Funny thing is, WE ARE NOT LAUGHING AT GAIL and MOST of the citizens of Otter Creek, mostly just the ones on the board who DONT CARE ABOUT THE TOWN. They care, in that THEY want the POWER they perceived they HAD in Otter Creek back. That WILL NOT happen, I can ALMOST guarantee that. Having committed corruption in the town, means you DO NOT get a seat on the board of the town! Stealing from residents is NOT how you run a town. I hope Gail knows she will figure this out AFTER the court hearing. After all is said & done, People will RESPECT the citizens of Otter Creek for standing up & saying NO to the corruption!! 😊
Thank you. I couldn't say it any better. If someone don't call out the man once and a while then nothing gets changed. And you would still be paying taxes to the crown for tea.
I'm so happy that Belinda is so knowledgeable. She tells Mr. Fuller how it is. And as you said many times why did he sit there at the town council table and never said a word before
Mr Fuller might fool some of the residents but... he is not all knowledgeable! Roberts rules is NOT the only way to run council meetings. I actually researched this after the last meeting because of him! He is full of it! Belinda, thank goodness is speaking up and knows that! Mr Fuller needs to sit down and Jeremy please research this! He has an agenda! The OC Council can run there meetings how they want too! ✌
Speaking of Mr. Fuller... How can a non-resident of Otter Creek be on the Board? This blows me away! Why is he so concerned in all this now versus when he was on the Board?? I do remember it being said that Mr. Fuller has Family in Otter Creek, but still?!?!? Let's all take turns living in the RV park and voice OUR opinions every month!
Albert Fuller at first (in some previous meetings) seemed to have the towns best interests at heart. The more I hear him speak he has a hidden agenda. What’s up with this guy, Jeremy?
Ya when Albert was being paid illegally by russ he kept his mouth shut and now he’s standing up there backing russ on what’s an emergency is like he’s now the law of the land I don’t like him one bit HIDDEN AGENDA is correct
I agree. I seems like he's trying to invalidate the meetings and imply that they aren't following procedures. There has been more structure, transparency, and interaction with the townspeople than ever before. Then Fuller's "emergency" caveat almost seems like an excuse for Russ to use and wipe away his wrongdoings. You can't just operate with impunity and say "well it was an emergency". I'll give Fuller the benefit of doubt, maybe he didn't have a chance to speak when Russ was mayor (no one did). Maybe he just wants to ensure things don't slip back and that's why he's being a stickler, but his position isn't clear and it seems to favor Russ. That's not a good look for anyone.
Honestly it’s good for you to film it keeps everyone accountable, I don’t think she understands that. I’m not laughing at your town, I’m really rooting for it to get better
We all are! Corruption in government as anything but a laughing matter. However, that was a direct assault on the first amendment, so now, I'm seeing things a little differently. People who are afraid of cameras are either damned insecure about their physical appearance or afraid of getting busted! I assure you, there is no third option
What's truly sad is MOST OF THE TOWN just sits there & try to find SCAPE GOAT'S to BLAME their problems on, and play the victim card. IF they CARED about their town like they claim they do then, BAN TOGETHER ,show up to the meetings & make and a POSITIVE CHANGE for your town!!
Not only show up and become an active member of the community but some of them need to take more pride in where they live...!! Whenever someone has a yard that basically looks like a junk-yard (Don and Russ) then it can make that whole area look horrible...!! I realize there's a lot of elderly that can't do the work their selves but they could do the trading favors to someone who's willing and able to do the manual labor parts...!!
Like I said earlier, when the people get upset with the way things are they will get upset and angry and make their voices heard. Tonight was the night that starts the healing process for the town. I agree with Jeremy he is not the problem, if the town was not corrupt he would not have a reason for videoing. He had the smarts to hold the elected officials accountable, and the best way to do that is with open transparency. The best way to ensure transparency is to have the public see what is going on first hand.
I'm sure a lot of the town's people appreciate Jeremy for what he's done, some just can't publicly say so because of that small town loyalty mentality and Jeremy is still considered an outsider (probably always will be)...!! Imagine the people Russ the Suss has terrorized for year's by stopping them from obtaining zoning permits, having to deal with possibly contaminated water amd the list goes on and on...!! I guarantee you a lot of those town's people are glad someone is finally standing up to Russ the Suss....!!
This video got my blood pressure up! Vicky, as you were speaking, I was shouting at my screen telling Russ to stop being rude and talking! Residents of Otter Creek, I applaud you for finding your voices and calling out the people who caused this mess over the past several decades. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Instead of Russ listening to what Vicky had to say he talked the whole time. To say Russ is Rude and disrespectful is an understatement. But hey what else can you expect of a narcissist As for Don he lives in his own universe
I'm sorry to say those people who are complaining now about all the filming but they are the ones who voted in russ the suss Mary mary maths is scary and don the con would they perfere to let the town go bankrupt with no one making them accountable you have done a great job Jeremy bringing it to light keep up the good work love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mr. FULLER!!! Get this man out of Otter Creek business! He has no skin in this game. Oops maybe he is hired by the big land owners? How dare him to make comments regarding the process of board! This man should not be trusted!!!!!!
