Hello Sowal!
I can’t believe my log in still worked after all these years! I wanted to reach out to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Sarah, and I am running for Walton County Commissioner Seat #5. My husband has always called me a nerd, so that’s where Snerd came from.
Born in Massachusetts, I grew up in Dune Allen, then later lived on Moll Dr what’s now part of Helen McCall Park, where my father had his auto-repair shop for many years. I think my grampa and his basset hounds were the first golf cart on 30-A back in the 1990’s. My great aunt started the first ambulance service in Santa Rosa Beach. My husband and I moved up to Black Creek around 2005 and had the time of our lives living the creek life until 2012 we moved to Miramar to be closer to work.
I registered Republican in Walton County District 5 on February, 14, exactly twenty years ago tomorrow! I have long held conservative values, but unlike the R stereotypes, I try to be as environmentally minded as possible, with exceptions, I love my SUV too much. :|
I’ve been saving local companies money “behind the scenes” most of my career. I’ve worked locally for about 21 years at large resorts in rental accounting/ F&B, and most recently 7 years as the Controller for Wine World. I’ve identified cost savings of just cents on products that resulted in tens of thousands in savings when applied to usage. I’ve studied many FL Statutes and feel my experience in corporate, financing, and legal experiences, mixed with my personal real estate and building experience, and commercial building would be beneficial in the decision-making for our county. I am also very environmentally minded and in my office we work as efficiently as possible, and always aim to save time and money.
I'd like to invite you to friend and follow me on Facebook and I’m just now getting my website put together, but will be posting there more also. I’m not a professional politician, but I’ve been in tune with real estate and watched others’ money my whole life, and I’m read to step it up and really make a difference!
Best regards,
Sarah Moss

Maybe we could build a free standing ER in the state forest?Ambulances are kind of like ER's on wheels.

As someone who has waded through traffic making my way to a medical emergency, mine is based on experience. Yours is based on?
Mine? Mine what? Your opinion on whether a road should be cut through the state forest?
Close relatives that are paramedic, fire captain/batt chief, MD (ER/Internal Med), RNs, so I am aware of EMS topics. But this is entirely beside the point in regards to the county cutting a road through the state forest.
As it stands now, any east 30A calls will be responded to by Watercolor Station, correct? Is Walton County assuming that one day the Bay County West End station will start helping with calls in the ever increasing congestion and ever increasing density of east end 30A?
ARE there plans by the county to add a fire station to the Southeastern corner of the county? I have not seen any. Yet, a new school has been built, Watersound is growing, Inlet Beach is getting built out. There seems to be little attention or discussion about the needed fire station on east end of 30A and it's all about "we gotta cut a road through the state forest". Classic Walton County blindness to needed infrastructure.
The "road through the forest" discussion is all about, as stated by others, developers increasing value for the properties.

Isnt St. Joe planning on an urgent care on 98 at Watersound?

Mine? Mine what? Your opinion on whether a road should be cut through the state forest?25 years providing fire and EMS services to the residents and guest of South Walton. Walton County won't be providing a fire station in south Walton as the residents south of the bay have their fire and EMS by an independent taxing district, South Walton Fire District. There is currently 5 fire stations operated by South Walton Fire District. Inlet Beach, Seagrove, 393, Mack Bayou, Miramar Beach.

Isnt St. Joe planning on an urgent care on 98 at Watersound?What do you believe the capability of an urgent care facility is?

What do you believe the capability of an urgent care facility is?Good question and isn’t it correct the proposed St. Joe location is not an urgent care facility? If true let’s hope they reconsider.

Good question and isn’t it correct the proposed St. Joe location is not an urgent care facility? If true let’s hope they reconsider.To be honest, based on what Kurt just posted, sounds more like a doctors office. There is an urgent care in Inlet east of the Donut Hole. But again, not an ER.
Because this is Ms Moss Commissioner run I don't want to turn this from her campaign. I apologize for the hijacking of it.

But again, not an ER.Did not realize there was an urgent care out there. I have used and been pleased with the one near me many times over the years. Living in Miramar Beach I have the Urgent Care, Sacred Heart Hospital, and the new Destin ER all within 3.5 miles or less.

I use Doc in boxes and Urgent Cares when I can't get an appointment to see primary care, which seems to be more difficult all the time.

Sorry to hijack your thread Sarah. Hope you can help get an affiliated ER out that way. Good luck on your campaign.

Back on the thread...Sarah I hope you win District 5.

Welcome to Walton politics.
I will say this, regardless of political party, I will not support a candidate who has begun the sign litter race. Please familiarize yourself with Florida campaign law and relocate or remove the many illegally placed signs currently in Miramar Beach. You cannot just distribute them as you see fit and placing them on right of ways and public land is a violation of the law.
Thank you for your consideration.

Code enforcement won't touch campaign signs since they fall under different guidelines.

Go nuts man.I reached out to the company, politely asked. We will see how that goes.

331 and 98, and by the way not opposed to signs, personally think it might be to early.Soon enough there will be all signs all the time. A precedent has been set that you never stop rallying, never stop collecting, never stop campaigning. Politics has become a growth industry with more money at stake than almost anything else. And as protected and as sacred as religion. The foxes done ate all the chickens and now their hungry eyes are on you and yours.
