A Better South Walton Town Hall Meetings: Aug 23 & 25

New posts
I agree with Andy, this just doesn't make sense. Destin is millions in the hole. Can we not use our neighbor as an example? The county is just going to go along with funding most of this new city's needs in the form of interlocal agreements? Has anyone spoken to the county about that, because the article leads to me think there has been none. I have yet to hear anyone in Point Washington in favor of this.

Has there ever been a successful succession in Florida?

Actually yes, or the closest thing to it. That's why the Florida Keys is called the Conch Republic. Although mostly a joke, it did unite the locals against overreaching government. Maybe SoWal does the same? It's an interesting story that is still celebrated every year Conch Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave, I'm only one citizen but incorporation as it is now recommended is, in my mind, ludicrous. Let the cities that now exist incorportate. Leave rural areas such as mine in BMB out of it. Those to whom I have talked don't want to be included.

If you like the representation we get from the County and the way things are going then vote against it. I am pretty certain if you analyze the data we have collected you might change your mind. No tax increase; 7 South Walton residents fully engaged and focused only on South Walton issues. Better representation and more of a say on how our nearly 90% of taxes collected are spent. Our own planning and zoning and code enforcement. Same services we currently get from the county.

Maybe, But commissioner Jones also lost all the presicts south of the bay when she became a commissioner for District 5. The powers at be can only buy or influence so many votes. Education is the key. Once the people are educated and have had enough, lawyers and developers with bad intentions will be stripped of power. No one can make you do anything once you are in the voting booth. I really hate using the word developer as a bad thing because we have quite a few around here that have built beautiful compliant projects that add value to our community. But a few loud powerful and greedy ones have spoiled the punch.

And won all the south end districts to become District 2 Commissioner.

Dave I plan on attending and just want to know the location of the Rosemary Townhall, I am pretty sure I know but want to make sure. Thanks. I also want to make this very clear. Just because I am opposed to incorporation as it has been presented here, I do believe in self determination and a vote should be taken.

It is south of Scenic 30A on the south end of Barrett Square. It is the tall white building and it has a sign that says Town Hall on it. The post office is next to it on the left.