Please pass this on to Gail. Gail, you are one of my heroes! You have proven yourself by voting yes on issues that effect everyone. You have voted no a few times because you wanted to research the issue more before you vote. I've seen that on your face. Those people "laughing" have never lived in a small town were people are related to each other and disagree. You took the time to go door to door to ask questions. I am proud of you! As for being filmed, you are filmed when you enter any business, bank, at traffic lights, outside of businesses and most public meetings are now posted on the internet for residents who couldn't make it to the meetings could still follow along with the agenda through video. Please keep doing good for your community and keep being the awesome person you are!!
I watched almost every video and i was so happy for you all that you are on a good and legal way, working for the community. And i tell you, you have very very good people around now doing their best to support your town. I wish you all the best for the future. Greetings from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪
Who is Mr. Fuller he doesn't even live in Otter Creek , he's at every meeting making all his comments. Yeah I know who he is he's there for Russ the sus. Also I wish there was an option to give 5 STARS for your comment Jeremy & George
We have a 1st amendment right safeguarded by the constitution to record our public servants in the course of their duties and anywhere the public is allowed to go in traditional public forums. #AbolishQualifiedImmunity
Everyone has their own opinion. Grown people, men in particular, need to Grow Up 😮 Be respectful and courteous to ALL. You know what they say about options 🤔
Glad to see Mr. Fuller was called out for being an expert on procedure, when he stayed mute and let everything slide, when he was on the council. He looks like a mouth piece for Russell.
I actually saw some bright lights in this meeting. I think the good people of Otter Creek are finally speaking up and saying we want our good town back. I pray it gets that way for them and all who live there. It seems like it could be a great little community if they all come together for good.
I find it so ironic that Don will come to town hall to want information on what the state is getting, but won’t come to town hall to get meeting information packets. Has this man ever done ANYTHING constructive for the town in all the years he has been on the town council🤦🏼♂️
This town is beautiful. Living in such a beautiful place. People of this town need to get together. Really get rid of the drug's and People that make the town pulling it down. Respect the way you need to change for positive things.
Hi in California there's a lot of Big a Trees. That's the first thing that my Great Grandpa said when he looked up at the Redwood trees. ( That's a lot of Big a Trees ). Thank you.
Finally someone spoke up about Mr. Fuller standing up to the current council when he never stood up to the past council who never did anything according to any Rules of Order; Parliamentary or otherwise! The council doesn’t only have to work within the law when it suits you and your family! It should work the same for everyone! Remember justice for all! Equality and all of the other rights our ancestors fought to have honored. You are educated to a fault! You are misusing your education! You should be setting an example and teaching unity and camaraderie instead of division and animosity! You should be ashamed of yourself!
The town will come out of this for the better once the Attorney General finalizes the investigations. The lady that was speaking is stressed but seems to care about the town. Nobody is laughing at her or the town. People have zero tolerance for corruption and being lied to especially from local government. This is why their are laws and a chain of command that has to be followed. Most towns/cities in the state of Florida film and broadcast the city council meetings. The Attorney Generals office will go through and audit the books and review the 6000 emails. The auditors will investigate the water accounts, look at the property taxes, zoning and titles. Then they will start doing deposition's. They will want to know what happened to the fire truck. The governor's office along with the Attorney Generals office most likely will apply pressure for the county official's and the Federal Trade Commission to do a massive audit of ALL violations of the Sun Shine Laws. This corruption and financial extortion seems to have been going on for years. The leaders from the past and thier greed has put this town on blast. They are the ones to blame. I think the town should consider a web-site. Its 2023.
People better get used to it. When you go to a town hall meeting, those meetings' proceedings are public information. If you don't want to accept responsibility for the circumstances in Otter Creek, for who you voted for, too bad. When you are in public, do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. You have a right to speak out about what you believe, the people you disagree with do too. Your little town is a mess and it has been exposed. There is no such thing as free money. It came from someone somewhere that earned it. Russell and Don are so used to the way it went when Russell was mayor, they just don't want to accept a better city hall. Don't know how buying a computer is an emergency. I think that word emergency is being misused. When you're in public, you can be filmed. It's a city hall. And you open it up for a meeting, it can be filmed. You should film it yourself and post for all those that aren't there to see in the first place. If you're on the council, the people can say anything they want about your behavior on the council. You're an elected official. You do not have a right to not be filmed. If you can be seen from a public road, or sidewalk, or right of way, you can be filmed. Russell and Don need to start acting like adults. If don't know how to open up attachments in your emails, ask for it. I live far from Florida and Otter Creek, but if you send me the email platform you're using, I will make a simple set of instructions for those that aren't used to technology and I won't charge you for it. It's nothing to be shamed of if you aren't used to using technology.
Well said Miss Vicky! Jeremy, lot of people May blame you for filming Otter Creek’s chaos, but I think if you didn’t do that they would still be in the mess they were in.
I saw hope for the first time in all this chaos. The people who care are starting to make their voices heard and the corrupt ones are becoming silent. Hold an emergency meeting, vote Don and Russell off the board, and put in 2 temporary people until elections are held. That is a real emergency! Vicky, you need to be in front of the camera, because you are what the town of Otter Creek needs as representation.
Vicky a presence about her with strength and common Sense it's what this town has been missing for so long it appears people have made this town their own piggy bank and that's when corruption will set in when nobody is held accountable people run amok and thank the township is their own and there's no other way but that's one-sided thinking. And that never works in a Republic
Vicki was speaking the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. The town people should vote Vicky in when Russ and Don are gone. The town needs her. Like a body needs blood to survive. At the moment these a bit of bad blood. The town of OC will become stronger again.
