Come on, commissioners, give us a break!

Reading the editorial, it sounds like someone at the Sun has some land they want developed, and can't get it approved.

Otherwise, I would have to agree with everyone else - how many more vacant residential and commercial properties do we need in a recession?

Bay County reduced their fees? IF that is true (I thought I heard that they increased the fees), I'm sure it has nothing to do with St Joe's future developments coming into Bay County. (sarcasm off)

They did raise them several years ago, I have yet to hear of any reduction. Doesn't matter what the fees are. JOE will continue to get breaks if they install all of the infrastructure as planned. Not too many developers build all of the roads, install utilities, and build out public buildings like schools. Most if your lucky will set aside land for a new school to be built at the tax payers expense.

They reduced impact fees 50% about 8-12 months ago.
