Dear Walton County Board of County Commissioners,
We, concerned citizens of Walton County, urgently request an internal investigation into potential racial discrimination in our county's policies and high-level staff hiring practices.
Recent events have raised concerns about the selection process for high-ranking county administration staff, particularly the appointment of a county administrator with a history tied to racial discrimination and advocacy for discriminatory policies.
We believe it's essential to reevaluate our Human Resources department's hiring procedures for high-level positions to ensure alignment with our commitment to equality and inclusivity.
The County Administrator and Deputy County Administrator roles wield significant influence in our community, demanding that individuals in these positions uphold our values of fairness and justice.
To emphasize our dedication to these principles, we request a public statement from the Board of County Commissioners denouncing racial discrimination in policies and administration.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We trust you'll take necessary steps to uphold Walton County's integrity and foster a future embracing diversity and inclusion.
Sincerely,