Did anyone else notice that when Vicky was saying her piece, Russ was not paying any attention or showing her any respect? He is a real work of (bad) art. What a jerk. And why is Don so worried about the information given to the state? Is he worried there is something that may incriminate him? For someone so concerned about those 6000 emails you would think he would be at Town Hall helping sort through all the mess left by Mary and Russ. I understand the people not wanting to be exposed and embarrassed by the filming but if I was a resident I would put that aside and work to help fix the many problems they are facing. Anyways, be safe on your travels George and Jeremy. Thanks for the video!😁✌💲
I find it odd that Mr Fuller never said one word about how Russ ran the meetings when he was getting paid. Now he has something to say about everything as a non resident and is off Russes payroll. So many questions……
Sounds like Don is wanting to know what the authorities have on him so he can get his story straight that's why he wants to know what they have. And also so russ can do the same
The dramatic remarks of “I’m scared” are ridiculous. What EXACTLY are you scared of? If you want to be friends with your neighbor, why does a camera change that? The lack of logic is senseless. The corruption has been eroding the town for decades and now that a light has been put on it, the cameras are blamed and NOW people can’t go anyone without being scared? Why weren’t you scared when your town was being destroyed and no one spoke up? So you go to Walmart and someone films you? So what? I haven’t seen any public videos of anyone shopping at Walmart? The only thing I see is the repeated disruption of every single meeting by Russ and Don, yet your fear is shopping at Walmart and being seen? Focus on the REAL problem - get rid of Russ and Don.
The town has a festiring wound of corruption and Russ and Don are at the center of it. Well to treat a wound like that you have to cut out the corruption (voting them out) and move forward with healing all the while keeping the wound clean (oversight on all parties in the counsel by the watchful eyes of the residents).
There is zero expectation of privacy when one is in a public place. You don't want to be filmed in your jammies picking out wine? Then you can put on real clothes. BTW, I suspect most big box stores have video going all the time. So if you're in Walmart or Albertsons or Krogers or Lowes, smile and wave. You're being recorded.
I believe George and Jeremy are victims of the previous council. If you want to cast stones cast them at the culprits. Russel and Mary. They are guilty as sin! Don always acting like a child. He makes me so angry. He knows there was no letter he just wants to hear himself talk. He keeps repeating himself as if he's trying to make his point that SOMEONE told him there was a letter! We know him so well! Shut it Don! 😂
Drug abuse will mess with a person’s head and make them not be able to grasp the concept of things! I agree that Don loves to hear himself talk about absolutely nothing!
I am sick of them crying about a camera and filming and acting like it's something new. Yall need to cut the bull💩 and grow up. Jeremy and George have brung nothing but blessings and the help yall needed. You all have been at each other for years and not getting along with each other stop the act. Russell, Mary and Don were treating yall any way they felt like it and nobody said anything but when someone comes and clean up the town yall are not happy. Stop acting like they walk around behind yall recording you they are not. If it wasn't for Jeremy all that money would be gone cause Mary and Russell didn't do what was needed. Yall lost your contract with the fire department but thanks to Jeremy catching Russ and Mary and yall getting a new council president and her and the people she has making a plan and figuring out a deal yall wouldn't have anything. Stop blaming the camera and do what needs to be done to help build your town.
I added statements that were made by Thomas Collins to half the residents to the town Your personal life did pertain to the issues at hand You claim you were afraid of being filmed, going to your neighbors, etc... Yet, the person filming you and your neighbors claims he's in an intimate relationship with you That's hypocrisy coming from you
This is sad that good people are being put in the limelight due to the corruption in their town. I was working for the County of Orange in Calif. when it went bankrupt and the media was ridiculous. I was asked question by camera crews and death and bomb threats were a constantly going on. Mind you I didn't work in the treasury department that mishandled the money. It effected everyone and their position due to massive layoff and shift changes. It amazes me that Don, Russell and Mary have no conscience of the chaos they have created in this small town. I also find it refreshing that you and Goerge stand up to all this corruption and that gives me great hope that there are good people in this world that will not bend and retreat from the evil doing of others. Stand strong and tall my friends. You two are always in my prayers. Vanessa
I miss the OC...especially Huntington Beach... I knew that this was evetually going to happen...but didn't realize it would be within my lifetime... It's sad to hear about this Bout the county of my birth...
I don't always agree with you Jeremy but I totally agree with you on the victimization things. The camera doesn't make people ridiculous, it only records their ridiculousness. Although I do wonder about something. They always say the camera adds fifteen pounds. When I watch Don I wonder, is it possible the camera subtracts 15 IQ points?
How is it this man know so much charter procedure stuff now, but sat at the end of a table silent FOR YEARS plus does NOT reside in this town. 😮😮😮😮😠😠😠 Shut him up and sit him down!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮
So many people crying about how they wish it would be, but won't call out the ones who actively work to destroy any chance of that. ...get brave, and remove the trash-personalities.
