What was the result of this 2016 study? It seemed to have identified a primary concern back then.... A Better South Walton

Website: A Better South Walton – It's Worth the Effort Bob, A bi partisan group was formed several years ago (2014) to create The Town of South Walton. Three districts, two city commissioners per district and an mayor. All representatives have to live full time in South Walton for South...

Yes this was it. Was talking to someone who had mentioned the County but meant the city. Got lost in translation. Thanks

Ordinary citizens know that all of this was done to gain control over our own destiny, improve our community and quality of life, and keep our beaches free for all to enjoy. To suggest anything else is false. A pathetic attempt to vilify people to mask your own greed. The incessant drumbeat of...

...BPO’s? What PLANTIFF group has also targeted and vilified defendants on social media? Who do you think founded a group called "A Better South Walton", whose main purpose is to incorporate? It may not be who you think it is. Last question. Who profits the most by doubling the tourists to 8...

By DOTTY NIST Bob Brooke has been elected to take the helm as Walton County Taxpayers Association (WCTA) president, and the organization’s board of directors has welcomed two new board members, Randy Powers and Jim Bagby. The WCTA held its annual meeting on Jan. 17 in the Grimaldi Room at...

Has anybody heard about this? On the site of the former proposed Hampton Inn just west of the Eastern Lake bridge. Sounds bigger than the Hampton Inn proposal. Public Hearing Notice 12/18 posted in the NWF Daily News and mentioned on A Better South Walton's facebook page: n/m - here is the...

This makes me think -if this is the kind of stuff you can expect for a city incorporated in 1901 (Freeport) or like Destin in Okaloosa County I can only imagine the shenanigans after incorporating a new city of South Walton(?) advocated by the likes of some of the A Better South Walton. Not...

A Better South Walton – It's Worth the Effort :dunno:

Pleat is an attorney; enough said. David Pleat is a director on “Better” SoWal. His photo is between Dave Rauschkolb and Jacquee Markel; two of the leading customary-take advocates. The Team – A Better South Walton Pleat represents Rose Mary Beach, so far unsuccessfully. But talking about ironic...

Simple honest answer @earl. Because people care about how their taxpayer dollars are spent. No gimmick, no game, just simple, open honest government operated in the Sunshine. Why are you opposed to that?

Just curious to how y'all have so much time to evolve your selves in this county ...But yet none are on the commission board ....well one maybe. But why what do you do in this county that isn't effected by what is going on . Are you a beach vendor? Do you have a reality company that is...

NORTHWEST FLORIDA DAILY NEWS Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Posted at 6:17 PM By Tom McLaughlin SANTA ROSA BEACH — Leaders of the movement to incorporate South Walton County have decided to wait until 2018 to push for the state's permission to hold a referendum to decide the matter. "We feel we...

The article outlines all the reasons A Better South Walton is failing. No one is looking at establishment of our own Law Enforcement, Courts and other areas. We pay about 50% of our taxes to WCSO and I don't believe we get that amount of representation from them, man power wise. I'd favor a...

As Teresa mentioned in the original thread regarding the First Responders (Sounding the Alarm) this has nothing to do with SoWal. They have pretty up to date Stations with the proper equipment and are run very efficiently. This is however about what people could have in North Walton if we all...

Are you talking about ABSW group proposing it's own police force?

A Better South Walton might get more support if they actually came out in opposition to some of the issues that appear to be of substance in SoWal. Customary Use is a hot topic and it doesn't help that there is controversy with one of their members in favor of it and in the past, actively spoke...

A Better South Walton – It's Worth the Effort :clap:

Beach Vendors will be a huge revenue driver for HOA / COA's that "own" their beach. They pay these Associations big $$$ to vend on their beaches. Why don't we have business licenses? Do we not want to know who is collecting revenue off of the beaches? After all, we all own them right...

Most of us remember this nonsense the first go around, thankfully it failed. I too have heard rumblings this may resurface again, but not to the extent of your comment. Perhaps they just tipped the hat and it will give those opposed (many), more time to fight it. I wonder how either of the...

A Better South Walton (ABSW) has updated the location details for one of its upcoming town hall meetings. The two town hall meetings, designed to educate and engage the local community in discussions surrounding incorporation, will be held in Miramar Beach next week, Monday, November 14th and...

