Sounds like "Big Brother" to me. We are already in a recession, and a lot of people are having a difficult time of it. To add this, is like adding insult to injury. I understand the elite of SoWal would like to remove the underpriviledged from South Walton, but what about the rights and priviledges of individual citizens, regardless of their social status? I think removing those who simply don't cut the mustard economically, will come back and bite you. Eventually, you will need the services of those people, and they won't be inclined to assist. We still have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless to what social rung we are on. My grandparents came to the US because of communist oppression, and too much government involvement in citizens lives sure sounds like that's where we are leaning. Are you you're brother's keeper? Do you really think by eliminating the riff raff, that will make you happy? It will give you a power high, but can you sleep at night? And, when it's all said and done, when they lower you in the grave, what will be said of you? Was is really that important? You may gain economic success, or whatever you are seeking, but will it last?

floridagirl, from what I've read of the Walton County Code of Ordinances, there are none for social status.

The comments and experience that everyone offers indicates that the main problems seem to be the enforcement of enviromental, wetlands issues, snipe signs in the medians(which the county rec department is bad about), and the availability of officers on the weekends. I believe the BCC may take action on this new policy this evening. If anyone has an opinion they want considered they need to email the BCC this morning so that they might have it in time.

I would be happy if in the many, many trips that they make up and down the beach in their trucks, they would note all of the seawalls which are still not covered with sand and write those people a ticket.

You have to file a complaint. They will investigate.

I thought that keeping the seawall covered with sand was a DEP concern, not county.