I love Don said I like to be consistant, Yeah a consistant jerk. And he said he was talking to zim about the letter, If he was talking business to another council member outside of the meeting, that is illegal, our council member got jail time for that
To Gail, you have are what Otter Creek needs, someone that cares about their town, that doesn’t have a hidden agenda. I can only imagine the heartache you are having seeing your town go through this, but you and several other people on the board are on the right track to bring life back to your town. As you said, the rain will end and you and the good people of Otter Creek will be the sunshine to help it grow again. Don’t give up now, you’re part of the team that will bring Otter Creek back
This really hurts to watch two grown, greedy, stupid and ignorant men, trying to sabotage the freaking place that they live!!! 😡 Make this make sense!! I grew up in a small town. Many Families would gather somewhere and dishes were brought to pass for a big picnic. Kids played. Adults played Horse shoes. Women had fun playing cards or board games. I’m 59 and I still play cards and board games with neighbors. I would refuse to see Love die, while hate wants to live!!!💔💔
I, as a public citizen am not laughing or making fun of Otter Creek. I know the same things happen in other locations. It is sad, not funny! Finish cleaning out the office and town.
My heart goes out to all the folks that just want a peaceful existence in OC and I hope one day soon they can all have it. Corruption ran deep for a very long time and it's gonna take time to clear it all out and have a fresh start full of people who do.care about the town and the townspeople. I wish you all the best. Sincerely
I am from the uk. When you get rid of the virus the town can breathe again and grow stronger with each other. I can't remember Russ not saying a word in the town meeting. It's like the cats got his tongue. If Don was the same as Russ it would been a great meeting. I know their's a lot of people who don't like the filming. But when Russ and Don are gone from the top table. There probably be one camera filming the meeting's just for record's.
The best possible way to communicate in a meeting is first to pursue positive activities. Then allow rebuttal if any. Then allow attendees to present any concerns. No cross-talking, no interruptions. Then the meeting will advance a lot more smoothly and progress will happen. Cross-talk only serves to create argumentative chaos which inhibits any productive results.
You are so right. That happens all the time in small towns. Get out the wrong people and it will be a neat little town without all the dishonest people. Lots of luck praying for you all 😊
I'm not laughing at the People of Otter Creek. I Pray for Otter Creek. I'm Glad Jeremy showed us these videos. Hopefully other towns will look into corruption in their towns. Thanks Jeremy.
i have comment about otter creak but never laughed at them or about them honestly i pray for them and as far as what the Hales family i have supported y'all from the beginning and that is the bottom line , i don't think everyone is laughing at them honestly i believe its more of a shock to see how grown adults are acting like 5-6 yr olds , im one of the people that are for otter creek and bottom line is the town will stay defied until people understand and come together as a whole , to work together and the one thing i hate is some of the things y'all delt with you are great people with large hearts and way better then me because if i had to deal with this let me say it would be way worse , i just pray that the people see the truth and wake up and come together because it takes a army to build a town not one person, always saying no to everything and always fighting against what the town needs is never going to help
1) No right to privacy in public per Supreme Court. As long as you are in a place you are allowed to be. 2) Federal law Smith v. Cumming secures the right of citizens to film public officials (Florida, Alabama, and Georgia) in the execution of their duties. 3) My wife and I are not laughing at you. We pray the corruption is exposed and brought to light. We wish the best for your community.
Instead of Russ listening to what Vicky had to say he talked the whole time. To say Russ is Rude and disrespectful is an understatement. But hey what else can you expect of a narcissist As for Don he lives in his own universe
Concede basic rights to others, but only as long as it doesn`t make me personally "uncomfortable". Then rather back to lies and corruption 😉 Feelings are not law and this is the price Americans have to pay for the so called "Liberty". Don`t accuse the messenger/discloser of years of corruption (in which you participated) just because it hurts your feelings. End of story
Congratulations, you win this comments section. Doing the right thing is sometimes uncomfortable and to suggest things were better before cameras and legal requests forced needed accountability to simply do the right thing was somehow "comfortable" is what the world is noticing. We need more of this at every level not less because its "uncomfortable".
#replay 🙋♀️ Hello Ms. George, Jeremy & Everyone. I am not laughing at the town , i feel sad for the town because they just let the crooked ones walk all over them. And some just don't want to open their eyes to it. I love a lot of people there, but the crooked ones needs to go for the sake of the town's people.
I'm so sorry Jeremy and George that you have to go back to this town. I feel sorry for the town folk but there are some people on there council that ABSOLUTELY need to be GONE. Mr Fuller needs to sit down and close his mouth
Might need to do a foia request on Mr fuller if had in involvement with the permits denials and knew, I pull his phone records he sat with the board Jeremy

i think he just wants everyone to know he's the smartest guy in the room.
I agree. I seems like he's trying to invalidate the meetings and imply that they aren't following procedures.

I agree. Why is he even there? Does he own property in otter creek? Maybe I missed something……
Mr. Fuller always seems to be the recap king...... or he thinks he is
Yes! Finally someone calls Mr fuller out!
Honestly it’s good for you to film it keeps everyone accountable, I don’t think she understands that. I’m not laughing at your town, I’m really rooting for it to get better
Yes , this is probable common . The documentary “All the queens horses” by example
We all are! Corruption in government as anything but a laughing matter. However, that was a direct assault on the first amendment, so now, I'm seeing things a little differently. People who are afraid of cameras are either damned insecure about their physical appearance or afraid of getting busted! I assure you, there is no third option
What's truly sad is MOST OF THE TOWN just sits there & try to find SCAPE GOAT'S to BLAME their problems on, and play the victim card.
