Beaches Of South Walton TDC agrees to support customary use of beaches

[BeachSiO2]

I thought this may be of interest from yesterday's TDC meeting.

....."In the past, customary use had been for all types of things," said McGee. "Anything from having a bonfire to running cattle was defined as customary use. It's time for county commissioners to say, yes, the public has a right to customary use of our beaches and draft an ordinance protecting these rights."
McGee believes that tourism will be directly impacted if customary use isn't fully defined.
"What is at stake here is money brought into the county in tourism dollars," he said.....

Hells yeah McGee!!! That's how to get things done!

And how can we vote this guy out? :roll:
"Board member, Don McQuade, questioned individual property rights, versus allowing public access to all beaches. "I don't agree with McGee's position," McQuade said. "If I purchased a $5 million home on the beach I wouldn't want just anyone having a picnic on my beach."

Mr. McSpecial has a superiority complex that is not very becoming.

There were people using our beaches before Jesus walked on water.
