Why are you so bitter? Your post is mean spirited, imo.

Not bitter at all just old and tired of the continual onslaught and erosion of personal responsibility to be replace by poorly conceived and administered attempts to legislate behavior.

Mean spirited - - no just realistic concerning Barney, Goober and Gomer.

This still has the issue with private vs public property. It also turns the CE people into garbage collectors at 50,000 per year. They also do not have the staff to do this and handle all of the other complaints. Gonna be a hoot to watch them try.

As a resident of Walton County who obviously has a vested interest in the beaches and the private beach issue, what have you done in a constructive manner to make this situation better for everyone?

Being old doesn't give one license to be so bitter and to speak so ill of people--I am sure the Code Enforcement employees do not want this burden anymore than many of us want to see them stuck with it...

Can you think of anything constructive (a lawsuit usually isn't) that you and people who feel as you do, can do to add to the solution? Have you conveyed that to the county and TDC staff or the news media, if you have been ignored by the County.

Just wondering; I agree with Miss Kitty. In your many posts, bitterness seems to occupy a lot of space between the lines.

Perhaps you could contribute in a positive way?:idontno:

Nothing in the procedures or in any of the laws I have posted gives Code Enforcement the right to go on private property. So I doubt the net at Edgewater is affected. Those CE officers are educated and certified, we have had private property discussions in the past and they have told me that they could easily be arrested for trespassing and theft. So I doubt you will see them do anything other than clean up or tag the stuff on public land.

As for the money, I would imagine that the TDC employees and the education portion will be paid by the tourist tax. Code enforcement are paid out of ad valoreum, so this clean up project will more than likely result in at least a small tax hike. .25 mils is the rumor I keep hearing that they want to go up, with this it will probably go to .5 mils. Not a lot for me, and I am happy to contribute my little bit to make you guys happy, you wanted beach clean up, it appears things are going to be put into place for you to get it. So what would that be 150 dollars on a 300K home? I can never remember how to figure that stuff without a calculator.

Working is a burden? For all of us if you ask me. CE gets paid, more than most Sheriff's Deputies from what I have seen on average. And all work is optional, so if they do not like having to tag and bag stuff, they have other choices available. Maybe not palatable, but certainly available.

Robert, as usual, I have been unable to communicate my message in a way that you can understand it....

the burden is doing something that should be taken care of by other means, as you point out, the salary is not in line with the job description.

Sorry, I have been told that I am just a poor uneducated person who does not understand for so long that I think it is starting to take.