IF they CARED about their town like they claim they do then,
BAN TOGETHER ,show up to the meetings & make and a POSITIVE CHANGE for your town!!
Not only show up and become an active member of the community but some of them need to take more pride in where they live...!! Whenever someone has a yard that basically looks like a junk-yard (Don and Russ) then it can make that whole area look horrible...!! I realize there's a lot of elderly that can't do the work their selves but they could do the trading favors to someone who's willing and able to do the manual labor parts...!!
Funny how Mr Fuller had nothing to say when Russ the suss and Mary were running the town into the ground.
Like I said earlier, when the people get upset with the way things are they will get upset and angry and make their voices heard. Tonight was the night that starts the healing process for the town. I agree with Jeremy he is not the problem, if the town was not corrupt he would not have a reason for videoing. He had the smarts to hold the elected officials accountable, and the best way to do that is with open transparency.

I guarantee you a lot of those town's people are glad someone is finally standing up to Russ the Suss....!!
This video got my blood pressure up! Vicky, as you were speaking, I was shouting at my screen telling Russ to stop being rude and talking! Residents of Otter Creek, I applaud you for finding your voices and calling out the people who caused this mess over the past several decades. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
OMG ! Russell and Don give me a headache. Geez I couldn't be there without getting arrested LOL
Instead of Russ listening to what Vicky had to say he talked the whole time. To say Russ is Rude and disrespectful is an understatement. But hey what else can you expect of a narcissist
As for Don he lives in his own universe
I'm sorry to say those people who are complaining now about all the filming but they are the ones who voted in russ the suss Mary mary maths is scary and don the con would they perfere to let the town go bankrupt with no one making them accountable you have done a great job Jeremy bringing it to light keep up the good work love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The sad part is the men are doing it ON PURPOSE and know it!😲
I turn the sound down when the guy pops up talking he might be clever but he never said anything when Russell Meeks was mayor.
THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWN NEEDS TO DIRECT THE NEGTIVETY AT RUSS THE SUSS IT'S HIS FAULT
When the 2nd to the last lady was speaking Russell was like huh? What? You talking about me?? Lol
Oops it was the 2nd to last.. the one before the one not wanting to be filmed
Mr. FULLER!!! Get this man out of Otter Creek business! He has no skin in this game. Oops maybe he is hired by the big land owners?
How dare him to make comments regarding the process of board!
This man should not be trusted!!!!!!
Don is wrong, they are not all equal! He is a council member, madam Teresa is the MAYOR and Zim is Vice Mayor they have more power and responsibility.
Please pass this on to Gail.
Gail, you are one of my heroes! You have proven yourself by voting yes on issues that effect everyone. You have voted no a few times because you wanted to research the issue more before you vote. I've seen that on your face. Those people "laughing" have never lived in a small town were people are related to each other and disagree. You took the time to go door to door to ask questions. I am proud of you!
As for being filmed, you are filmed when you enter any business, bank, at traffic lights, outside of businesses and most public meetings are now posted on the internet for residents who couldn't make it to the meetings could still follow along with the agenda through video. Please keep doing good for your community and keep being the awesome person you are!!
I have never found anything funny about whats happening in Otter Creek. Ive been cheering for Jeremy and the good of the town.
Mr Fuller who is we your not part of the town 😂 he's definitely got a hidden agenda we just have to figure it out
Onces corruption always corruption. Those people needs to grow up.
Russ was talking the whole time Hickey was talking , how RUDE
Thanks for the entertainment Jeremy and George! 😊😊 ✌️❤️🤙🤙
I do not agree with everything Mr Fuller is saying
I watched almost every video and i was so happy for you all that you are on a good and legal way, working for the community. And i tell you, you have very very good people around now doing their best to support your town.
I wish you all the best for the future. Greetings from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪
He didn't say anything because he was cowed by Russel
Who is Mr. Fuller he doesn't even live in Otter Creek , he's at every meeting making all his comments. Yeah I know who he is he's there for Russ the sus. Also I wish there was an option to give 5 STARS for your comment Jeremy & George
A town full of no backbone, the few good people need help cleaning the town up.
Good for Belinda telling mr fuller how it is
We have a 1st amendment right safeguarded by the constitution to record our public servants in the course of their duties and anywhere the public is allowed to go in traditional public forums.
#AbolishQualifiedImmunity
Thank goodness somebody said something about mr. For in his he never said anything at all
Maybe he figured when Russ was in office it wouldn’t matter if he spoke up or not. It wouldn’t be heard one way or the other.
I don't watch anyone else, that covers otter creek, I only watch " what the hales " 😊
I believe u strongly. Someone out there needs to put a stop to it..
Keep fighting the fight. Don’t let the ignorance of others dictate your decisions
Everyone has their own opinion. Grown people, men in particular, need to Grow Up 😮 Be respectful and courteous to ALL. You know what they say about options 🤔
i care we just have to vote for the positive people
sorry, but i think that grandpa was hanging up side down to long!!!!!
Glad to see Mr. Fuller was called out for being an expert on procedure, when he stayed mute and let everything slide, when he was on the council. He looks like a mouth piece for Russell.
