Just a couple of years ago, the Santa Rosa County Commissioners spent many meetings trying to come to grips with the best way to encourage investment and job creation for local residents. At the time, TEAM Santa Rosa, a public-private partnership was the local economic development office. Some members of the public were not satisfied by the group’s efforts, operational methods or the fact that it lacked direct oversight from the county, its primary funding source.

“Mandela believed in God, was not a Christian,” per his confidante.  Surprisingly, admirably Mandela forgave his jailer.