A Better South Walton (ABSW) is pleased to announce the next stage of incorporation has begun with the submission of the completed charter to the Florida State Legislature. Creation of the charter began several months ago as part of the overall decision to explore solutions for the rapid...

A Better South Walton (ABSW), a volunteer organization dedicated to seeking more effective governance and local representation for South Walton, is holding charter workshops to gather community feedback on the recently released charter summary and its impact on the proposed municipality of South...

I see. Rereading Danny Glidewell post indicates to me that he was giving an opinion of a person or persons who support Commissioner Meadows, not necessarily based on facts, just as you did. Is the above quote also based on opinion? If not, can you please break it down for me by each section...

Wait just a minute. My post stated that some people have the perception that there is a group that will back any kind of development that makes them money. I did not say that was my opinion. But do you really think that many people in South Walton do not feel this way? MY opinion is that...

I have not seen anything from Anderson about development except him saying he wants to save land so we don't overdevelop S Walton... Also, a big "developer" threw a party for Cindy Meadows and raised her lots of money. Where's the outrage? Bottom line is developers give money in all local...

What is infant structure?

Because it's his opinion not based on facts. We all know incorporation is about money it's not about infant structure or making a better South Walton. How can Danny say that Tony supporters are backing any kind of development in the South End? Is there a news article on this? Did he talk to one...

just a few questions to think about.... “The citizens could expand their revenue capacity very easily,” the study says, but the decision has been made to forego implementing utility taxes, franchise fees, communications services taxes and business taxes." How so we expand revenue capacity other...

... Story Continued Nuts and bolts Talk of incorporating all or a portion of South Walton has been around since before the turn of the last century. The latest rumblings began early last year, when controversy arose over the proposed construction of a Hampton Inn on County Road 30A, where...

Could South Walton become its own municipality? A Better South Walton is taking its case for incorporation to the people. Armed with a 23-page feasibility study and a summary of what a municipal charter might look like, the advocacy group embarks this week on a mission to sell cityhood to...

A Better South Walton – It's Worth the Effort I really don't know much about the group but I know this is the natural next step in the evolution of a community that needs to step out of the rural shadows of good ole boy ways of doing things. And yes any goverenment has problems but a fresh...

A Better South Walton, the group behind incorporating the 26-mile-long piece of land known locally as South Walton, has released a summary of its proposed charter. “A charter is the bylaws of a new city’s basic structure, and the second step required towards incorporation,” said the group’s...

@Misty These orgs don't have control over facebook algorithms. In other words, facebook is deciding what you see related to other people and groups you are connected to.

Looked at the Our Generation page just now and surprise surprise T. Anderson's image has been removed. But what's in its place? PEOPLE ALSO LIKE Like A Better South Walton Organization Well Dave, they are sure making it look like ya do.

Thanks for pointing this forum to your donor list. I'm having difficulty figuring out how the info provided funds a $102, 000 budget (assuming that is correct) for ABSW. Would you provide some insight on that?

I wasn't creating an "affiliation". I simply remarked on the similarities of both..

ABSW has no affiliation with the anonymous political organization, Our Generation. For the record ABSW released it's Donor list over a month ago on our website. Only 5 donors in the $500 and up range wished to remain anonymous and much of the money raised came from smaller donations. Here is...

The same MYSTERIOUS DONORS who are supporting OUR GENERATION perhaps? If they decline to release the names of donors could it be because they really don't know(?)...just as NO ONE knows who OUR GENERATION IS AND WHAT THEY REALLY STAND FOR!

A big injection of mysterious money in local Walton County politics. Hmmm. What is different around here lately? Customary Use A Better South Walton A new neighbor with PAC connections. Hmmmmmm. :scratching:

This newsletter just went out from A Better South Walton. FYI for those who may be interested in volunteering for ABSW... Friends of South Walton - Thank you for signing up either online or at one of our community meetings to be an ambassador and community volunteer for A Better South Walton...

We need a better Walton County run by open honest government in THE SUNSHINE, for the people by the people. It's needed up here in the North too! :)

Yes, I could not agree more Suzanne.

Now we need a Better South Walton run by open honest government in THE SUNSHINE, for the people by the people.
