That is correct. But I do not represent the PC, I am not a spokesperson for the PC or any other agency or board or whatever of the county.
And FWIW, since I have noticed that a lot of people do not seem to realize this: unlike School Board members and County Commissioners, we Planning Commissioners do not receive any compensation whatsoever for our voluntary public service. Speaking only for myself, based on the hours and hours of study and research in addition to meeting times, I can state confidently that serving on the PC costs me substantially in terms of the amount of time it takes away from my earning activities. I work pretty hard at this and do a lot of research and studying outside meetings, seeking to do the best job I possibly can.
I don't mind the cost, I am happy to be able to do this. It is just that sometimes people come to PC meetings and start fuss at us like we are getting paid big tax dollars to sit there and get yelled at. I understand and often share citizens' frustration with the way things get done -- or don't get done -- in Walton County, and I am doing the best I know how to make it better for us all. I invite all who are displeased to get involved and become part of the solution.
