You act as if we just found fire ! While certainly nice there are so many other pressing issues that go ignored by you and your BOCC colleagues
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: You've obviously NOT been following this issue: There was a cabal of special interests and one elected official that kept this 300' parcel of taxpayer owned, gulf front property locked behind a gate and no trespassing signs. Meanwhile, nearby condo owners used this beach but the taxpayers who owned it were kept out. Nifty trick they pulled, huh? But that is over now. We smashed their resistance, tore down the gate, and opened the beach! the reason for the overflowing, joyous celebration yesterday was that we shattered this very comfortable, special interest, status quo that kept the public from enjoying this beach. Nope, not discovering fire--far from that. But kind of a nifty day amid all the gloomy meida. And to your other point--I'm certainly not walking around with blinders. To the contrary, I've got my eyes on a lot of issues, some positive and some negative. But they are all getting worked. Stay tuned, strap in, and watch and see. I don't kick cans, hide from problems, or defer decisionmaking; I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteFix the economic problems in our county then I’ll be impressed
ReplyDeleteYou're not being 100% honest. The county has owned the property but who locked the gate and put up the no trespassing signs. The county? The condo across the street? Maybe The Crab Trap? I'm sure the restaurant will love the 3 million dollar parking lot. It just doesn't make sense the county was locked out of its own land.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Jeff: Why does that parking lot close between sunset and sunrise? Is that your idea of “public access”?
ReplyDeleteWhat if citizens want to watch the sunset, or look at the stars? Why is that beach access closed 50% of the time?
Secondly, you and Dianne Krumel have a lot of nerve to claim that you “saved Pensacola Beach”. The two of you were instrumental in the sale of Pensacola Beach to private developers.
And don’t try to deny it.
For example; you forfeited federal protection of the unleased land on Pensacola Beach, then subsequently sold a previously unleased 2,755 square foot Casino Beach property to Innisfree Hotels for the unbelievable price of $3 per square foot. You sold that property in order to allow Innisfree to construct a new 12 story private tower, private parking garage, and helicopter pad.
And that’s merely the tip of the iceberg.
