Because the resorts are business entities that contribute much to our community and economy. They are good neighbors. Gulf front owners who kick people of their beach and put up chains are greedy bastards.

But where's the outrage from the Stand Your Sand Group, or a formal stance from A Better South Walton? They appear to be the same group, but not the same group. Why can the big resort communities get a "pass" and Gulf Front Owners get the hate? Time to streamline this argument and have it so...

Hello Sowallers! As a longtime resident of Sowal and recent temporary transplant to Michigan, I must say it's refreshing up here and entertaining when they complain about traffic a couple weekends a year when there is a race at the Michigan International Speedway. This is dairy country and...

I'm not one for more government...but it makes geographical sense. Especially considering the political and economic divide in Walton County.

I believe incorporating the entire area is best for the entire area. We are all in this South Walton town together. It really isn't what I want or prefer though. It's what makes sense for a growing town with each neighborhood community connected to the other. I've given time but not money to A...

Agreed

A Better South Walton has a 2016 Budget of $102,000 for its project to incorporate South Walton. They decline to release the names donors of $500.00 or more to the project. They should not hide their supporters ! The voters of South Walton should know who's driving this movement.

"Unfortunately, today there is trouble in paradise. 30-A has become so popular that, during the tourist season, traffic around some of the resorts is so bad that solving it has been declared the county’s top priority — which is remarkable because until now 30-A’s needs have not been high on the...

Regarding Beach access and use in Walton County: The fact is that up until a few years ago anyone and everyone in South Walton walked and played and set up chairs on any area of the dry sand without being harassed. As more and more tourists arrived this heated up and beach front homeowners got...

The results of our Survey and the entire Preliminary Feasibility Study is now available on our website for all of South Walton to view. Incorporating South Walton is entirely feasible according to the study and the experts. It is feasible without raising taxes, keeping our same services and...

Andy A, please hold on to something very steady. I agree with you.,,,,,,, especially if Dave and his "A Better South Walton" has anything to do with it.

Took the survey and it was very thorough covering many of the issues we face as a growing beach community pertaining to growth and infrastructure and future issues. I hope SoWal residents and homeowners will take the time to participate in the survey - only takes a few minutes... Take a look at...

As A Better South Walton explores ways to increase our voice with our Walton County decision makers, we want to hear from all of you. South Walton’s uniqueness is reflected by our diverse and vibrant communities from Inlet Beach to the east, to 30A and neighborhoods north of 98 in the middle and...

I was on the Board the first year, resigned but respect and will support everyone that is in our community

By definition the WCSBA is a "special interest" group. Its members have a special interest that follows its mission. The same is true for the SWCC, WCTA and A Better South Walton. The way each approaches its mission is determined by its Board of Directors.

Teresa, I support your activities in organizing people and working to improve things. There is a huge lack of understanding and insight among all groups in our county and we need to work to overcome that. Many people in the North support improving the beach accesses and parking. Many support...

Most people I've talked to are mainly concerned with what is best for this community. The tone really isn't the issue, we all have our reasons, issues, thoughts, opinions... as well as ways of expressing them. Creating A Better South Walton is the goal. The tone is personal, I suppose, and you...

I appreciate your contribution to the discussion Danny. The tone of A Better South Walton group and effort has been very positive as it looks forward to a bright future. Community members are volunteering a lot of time and energy into work, ideas, and possibilities. I've never seen a better...

Raising money for all the work needed including a new study it appears. The initial study draft was deficient according to The Florida League of Cities. This is the information I was given via email by Meg N. A Better South Walton reboots feasibility study Earlier this year a group of diverse...

A Better South Walton reboots feasibility study Earlier this year a group of diverse, dedicated and concerned citizens began a journey to explore solutions to some of South Walton County’s challenges. The prospect of a standard issue Hampton Inn in Seagrove on 30A shook us all. The community...

“Raising the dead” fundraiser for A Better South Walton Bud & Alleys Restaurant in Seaside, FL 5-8pm | $20 donation “Sometimes raising funds can be harder than raising the dead but when it comes to SouthWalton’s future, it’s worth the effort,” said Dave Rauschkolb, speaking on behalf of A...

Sun Chaser, very good points. It seems that here, our commissioners just don't give a rat's ass what 'stuff' looks like. I went to Kennesaw Georgia a few weeks ago and couldn't help but notice how manicured every street, shopping center, etc. looked, and plenty of trees! Then get back here to...

Thank you. South Walton should definitely look to other popular beach towns for expertise on good ideas, what works, what doesn't... When planning for growth and managing development. We also have some excellent resources in town to advise us such as outstanding architects and engineers with a...

Something to consider going forward, and this is just a small piece of the larger initiative: Have any of you ever been to Hilton Head Island, SC? When you drive around there you notice that all structures along the main roads are behind a certain amount of native brush and trees. I don't...

After much discussion and debate, the Walton County Taxpayers Association (WCTA) is backing an incorporation feasibility study for South Walton.Talks of incorporation were brought to light after the proposed development of a Hampton Inn along 30A caused much concern for residents in the area...

The TDC does more than just advertise to put heads in beds. They help fund events and while these are also to help bring visitors, locals benefit also. But more importantly are the maintenance of walkovers and beach cleaning. Also helping to fund lifeguards and Turtle Watch. I'm sure there are...

...so of whether there is a TDC at all, or can a vote be put before the people on the next voting opportunity? Would the group "A Better South Walton" be the best option to spearhead this, or someone else? Whatever the process, can we identify it and get it in gear? As things are now, the...

For Immediate Release Walton County Taxpayers Association Board of Directors Endorses Feasibility Study South Walton County residents are wondering if they would be better served by incorporating and creating a new city/town in Walton County. No one really knows the answer to this...

Jdarg has already mentioned trashy people in several of her posts. You seem to always know what is in the hearts and minds of people so please answer the question, why is there not ANY effort to increase the numbers of minority groups in South Walton.

Let's be clear, Misty. Your original post said that it was a statement from the South Walton Community Council. You edited that down to a poster posted something on the Better South Walton facebook page. There's a significant difference. Any flocking nutjob can put a post on anything they want...

I said... And it is still there!!

I see no trashy people comment on A Better South Walton Facebook page. There are very few posts or comments in general. Perhaps it was removed as it should be. And I'm betting it was a sarcastic comment made by someone who thinks they know the hearts and lives and minds of those who live and...

Let me please make a correction. It was not SWCC facebook page it was A better South Walton facebook page.

mputnal...let's be clear, I did not say that the A Better South Walton facebook page made the statement. I said it was a comment left by someone on the page. I didn't name that someone. The fact that it remained there long after it was posted is disturbing but it speaks volumes to the agendas at...

Really Teresa? Really? Then perhaps you can explain this comment left on the A Better South Walton Facebook page....and yes it is a quote!! That comment aside, I don't respect the Spring Breakers who come here to get drunk, show their asses or trash our beaches and would hope no one in Walton...
