First I would like to say I am not a politician nor do I aspire to be one. I typically would not respond publically to news articles and I do not use the media as a venue to advance an agenda or political view. However, in recent weeks Navarre Press had continued to write negative articles about Holley Navarre Water System most of which are inaccurate, slanted, one sided, misleading, taken out of context, and/or sensationalized, making a response necessary. One editorial written by Sandi Kemp herself was an outright attack on my character personally and was replete with complete untruths. So first is the matter of correcting the information in her opinion piece dated May 25 2017 titled “A House of Cards”:
Raindrops keep falling on the tarp that blankets the infield. Puddles form near the dugouts and on the warning track. The gloomy clouds hanging over the bay off in the distance remind you the tropical storm invading the Gulf Coast has no intention of retreating.

People whined throughout the NBA Finals about Kevin Durant and the weak move he made to jump ship on Oklahoma City last summer and put the finishing touches on the super team that is the Golden State Warriors.
It seems escape rooms are all the rage right now and Navarre is fortunate to have one. It opened recently and Navarre Press had the opportunity to visit and find out more about this entertainment business model. The trend started in Japan in 2007 and now they are worldwide – including Navarre. You can read more about it on our Business page. It would be a great team-building exercise for businesses. Maybe even for our county commissioners – it would require them to come together to create a solution to the puzzle of clues to be able to get out of the room. Hmmm…work together to solve a problem. What a novel concept.
Of the $2,398,948 collected last fiscal year in bed tax dollars in Santa Rosa County, the Tourist Development Office set aside $75,000 to use as grant money for local events that help promote tourism. A criterion was set that had to be met in order to qualify for the grant money.

A founding principle of the communist manifesto is if a lie is stated enough times then people will begin to believe the lie. We are experiencing this exact action against our current government. These lies are inciting discontent or rebellion against the government. If there was any truth to the anonymous accusations, then the seditious activity could be justified. An outsider was elected because the people were tired of the corruption within the government. Multinational corporations and special interest groups aided by the insiders within the government have promulgated policies and laws that serve the few not the many. Free market capitalism, not phony capitalism, provided our high standard of living and it will again if we have the foresight to return to its core principals.
