I see where in the Navarre Press of 1/20-26/2022 the Santa Rosa County “Zoning Board” is doing what the (Censored) in the “South Santa Rosa (Navarre) County want to do.

In effect they are “Killing the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg.”

The current divide in American politics is clear to anyone who pays attention to the prevailing political narratives that change as frequently as the tides.

I drive by the Navarre Park construction area 4-8 times per day between 8 and 5 weekdays since the project began.

WHY do we need another Dollar General/ Store??

And on an already busy residential road, East Bay Blvd/Hwy 399?

I am thoroughly disgusted by both of the major political parties in the United States of America.

There is a lot to celebrate as we finalized the comparison data for 2021. There’s a lot I will unpack for you here…

For the first eight years I collected data from our local shelter, the average number of adoptions in 12 months was about 550. In 2019, DOUBLE the adoptions happened. This past year….TRIPLE.

House Bill 1035, sponsored by Representative Jayer Williamson, needs to be defeated. It is merely a thinly veiled attempt to hamstring an aggrieved community’s ability to exercise the right of home rule.

My name is Sally Menk, and I was with Jack Wetherell when he started the Navarre Panhandle Butterfly House in 1997. I volunteered there in Navarre every year until they tore it down!

Just a little thank you to all the staff at Navarre Press for the continued balanced and timely reporting on our local news.

Happy New Years!

We keep being told “be more green, conserve energy, reduce CO2, stop using fossil fuels etc.” We’re told the solution, in transportation, is to go electric. I disagree! The most green is the 100+ year old super affordable Bicycle.
