I am sharing this important local's letter I just received via email. Please contact Governor Rick Scott to have your voice heard on this critical issue in Walton County...
Dear Walton County Citizens,
I am sending out this information as a public service announcement to those who live in our county and enjoy the use of the dry sand along our portion of the Gulf of Mexico.
As you are aware, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners passed and codified Customary Use in March of 2017. It is a short document and attached here for your pleasure reading:

Over the past few weeks, the Florida House and Senate have considered and passed legislation which will nullify Customary Use in Walton County. That legislation has now been sent to the governor's office for consideration and a signature making it law.
Many Walton Citizens will be pleased with the nullification of Customary Use. Other citizens may desire to call Governor Scott's office (850) 488-7146 or email at Email the Governor and voice their discontent and actively request that he veto the bill and allow Customary Use to continue in Walton County in order for all Citizens to have free use of the white sand as have the first people to inhabit this region of Florida, USA.
I thought you might want to know the current status of Customary Use in Walton County.
Regards,
Laurie Reichenbach

And you deny that Walton county beach front owners met with Governor Scott and made a SECRET DEAL?No secret deal. Gov. Huckabee probably is too busy with his Nashville TN TV show on TBN. Florida legislators and the Governor Scott saw through the BS from the Commissioner Tony Anderson and Surf Rider to ensure private property owners get due process in a court of law BEFORE BCC as Plaintiffs with the burden of proof declare customary use on 20 miles of private property.
I was at the secret meeting and Gov. Scott said he would not sign the bill
Even if the Gov did not sign the bill, 15 days after Gov. receives a bill it becomes law unless he vetos the bill.

Boomerang, I think FloridaBeachBum is having some fun with you and this whole secret meeting with Gov. Scott. Gov. Huckabee is an easy target for folks because he is well known. Who knows whether he had anything to do with the legislature approving or Gov. Scott signing. In any case, I know it is hard to believe, but property rights and due process may, in fact, have been the real "secret" behind all this.

OR, could it be that Rick Scott's house in Naples has a Naples public beach access, with parking, next to his beachfront house? Google Maps

Say what you will Mr. Huckabee - we never had any problem with beach front owners putting up signs and fences until the "new rich" got here.
I am not saying Walton county commissioners are not corrupt, that the TDC has ruined our beaches by over advertising, and the venders are totally out of control, but the no trespassing signs and fences were never put up until after the oil spill.
that Mr Huckabee is what started this whole fiasco.
