What do you think about our Local Leaders

Danny lost me when he decided to accept and perpetuate the big lie.

The other four are just place holders and a puppet for someone's agenda.

IMO anytime a candidate is quizzed on national divisive issues they are probably competent and looking out for their constituents.

what is "the big lie"?:popcorn:

All I know is what I see online or a bit in the papers. Seems like a lot of local yokels with limited education and knowledge of the outside world.

And just more of the good ole boys with their hands out ... and this thing with the TDC is interesting. Bed tax payers want the TDC to snap to and spend on advertising. Does the BCC trying to take the TDC away to do more infrastructure stuff? Why turn the TDC into just another bureaucratic department with low level managers? Spend on businesses other than bed tax collectors? Other reasons? If they are puppets of developers wouldn't they be biting the hand that feeds them since dvelopment and tourism go hand in hand?

TDC needs to focus less on advertising and more on improving the tourist and local experience. There has been more of a shift toward this in recent years, but we have a long way to go. As for our commissioners, Tony and Trey do not represent their constituents. They are puppets to a select few. Danny, Boots, and Barker are doing a much better job. We desperately need better representation south of the bay that is more focused on residents and infrastructure and less focused on developers and other influential individuals.

Been reading about some of the recent rulings by planning commission. The Solar Farm which was approved by the Planning and then disapproved by the BCC, then negotiated to an approval.
The RV park on Moll Dr. Approved for a change in zoning and disapproved by the BCC.
Am I wrong to assume these folks are appointed to these boards by the individual members of the BCC?

What was the opposition to the solar? I read a bit about neighboring farmers worried their farms and way of life would be harmed? Seems like unfounded fear to me. Was there something more? Solar seems better than heavy industrial next door or urban sprawl subdivisions.

I don’t know the particulars about the solar farm. However, in regards to the RV Park, the BCC’s decision was definitely the correct way to go. If approved, it would have been devastating for the Edgewood Terrace neighborhood.

Devastating? Really? Devastating?

Why?

How would you like to put up with the lights and noise of a parking lot and bathhouse 24/7. Not to mention the traffic on Moll Drive which is dedicated to family uses and interests. Do you think SoWal needs a tacky RV park adjacent to a community park, churches and single family residences? Would you want to sit in your yard looking out at that? Is it okay as long as it’s not your neighborhood?

Well I sympathize with NIMBY and if your home backs up to it then there is cause for concern, but devastated is way over the top. A devastated subdivision would be burned or razed to the ground.

An RV Park is not a trailer park full of meth heads. Probably retirees and campers who hopefully will respect each other and our community.

Devastated? - see my recent post on Peach Creek. Killing our ecosystem is devastating.

There was a thought by some that it was not environmentally friendly due to heat damage and the components leaking.

So was this going to be located on Moll Dr and 98 or 393 south of Edgewood Terrace?

That sounds like BS grasping at straws. NIMBY for farmers?

Thanks. Do you know if there was going to be a buffer between Edgewood Terrace and the camp ground? And was this basically be located between the golf cart place and the church?

I don't know about that but there was another proposal after that that would have allowed Farmers to sell 5 acre tracts. Not sure whatever happened to that.

What does that mean? To make it easier to carve off and sell 5 acres?

I don't know the particulars but if you click the docs link there should be drawings and other permit details.

The solar farm opposition was about sour grapes and not being able to sell adjacent parcels for the same price proposed by FPL.

I find it hysterical that a resident of Edgewood Terrace, a trailer park community, would be upset about an RV park. We have plenty of RV parks in south Walton and the majority of them are nice places. Also, Edgewood Terrace is surrounded by a 10 foot wide trench that's is 5-6 feet deep for drainage. Moll Dr. currently doesn't have any residents on it until they build an apartment complex.
