Whoa SJ....you snuck in there before I finished my hang in there post for those of us waiting for your report! I need to read it again. Thanks so much for putting us before your tummy!

No problem, Guiness is not just for breakfast anymore.

Thanks Kurt and SJ for your reports! I am only a visitor to the area but it is so special to our family that we were praying that they would fix this dark sand/dirt problem. It was a terrible mistake...glad that is how they finally saw the error of their ways.

Seems to me that one error was the lack of proper checking of the dirt placed onto the beach. The Commissioners stated that they only set the policy, and the Code Enforecment and County Engineer is in charge of administering the policies. Cindy Meadows was the only Commissioner that noticed the dirt was indeed dirt and not sand, so I cannot say that the Commissioners admitted to anything. In fact, Ro, bless his heart, denied any wrong doing whatsoever, and is still convinced that the way things were done forever, is still the best way. He states that since the dirt was already aprroved and dumped, that it is okay, and that all is fine. I say we ... I change my mind, and am not saying anything.

Thanks for all of you who sent emails and wrote letters to get this meeting called to order. It is sad that the County has such a half-a_s way of communicating with its people. This meeting was fully attended by only word of mouth, so many people were unaware of it. The County has much potential for implementing better ways of doing things. By the way, Kurt hinted at running for political office, only if he had a gong to help with conducting such meetings.

I still would have not have picked him out of a two-person line-up. Well, maybe if Ed Berry were the other person with shovel in hand. :clap_1:

I spotted you out of a line up of 200. :shock:

Although 1/2 were women and quite a few were elderly, and some were elevated with name plaques, and some had uniforms, and some had their names stitched over their pocket, and some were not smiling.

I'll second that But from all the postings, I had just assumed they were old friends!

Thanks to all of you who postponed dinner to stick it out for what I'm sure was a long 3.5 hours! Sounds like the meeting was a great success...wish I could have been there. I'm sure the magnitude of folks who were there in support of saving our pristine beaches sent a strong message to the powers-that-be in Walton County! :clap_1:

Now we just need to figure out how to get Ro Cutchens out of office! Sounds like he may just have an agenda of his own that takes priority over the best interest of the county!

Thanks again to all who tot this thing going and attended...you're the best

One guy spoke up and complained that he couldn't keep up with any news or official info, and did the county know of, or have a website for that sort of thing.
