A Better South Walton Announces 3 community meetings in May...

A professional police department with a properly selected (based on qualifications and not GOB politics.. non elected) professional Police Chief in charge of South Walton public safety sounds ideal to me. I guess that's too much to hope for. Some day.

You are right on point with this.

My concern is "contracting" with WCSO to police SoWal will allow Sheriff Mike to profit from the area.

The staffing is thin right now as it is.

A professional Police Department / Public Safety Division would be ACCOUNTABLE to someone.

An Elected Sheriff is only accountable every four years and around here the good ole' boys run the show, so there is no accountability.

Based on the posts in the All About SoWal forum, from Roskhub about the "Roshkub Riot on the Beach" and community organizing to disrupt private property, I'm about done with that group (Better South Walton) and their one sided agenda.

We simply doomed.

I've accepted that.

A Better South Walton is filled with great local people working hard to find solutions and bring the community together. Sorry you're not feeling it!
 
The call to organize systematic Trespassing on Private Property is what did it for me.

True Agenda by a group that needs all the help and support it can get.

You don't do it like this, you haven't even Incorporated and you are alienating people with the Customary Use nonsense.
 
In light of SW's current and future struggles, I appreciate these meetings generating citizens interest & discussion of their community. So far, I am impressed by the information.
Does anyone have a link to "A Better South Walton" disclosure of donors? I searched the site but could not find a link.

I believe it will be important for all groups shaping public's opinion to fully disclose donors (above a small amount), as transparency is the foundation of any public organization. I might have missed the link or documentation, so if someone can direct me it would be helpful for everyone. Thanks.

A peaceful walk on the beach is nothing other than bringing much needed awareness to what is happening to our beaches right now. We don't have to be incorporated to get involved as great locals have always done. Incorporation is a different matter entirely. It's what happens to fast growing towns anywhere in the country.
 
Peaceful Walk?

It clearly advocates for violating property owners private property. I'm sure beach front owners will be prepared to document anything that is a violation.

When Mr. Roskhoub went on record with his March, he lost me as a supporter for A Better SoWal. He's one of the heads of that group. Call it guilt by association, but it doesn't matter.

Recognition of private property rights, beach or otherwise, is something that cant be violated.

A leader of a new Incorporation Movement should realize that and not attach himself to a controversial topic. Now he's the poster boy for Customary Use, bragging about how he'd love to tell his grandkids about being arrested for going to the beach.

Depending on who's property he "goes to the beach" on, he might have a chance to tell that story one day.

Poor judgement used by a community organizer.
