Great article on SoWal and the tremendous community-wide effort on removing the Big Blue Signs (very similar to the Big Red industrial signs at Target!!!). If you have a paper though, be sure to check out the negative letter to the editor. Uninformed, inaccurate and a bunch of hooie. Doesn't understand that the tax base will be preserved with actions like the citizens took to protect the unique venue of 30A. I am quite certain that this person would not have wanted 49 of the Big Blue Signs around Lake DeFuniak giving directions to how to find the different houses and buildings around the historic district. Three or four of these Big Blue Signs on either side of the historic DeFuniak Springs Library might lead people to the oldest working library in Florida, but what an eyesore and travesty that would be. Respect for our natural environment and heritage in both North and South Walton should be considered. An informed constituency will develop signs that will work with the beautiful area.

Actually, that letter was written by a former county commissioner. :creepy:

Maybe this attitude is one reason he is no longer a Commissioner. That and his attitude regarding the Senior Citizen's Center and operation of the Senior program in the county.

He was often out of touch with South Walton issues. Environmental issues weren't his special interest. He even voted against the environmentally friendly new county logo and the environmentally based names for the new South Walton Annex. Believe both were 4-1 votes. He lives in DeFuniak area. South Walton is lacking in the representation it deserves from the county commission. We used to have two county commission offices in South Walton, and now we only have one.
