No people or turtle skills
Robbi Williamson has upset at least three community groups serving the Navarre Beach area. At least two of the groups he expressed deep concerns’ over their $1000 allotments and wants more transparency. But Robbi gave the Mudders event $80,000 of taxpayers money to come to Santa Rosa County but three neighboring states didn’t give a penny of taxpayers money to the Mudders event held in their states. What was Robbi thinking? I’ve asked Robbi but he won’t answer me. Now Robbi is trying to evict GiGi our blind turtle from our turtle center by adding “termination at will language” in the new lease. I think “termination at will” should apply to our commissioners, especially one.

Dear Editor, Navarre Press
I just heard Donald Trump’s sincere apology for his decade old offensive video. He probably said what some presidents committed!

Half-Cent Tax
During WW II around the time the silver (zinc) penny came into use (1943), the copper and other vital metals were used in manufacturing war materials.

Infrastructure tax effort is dancing in the dark
Sometimes things are just so ridiculous that one must comment. I am speaking specifically about the current attempt to gain a share in the $35 million windfall for contractors in Escambia County.

Broxson a no-show for debate
Having moved to Navarre from Wisconsin this past December, I was looking forward to learning more about the local political races by attending the debate for the state Senate race between Mike Hill and Doug Broxson. Unfortunately, Mr. Broxson had better things to do and was a no-show, only a week before the election. Maybe he was coordinating with special interests or something, I don’t know. But I do remember that my grandfather always said “half of life is just showing up.” So I will be voting for Mike Hill, who made time to answer questions from the voters of this district.

Black Lives Matter?
Do black lives matter or do all lives matter? The divisive rhetoric coming from our president and his administration is having a terrible effect on our country. This dishonesty has driven some to resort to terrorist activities and murder. The man that was supposed to reconcile our differences has fostered division. I long for those that want us to live in peace and love our neighbors as ourselves.

World view and multiculturalism fail us
What have these two concepts yielded for the average American? We have been practicing a world view for the last 30 years resulting in the degradation of the middle class. If a world-view candidate is elected president, our standard of living will continue to degrade. The current democratic candidate for president has a world view. Like the British, I think a change is in order.
