numbers, but have not received any yet. You came to

my car lot and stated if Mrs. Price was elected to the commission you would resign! Mrs.

Price was elected you didn’t resign. Also you stated if she was put as Police Commissioner

(your boss) you would absolutely resign, kind of insinuating if I could stop that you would

stay. Again, she was elected but you didn’t resign. Who would be the not truth tell in the

Hostile work environment’? Just look in the mirror for who’s causing it. With 14

Officers we must have the worst crime in Florida?(We have 1140 people in Inglis, down

300 from 10 yrs. ago). Maybe a Chief who wants the whole Advalurem budget for his de-

partment? You already have more than 100%. The FACE for blame that you put on Sally

Price for grief you’re getting is from the VOTERS. Sally knew me when I started 1st grade.

I received a ticket3 hours after my supposed offense if that is not intimidation I don’t know

what is. That won’t shut me up and if you think you’re gonna scare Sally or the Commis-

sioners; they’re YOUR Bosses, remember? Somebody’s got to be the parent around here.

Keep Beating Up On Sally, and Inglis Citizens, let me know how that works out

for you, fair enough? You just don’t get it.

Yankeetown Mayor's Report

P.S. I think the letter is a direct threat of a Public Official this should be investigat-

ed by the FDLE or whoever investigates these things. Drew White, Inglis 352-447-0777
