steel1man, thank you for your efforts on the one thing we do agree upon, eliminate vendor abuses at public beach accesses.
Also I sincerely hope that when the new commissioners take their seats, that they eventually vote to rescind vending on public beach in its entirety.
Adjacent to the BMB regional access, as an example, private property owners already “provide to public” beach vending on their private beach front property. Buy a set-up and you get to use the private beach. Sounds like a win-win for everyone except for the public access beach vending “mafia” as you have branded.
Commissioners, please open the public accesses for the public without the public having to pay a shakedown fee to vendors to use OUR public beach. The whole world is watching.....