I actually saw some bright lights in this meeting. I think the good people of Otter Creek are finally speaking up and saying we want our good town back. I pray it gets that way for them and all who live there. It seems like it could be a great little community if they all come together for good.
I find it so ironic that Don will come to town hall to want information on what the state is getting, but won’t come to town hall to get meeting information packets. Has this man ever done ANYTHING constructive for the town in all the years he has been on the town council🤦🏼♂️
This SOOOOO.. our town!!!
This town is beautiful. Living in such a beautiful place. People of this town need to get together. Really get rid of the drug's and People that make the town pulling it down. Respect the way you need to change for positive things.
Hi in California there's a lot of Big a Trees. That's the first thing that my Great Grandpa said when he looked up at the Redwood trees. ( That's a lot of Big a Trees ). Thank you.
Russell giving the nod again to someone!!
Our big town we’re I live every single town hall is televised on tv for every one in this area can watch it. Not sure about our suburbs.
Unbelievable
Finally someone spoke up about Mr. Fuller standing up to the current council when he never stood up to the past council who never did anything according to any Rules of Order; Parliamentary or otherwise! The council doesn’t only have to work within the law when it suits you and your family! It should work the same for everyone! Remember justice for all! Equality and all of the other rights our ancestors fought to have honored. You are educated to a fault! You are misusing your education! You should be setting an example and teaching unity and camaraderie instead of division and animosity! You should be ashamed of yourself!
I agree with you .
The town will come out of this for the better once the Attorney General finalizes the investigations. The lady that was speaking is stressed but seems to care about the town. Nobody is laughing at her or the town. People have zero tolerance for corruption and being lied to especially from local government. This is why their are laws and a chain of command that has to be followed. Most towns/cities in the state of Florida film and broadcast the city council meetings. The Attorney Generals office will go through and audit the books and review the 6000 emails. The auditors will investigate the water accounts, look at the property taxes, zoning and titles. Then they will start doing deposition's. They will want to know what happened to the fire truck. The governor's office along with the Attorney Generals office most likely will apply pressure for the county official's and the Federal Trade Commission to do a massive audit of ALL violations of the Sun Shine Laws. This corruption and financial extortion seems to have been going on for years. The leaders from the past and thier greed has put this town on blast. They are the ones to blame. I think the town should consider a web-site. Its 2023.
Do the people in this town not realize that everybody has a camera in their hand these days?
People better get used to it. When you go to a town hall meeting, those meetings' proceedings are public information. If you don't want to accept responsibility for the circumstances in Otter Creek, for who you voted for, too bad. When you are in public, do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. You have a right to speak out about what you believe, the people you disagree with do too. Your little town is a mess and it has been exposed. There is no such thing as free money. It came from someone somewhere that earned it. Russell and Don are so used to the way it went when Russell was mayor, they just don't want to accept a better city hall. Don't know how buying a computer is an emergency. I think that word emergency is being misused. When you're in public, you can be filmed. It's a city hall. And you open it up for a meeting, it can be filmed. You should film it yourself and post for all those that aren't there to see in the first place. If you're on the council, the people can say anything they want about your behavior on the council. You're an elected official. You do not have a right to not be filmed. If you can be seen from a public road, or sidewalk, or right of way, you can be filmed. Russell and Don need to start acting like adults. If don't know how to open up attachments in your emails, ask for it. I live far from Florida and Otter Creek, but if you send me the email platform you're using, I will make a simple set of instructions for those that aren't used to technology and I won't charge you for it. It's nothing to be shamed of if you aren't used to using technology.
BRAVO give that girl a golden key
What was RUSS mumbling while Vicki was talking!!
Very nice video, great content
Well said Miss Vicky!
Jeremy, lot of people May blame you for filming Otter Creek’s chaos, but I think if you didn’t do that they would still be in the mess they were in.
Why is this town so scared of cameras? We all live with cameras around our lives whether we like it or not.
I saw hope for the first time in all this chaos. The people who care are starting to make their voices heard and the corrupt ones are becoming silent. Hold an emergency meeting, vote Don and Russell off the board, and put in 2 temporary people until elections are held. That is a real emergency! Vicky, you need to be in front of the camera, because you are what the town of Otter Creek needs as representation.
Vicky a presence about her with strength and common Sense it's what this town has been missing for so long it appears people have made this town their own piggy bank and that's when corruption will set in when nobody is held accountable people run amok and thank the township is their own and there's no other way but that's one-sided thinking. And that never works in a Republic
Vicki was speaking the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. The town people should vote Vicky in when Russ and Don are gone. The town needs her. Like a body needs blood to survive. At the moment these a bit of bad blood. The town of OC will become stronger again.
We are not laughing at the whole town. We laughing at some people that aren’t honest. We are here for otter creek.
Did anyone else notice that when Vicky was saying her piece, Russ was not paying any attention or showing her any respect? He is a real work of (bad) art. What a jerk. And why is Don so worried about the information given to the state? Is he worried there is something that may incriminate him? For someone so concerned about those 6000 emails you would think he would be at Town Hall helping sort through all the mess left by Mary and Russ. I understand the people not wanting to be exposed and embarrassed by the filming but if I was a resident I would put that aside and work to help fix the many problems they are facing. Anyways, be safe on your travels George and Jeremy. Thanks for the video!😁✌💲
I find it odd that Mr Fuller never said one word about how Russ ran the meetings when he was getting paid. Now he has something to say about everything as a non resident and is off Russes payroll. So many questions……
I think Mr fuller is there to cause issues and helping russ
Sounds like Don is wanting to know what the authorities have on him so he can get his story straight that's why he wants to know what they have. And also so russ can do the same
Yes he is stressed about that subject only he could care less about anything else .
