I would like to encourage everyone to ready the letter in today's DeFuniak Springs Herald concerning the TDC Advisory Council . It was written by Don Riley President of the WC Taxpayers' Asoc.

I've heard that they have fixed wing units too. Seems wastefully extravagant for a poor county of only 75,000 people. Lots of bigger police departments don't fly at all. Fun might just be the operative word here. Let's cut funding for meals on wheels again and go flying. Does anybody have any...

Ha ! Andy I bet the tab for the liability insurance on these assets would nock your socks off. My question remains. What are these assets and how much do they cost? Simple questions that need to be answered before we can tell if this unit is cost effective.

The Herald reported this week that the Walton County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit found 1500 pot plants worth 3 million dollars. I don't know what is more astounding. That pot plants are worth $2000 or that our Sheriff has his own air force. What the heck is an aviation unit and how much is...

I got on the bus via Tom Wolfe's electric Kool-aid acid test back in 68? District 5 rd. dept. is on community way. Phone 267-2201.

Call the district 5 road department. They will take hazardous waste.

The last guy got canned and now this guy bugs out after a month. In between we sign up for a tax increase to pay for a 250 M bridge. Hmm. Very interesting!

Last weeks meeting was groundbreaking. Commissioner Cindy Meadows as chair of the TDC is starting a revolution in thinking about the role of the TDC. Leading the discussion into concerns about Quality vs Quantity and how the difference effects our lives. Should bed tax revenue - 11m last year...

As an outsider who has lived here since 1996 I can tell you that SWMC does an incredibly good job. The reason that we elect the board is that they are an independent agency. Not under the control of the county board. They are very responsive. Give them a call if you have a problem and see how...

Please define success and tell how much it cost.

Bottom line. How much would this cost "We the Taxpayer. "

Councilwoman Jones was very responsive to my request that the county not mow down the Wildflowers in front of my property. The road department even put up signs saying. "Wildflower area do not mow."We are very pleased at this step in the right direction.

The unprecedented personal attacks against Misty could be construed as a crude attempt to stifle dissent. Ideas should be allowed to sink or swim on the merits, not the poster's background. Some people prefer to remain behind the curtain. Fair enough. Protect your sources. It is up to you, dear...

No Bridge Necessary A short sighted, mediocre, lack of vision or a clear eyed view of Overextended Grandiosity? Take your pick and cast your vote on Tuesday April 24. The problem isn't with who or how this deal was made. The problem is with the deal itself. Since Kisela's first email our debt...

No Bridge Now If, as has been mentioned in a previous post, Greg Kisela in a Sept Email, initiated the idea to DOT, that Walton was willing to pay 75M for a new bridge; I would be very disappointed in our new county administrator. Look at our reality. Sowal has no community center. Our...

Yes it is still available and I'm trying to post photos from my album but haven't had any luck doing that. The instructions say to use the BB code But they don't say How to use it.:idontno:

Yes it is still available. It is N. of 98 on Indian Woman Rd. Last house on the right before you get to the bay. It's yellow stucco with a red roof. Tucked back 100 ft. or so into the woods so you have to look for it. I just put a for rent sign on the mail box to make it easier to spot. If...

Froggy, I sent you a PM. Feel free to call me at 585-3298 if interested . Thanks

Second floor of a secluded stand-alone duplex. 1000 sq ft with 10 ft ceilings and lots of windows. Built five years ago it has an open floor plan with large rooms and closets and new carpet. It also has a large covered porch overlooking your own woods. All Utilities plus cable and Internet are...

Cindy, Please reconsider!

rapunzel, Your quip " Commander And Chief " was very interesting and for me neatly illustrates a basic conflict between liberals and conservatives. Inherent in your statement is a wistful hope for a stronger President. One who has more power to control Chief Executive affairs in the domestic...

Hmm, I don't know about this. According to the ball field graph I'm at short stop. As a fan of Cal Ripkin I should be honored, but as a registered Republican I'm worried about these labels and this test. My score was 80/40. Can I be a Liberal and a Republican? I've always considered myself...

Before we 4 lane Chat Holly we should insist that all new development on 98 have their own slow down turn lanes. Cars slowing in the right lane to make turns really bogs traffic down. No more curb cuts without turn lanes! I still don't understand why they didn't put a right turn lane on the...

How are our Sheriffs elected? Is there a primary or is this a non partisan office? I'm really amazed that Johnson has so much money in his budget for aircraft. I would love to know how much his plane and TWO helicopters cost. Personnel,maintenance,insurance,hangers and fuel must add up to a...

First floor duplex secluded in the woods of SRB. 2 big bedrooms & 2 baths Fresh paint & new carpet 9 ft. ceilings with lots of windows $1250 mo includes cable and all utilities

Unfortunately some of the worst code violators are just old time wackos. Filing public complaints against them can lead to very hostile confrontations or worse. Some neighbors who are adversely affected don't speak up because of the risk involved. Jerks can start fires etc. You do not want these...

How can the Sheriff afford to have his own Air Force (multiple choppers and fixed wing ) when we don't even have paved roads down here in SoWal?

It's nice to know that some people are sleeping soundly in America. As opposed to the folks I know in Homeland Security who talk about the stress and night sweats.

Spending $85 x 10.000 households to recover maybe a hundred thousand in recyclables just doesn't compute for me. Especially in a county that has just cut back it's Meals on Wheels for lack of funds. We don't even have a community center here in So Wal , or lots of other things. If you want to...

Recycling is so feel good but economically such a looser that many places that were doing it, N.Y.C. for example, have stopped. It just cost more than the pay back. Do you really think your trash is worth $ 85 a year per house that it will cost to pick up. The county could spend that money...
