We knew about the arrest of school bus driver, Kenneth Webb, Saturday. He was arrested and charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography. We saw other reports about the arrest and decided to wait before we reported on it. We wanted to dig in a little deeper than just reporting his arrest. He was jailed with originally no bond but after his first appearance the judge set his bond at $100,000. One more zero on the end of that would have been nice.

Santa Rosa County won Tuesday night along with Dave Piech. However, I’m certain that Santa Rosa County will benefit much more from Dave Piech than Dave Piech will ever benefit from Santa Rosa County. The same could not be said about the incumbent who just lost the election that was his to lose. Williamson out spent Piech two to one and Williamson had his war chest early. Piech’s contributions trickled and more was given at the end. We will have an analysis of the contributions next week when all the accounting has been done.
According to governing.com, there are two types of political candidates; those who want to do something (Dave Piech) and those who want to be something (Rob Williamson).
Touch of Gray will be playing Classic Rock tonight at Navarre Beach. Bring a chair to the free concert starting at 7 p.m. as part of the Tunes by the Dunes concert series.
