This morning a friend sent me recent social media postings with respect the Bay Point Weakfish Way discussion. First, I want to say I admire the energy of the handful of persons responsible for most of the postings; however, they should redirect their energy to more effective channels to accomplish their goals. Secondly, what is very evident from the postings is that the persons doing the postings and making all

Several concerned Bay Point property owners have started a petition on the Change.org website. The petition allows all who participate to express their feelings to the Bay County Commissioners about the proposed removal of Policy 3.4.5 from the Bay County Comprehensive Plan.

Cautionary Note: As with every disaster, a lot of contractors converge on the affected area. Unfortunately, some of these contractors are unscrupulous persons and prey upon storm victims. If you should engage a contractor to assist in your storm recovery, I offer the following advice: 1.
