Is there a commissioner for "all" the SoWal Residents?

Lets see, the dog fly plane was one good example, placing street signs, ie stop signs without engineering studies or following the federal mandates is another. And what about the proactive code enforcement? And let's not forget the cats on leashes ordeal, or the spay/neuter ordinance. On the flip side, what about the widening of 331, or affordable housing?

Were all these issues 4-1 votes? Who made the motion, second, who abstained or was absent? Who never commented in public one way or the other?

Better yet, fg, I know about the dog fly plane but wth are you talking about with cats on leashes and a spay/neuter ordinance?

I believe we should have a spay/neuter ordinance, but I don't remember one being brought up. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I think I would have jumped on the wagon for that one.

Cats on leashes! :rofl:

I know the hilarious reality of trying to get a cat on a leash or to move once it's on, but fail to see what is wrong with the idea that animals should be restrained in some way when they are outside their own yards/homes or spayed/neutered.

I tried to put a cat on a leash once, that was hilarious! My beef, is the recession/depression going on currently, that apparently doesn't affect certain folks on 30a, that is the expense involved, and the lack of concern about said recession.

Oh gosh, I think the recession is hitting 30A pretty hard. I actually think it's hitting 30A harder than other areas.

I've never seen so many people pile into houses in my life...It's like clowns in a phone booth around here, but the people aren't eating in restaurants or buying things in a shop. They're piling into houses to save money, and cooking instead of going out.

That's hurting everyone...this is a tourist based economy.

With that said, I don't know how much a county commissioner can do about a recession.

I just worry about how the county will handle the abandoned properties.

 

[seagrovegirl]

I thought the restaurants were pretty full...all week and especially on weekends.

It is irritating to me the apparent lack of concern for all of Walton County residents, during this difficult time. Instead of creating more codes with monetary fees, penalties, expenses, they need to focus on issues alleviating it's citizens.

Spaying/neutering animals saves $ in the long run.

What exactly do you want them to do? Set up a soup kitchen at the annex? All of those fees BTW are what help PAY for the programs.

Forgive my lack of humor about the recession/depression that supposedly isn't affecting me in the slightest - all the #$*%@* feral cats get frisky and interrupt my sleep during full moons. :roll:

I am so sick of the feral cats. The neighborhood I live in puts them out on purpose. It's so nasty and inhumane.
