Walton County loses In Federal Court

[John G]

"More specifically, one of the Commissioners, Cecilia Jones, stated that: [she] would like to direct staff towork with Mr. Theriaque in coming up with some kind of action, some kind of plan to bring back to us[regarding beach access]."


The above statement was taken from a Federal Judges Ruling.

Wow, if anyone votes this fraud back into office, you might be considered a conspirator.

All the $$$ that will be spent on this comes from this remark.

Love that County D&O Insurance Policy!!!

The County has a multi million dollar budget, so the money didn't do them any good! They LOST!

The BCC have unlimited money! They just have to raise taxes. 1/2 penny here, 1/2 penny there. Taxes that are used to litigate against the property owners who spend their hard earned money that pay most of the taxes in south Walton. Wonder how much infrastructure the BCC could have paid for instead of this litigation and attorney fees paid to Theriaque? How much you want to bet the BCC will just try to reword the ordinance to try again?
Problem is it's not the BCC's money. What do Commissioners care? It's the tax payers money. If the BCC looses litigation, each BCC member should have to paid 10% each (total 50%) of the County legal expenses, court costs, and fees. Just like the property owners have to spend their own money to defend their constitutional rights. Then maybe the BCC would think about the how they vote and be accountable in real terms.

About 20 miles or 75% of Walton littoral beachfront property is privately owned to the MHWL. I know it makes too much sense but shouldn’t Walton BCC/TDC mark the 6 miles of publicly owned property and north/south beach access lanes to the MHWL? Then by default the other 75% is private. Walton already marks 50% of the public beach fronts now for vendor use areas. Of course only the vendors know where those public areas are. But the key is for the TDC to educate the public with their $20 MILLION a year in taxes where the public beaches are, that the public is on private property outside the marked public areas, to respect private property and constitutional rules, then ENFORCE the rules.

Cecilia is only a puppet for the GANG. She says what they tell her to. She has the bran of an ant.

I don't disagree with anything you said. We have got to VOTE THEM OUT!

I think you give her far to much credit in the brain department!

That makes so much sense and it would cut down on the need for so many signs! We need a movement for this idea.

If we are talking constitutions, the Florida Constitution provides that the area below the mean high water line on the beaches is held in trust by the state "for all the people."

 

[Bob Hudson]

That’s true but in some cases that line in in the gulf.

I have heard that, and I have heard that in some places there may be an area as much as 300 feet in depth that is available for use by the public seaward of privately-owned property.
