Repeal bill filed to repeal HB 631 In the Florida house of representatives

The credibility of customary use leaders was seriously damaged when they allowed their "followers" to believe that people couldn't walk all 26 miles of beach in Walton County, that there was nowhere to go to the beach where people wouldn't be chased off, that all the beaches were public before HB631 (subsequently law), that BPOs don't own the beach seaward of their homes if they have a deed that says they do, that quiet title is some surreptitious legal maneuver to steal public beach, that our tourists would flee the area, that our home prices would be devastated, that our economy would fail, and that all BPOs are rich, selfish, entitled people who wanted to exclude everyone from their beach. What a pack of misinformation!

The funny thing is that not one single bit of misinformation had to be put out to the public. Almost everyone loves the beach and would like to use it at some point or another, some more than others. Most BPOs (not all) would probably have shared with respectful people if only the right to exclude certain people or things on their property had not been under attack. Would YOU want Walton County making rules for part of your property that guaranteed the entire public could use it? Would YOU want to count on Walton County to enforce much of anything on your property short of a crime? Would You want to be required to allow someone on your property who was disrespectful to YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR PROPERTY, or others who happened to be respectfully enjoying part of your property with your implied consent because they were respectful?

Extremists do none of us any favors. So much damage has been done to relationships at this point in our local community. Let's hope that most visitors are finding the misinformation to be just that.

From Dave’s Post #52 “We extremely love our right to use every grain of sand from the dune line to the water line”

Dave:

What year did the “right to use every grain of sand from the dune line to the water line” become law? Does that “right” extend to the property in the State of Florida (including State Parks and Military Property) or Just the Private Property between the dune line and water line in Walton County?

What year did Forced Occupation of Private Property with unlimited people and unlimited equipment against the will of the property owner become legal in Walton County?'

Do you own deeded property between the dune line to the water line and are you forced to allow unlimited people with unlimited equipment on your private property against your will?

What public property became private property because of HB 631?

Do you think there will be no lawsuits if the BCC tries to steal property (removal of property rights) without due process?

10. And extra bonus statement, asking questions or pointing out CU myths make a person a "drama queen"

Interesting article in yesterday’s WSJ. Reaffirms the ability of governmental agencies to use eminent domain under the “taking clause” under the constitution as long as “just compensation” is paid.

Florida Beaches For All is proud and energized to do the heavy lifting to support this new Bill to repeal the unfair HB 631 that privatized our Fla’s Walton County beaches. If this bill passes the no trespassing signs must come down and our beaches will be released from the chains that bind them

HB 6063 is dead, no repeal.

Hi, Dave.
Do you know what happened to the repeal? I just checked the status and it reads:
• Indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration
• Died in Civil Justice Subcommittee
This seems like a disappointing outcome and like a bit of a route.

Money talks, flip flops walk.
