Hey Santa Rosa County – we want better roads. We want a way to get some traffic off Highway 98. We want you to do something about flooding. We want our infrastructure to match our growth!
On Nov. 11 we will honor the brave men and women who answered a sacred call to duty for our country. It is a day to reflect on the courage, dedication and resilience of our military personnel. It is a small way to say, “thank you for your service” and we should add the words “and sacrifices.”
In 2020, in one of the most spirited presidential elections in the history of our country, approximately 66% of the population voted.
That was a record turnout, clearly one of the best turnouts ever, if not the best.
In just a few weeks, voters in Santa Rosa County will head to the ballot box to make important decisions that will impact our community for years to come.
I was at the water department today, November 4, attempting to straighten out where a water bill is being mailed, and a very slender gentleman came in wanting to put $8 down on his $20 water bill so his water wouldn’t be turned off. He’s been employed in the flooring business for more than 20 years and he said that this year has been the slowest. He thinks it is because people are waiting for the outcome of the election. He, like a lot of other people, think if Trump is not elected, the economy is going to get worse, much worse. By the time you read this, hopefully, there is a clear winner.
Great job Central. You won a football game. That’s a big deal.
After starting the 2024 season 0-7, the Jaguars notched their first win as a varsity program on Nov. 1, edging Wewahitchka 34-28 on the road.
Independence is a word cherished by most in this country. On July 4, 1776, the United States of America officially declared its independence from Great Britain. My home country of Canada was not officially declared independent until 1982!