Mr Fuller is like a broken record
The dramatic remarks of “I’m scared” are ridiculous. What EXACTLY are you scared of? If you want to be friends with your neighbor, why does a camera change that? The lack of logic is senseless. The corruption has been eroding the town for decades and now that a light has been put on it, the cameras are blamed and NOW people can’t go anyone without being scared? Why weren’t you scared when your town was being destroyed and no one spoke up? So you go to Walmart and someone films you? So what? I haven’t seen any public videos of anyone shopping at Walmart? The only thing I see is the repeated disruption of every single meeting by Russ and Don, yet your fear is shopping at Walmart and being seen? Focus on the REAL problem - get rid of Russ and Don.
The town has a festiring wound of corruption and Russ and Don are at the center of it. Well to treat a wound like that you have to cut out the corruption (voting them out) and move forward with healing all the while keeping the wound clean (oversight on all parties in the counsel by the watchful eyes of the residents).
Well said, get rid of Russ and Don 👏👏👏👏
There is zero expectation of privacy when one is in a public place. You don't want to be filmed in your jammies picking out wine? Then you can put on real clothes.
BTW, I suspect most big box stores have video going all the time. So if you're in Walmart or Albertsons or Krogers or Lowes, smile and wave. You're being recorded.
wondering if Gail might have been involved in the corruption and she might be "scared" as they are getting close.
I believe George and Jeremy are victims of the previous council. If you want to cast stones cast them at the culprits. Russel and Mary. They are guilty as sin! Don always acting like a child. He makes me so angry. He knows there was no letter he just wants to hear himself talk. He keeps repeating himself as if he's trying to make his point that SOMEONE told him there was a letter! We know him so well! Shut it Don! 😂
Drug abuse will mess with a person’s head and make them not be able to grasp the concept of things! I agree that Don loves to hear himself talk about absolutely nothing!
17 minutes.... my head hurts. How hard is it to understand that you can't make a request for a document that doesn't exist?
Don seems to be entering the realm of dementia
I am sick of them crying about a camera and filming and acting like it's something new. Yall need to cut the bull💩 and grow up. Jeremy and George have brung nothing but blessings and the help yall needed. You all have been at each other for years and not getting along with each other stop the act. Russell, Mary and Don were treating yall any way they felt like it and nobody said anything but when someone comes and clean up the town yall are not happy. Stop acting like they walk around behind yall recording you they are not. If it wasn't for Jeremy all that money would be gone cause Mary and Russell didn't do what was needed. Yall lost your contract with the fire department but thanks to Jeremy catching Russ and Mary and yall getting a new council president and her and the people she has making a plan and figuring out a deal yall wouldn't have anything. Stop blaming the camera and do what needs to be done to help build your town.
I added statements that were made by Thomas Collins to half the residents to the town
Your personal life did pertain to the issues at hand
You claim you were afraid of being filmed, going to your neighbors, etc...
Yet, the person filming you and your neighbors claims he's in an intimate relationship with you
That's hypocrisy coming from you
Oh my , Mr Fuller, BS meter off the scale. Done, so done, where is the attorney general?
This is sad that good people are being put in the limelight due to the corruption in their town. I was working for the County of Orange in Calif. when it went bankrupt and the media was ridiculous. I was asked question by camera crews and death and bomb threats were a constantly going on. Mind you I didn't work in the treasury department that mishandled the money. It effected everyone and their position due to massive layoff and shift changes. It amazes me that Don, Russell and Mary have no conscience of the chaos they have created in this small town. I also find it refreshing that you and Goerge stand up to all this corruption and that gives me great hope that there are good people in this world that will not bend and retreat from the evil doing of others. Stand strong and tall my friends. You two are always in my prayers. Vanessa
I miss the OC...especially Huntington Beach... I knew that this was evetually going to happen...but didn't realize it would be within my lifetime... It's sad to hear about this Bout the county of my birth...
Only when Russ and Don are off the council will Otter Creek get on the right track.
Amen!
I don't always agree with you Jeremy but I totally agree with you on the victimization things.
The camera doesn't make people ridiculous, it only records their ridiculousness.
Although I do wonder about something.
They always say the camera adds fifteen pounds.
When I watch Don I wonder, is it possible the camera subtracts 15 IQ points?
😂🤣😆😉lol!
How is it this man know so much charter procedure stuff now, but sat at the end of a table silent FOR YEARS plus does NOT reside in this town. 😮😮😮😮😠😠😠
Shut him up and sit him down!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮
So many people crying about how they wish it would be, but won't call out the ones who actively work to destroy any chance of that.
...get brave, and remove the trash-personalities.
After watching this one I truly believe that both don and ross are guilty of something because they're freaking out now
I really think there is more than fraud, corruption, misuse of money going on.
