Is there a commissioner for "all" the SoWal Residents?

There's what, a half a dozen candidates running for district 5 commissioner, is there one who will represent all SoWal, not just 30A?

I think that question requires someone to come up with what are the common issues. So far, I have only seen one commissioner candidate intensely scrutinized in this forum. Others seemed to be taking part in some sort of a lovefest and do not appear to be required to state their positions on important issues. But that may be just the way I am reading things.

There should be two SoWal Commissioners. District 5 and District 1. Then, the District 5 Commissioner wouldn't be so overloaded and could concentrate on West SoWal and District 1 would be available to handle East SoWal.

But again, that nasty requirement of setting up districts has prevented that from occurring so far. I think that she was trying to point out that the next Dist 5 commissioner needs to be concerned with more than just one stretch of road.

Yes, the Miramar Beach and Sandestin area is the largest precinct in the county and has many issues that need attention. The Santa Rosa precinct is also large and has its unique issues. So much is going on in SoWal, it really is a huge job. We've heard what Cindy Meadows thinks on many issues. Not so much from anyone else.

And who would that be? Meadows did a poor job representing the people I know.

Could you give a few specific examples?

Seems like we should have 3 In SoWaL- 1 for west of 30A and 2 for 30a.

And what makes you guys so special? Maybe we should have one for each city, your three, and one for east rural, one for west rural, one for the Gaskin area since it is not a city.

Why the need for all the commissioners? They set policy and budgets. Not like they go out there and dig the ditches themselves.

I second this request. I think she has done a very good job all the way around and has been extremely responsive when something is brought to her attention or a request is made of her. And, no, you didn't always get what you wanted regardless of who you were.