I love Don said I like to be consistant, Yeah a consistant jerk. And he said he was talking to zim about the letter, If he was talking business to another council member outside of the meeting, that is illegal, our council member got jail time for that
ILL SAY IT AGAIN!!! JEREMY ASKED OVER AND OVER AND OVER.. JUST DO THE RIGHT THING!!! Stop blaming JEREMY who is the real victim....
You got that right!!!!
Exactly. Gail and others were out of line with that.
To Gail, you have are what Otter Creek needs, someone that cares about their town, that doesn’t have a hidden agenda. I can only imagine the heartache you are having seeing your town go through this, but you and several other people on the board are on the right track to bring life back to your town. As you said, the rain will end and you and the good people of Otter Creek will be the sunshine to help it grow again. Don’t give up now, you’re part of the team that will bring Otter Creek back
This really hurts to watch two grown, greedy, stupid and ignorant men, trying to sabotage the freaking place that they live!!! 😡
Make this make sense!!
I grew up in a small town. Many Families would gather somewhere and dishes were brought to pass for a big picnic. Kids played. Adults played Horse shoes. Women had fun playing cards or board games. I’m 59 and I still play cards and board games with neighbors.
I would refuse to see Love die, while hate wants to live!!!💔💔
Fuller didn't say crap when he was sitting at the table and getting paid with Russ. Now he has a lot to say.
Oh my word Mr Fuller doesn’t live in odder creek and never sad one word when Russ was mayor !!
I'm sorry but Fuller is a hypocrite.
I, as a public citizen am not laughing or making fun of Otter Creek. I know the same things happen in other locations. It is sad, not funny!
Finish cleaning out the office and town.
My heart goes out to all the folks that just want a peaceful existence in OC and I hope one day soon they can all have it. Corruption ran deep for a very long time and it's gonna take time to clear it all out and have a fresh start full of people who do.care about the town and the townspeople. I wish you all the best. Sincerely
I am from the uk. When you get rid of the virus the town can breathe again and grow stronger with each other. I can't remember Russ not saying a word in the town meeting. It's like the cats got his tongue. If Don was the same as Russ it would been a great meeting. I know their's a lot of people who don't like the filming. But when Russ and Don are gone from the top table. There probably be one camera filming the meeting's just for record's.
Everybody should film their government for accountability they make the outcome
The best possible way to communicate in a meeting is first to pursue positive activities. Then allow rebuttal if any. Then allow attendees to present any concerns. No cross-talking, no interruptions. Then the meeting will advance a lot more smoothly and progress will happen. Cross-talk only serves to create argumentative chaos which inhibits any productive results.
You are so right. That happens all the time in small towns. Get out the wrong people and it will be a neat little town without all the dishonest people. Lots of luck praying for you all 😊
I'm not laughing at the People of Otter Creek. I Pray for Otter Creek. I'm Glad Jeremy showed us these videos. Hopefully other towns will look into corruption in their towns. Thanks Jeremy.
i have comment about otter creak but never laughed at them or about them honestly i pray for them and as far as what the Hales family i have supported y'all from the beginning and that is the bottom line , i don't think everyone is laughing at them honestly i believe its more of a shock to see how grown adults are acting like 5-6 yr olds , im one of the people that are for otter creek and bottom line is the town will stay defied until people understand and come together as a whole , to work together and the one thing i hate is some of the things y'all delt with you are great people with large hearts and way better then me because if i had to deal with this let me say it would be way worse , i just pray that the people see the truth and wake up and come together because it takes a army to build a town not one person, always saying no to everything and always fighting against what the town needs is never going to help
1) No right to privacy in public per Supreme Court. As long as you are in a place you are allowed to be.
2) Federal law Smith v. Cumming secures the right of citizens to film public officials (Florida, Alabama, and Georgia) in the execution of their duties.
3) My wife and I are not laughing at you. We pray the corruption is exposed and brought to light. We wish the best for your community.
Instead of Russ listening to what Vicky had to say he talked the whole time. To say Russ is Rude and disrespectful is an understatement. But hey what else can you expect of a narcissist
As for Don he lives in his own universe
Concede basic rights to others, but only as long as it doesn`t make me personally "uncomfortable". Then rather back to lies and corruption 😉
Feelings are not law and this is the price Americans have to pay for the so called "Liberty". Don`t accuse the messenger/discloser of years of corruption (in which you participated) just because it hurts your feelings. End of story
Congratulations, you win this comments section. Doing the right thing is sometimes uncomfortable and to suggest things were better before cameras and legal requests forced needed accountability to simply do the right thing was somehow "comfortable" is what the world is noticing. We need more of this at every level not less because its "uncomfortable".
#replay 🙋♀️ Hello Ms. George, Jeremy & Everyone. I am not laughing at the town , i feel sad for the town because they just let the crooked ones walk all over them. And some just don't want to open their eyes to it. I love a lot of people there, but the crooked ones needs to go for the sake of the town's people.
I'm so sorry Jeremy and George that you have to go back to this town. I feel sorry for the town folk but there are some people on there council that ABSOLUTELY need to be GONE. Mr Fuller needs to sit down and close his mouth
These people have made fools of their self's, by turning a blind eye of what has happened in this town.
Don does not want to pay for the emails
Might need to do a foia request on Mr fuller if had in involvement with the permits denials and knew, I pull his phone records he sat with the board Jeremy
This guy is pissing his pants..... That is why he wants the "letter".
