Why does recycling have to be so complicated?

Wastewater plan doesn’t work
Pretty simple concept, isn’t it? The City of Milton plans to spray wastewater on 33-77 acres in the Santa Rosa County Wellfield Protection Area.

Letter to the Editor and Citizens of Milton,
Citizens, please read the Santa Rosa Press Gazette’s article dated June 20, 2024, regarding Mayor Heather Lindsay.
Commissioners: Please stay in your county lane
The Santa Rosa County Board of Commissioners spent over an hour on June 24 arguing about a resolution regarding illegal immigration. It was an hour of commissioners’ time they can never get back. It was an hour of our life we will never get back. It was an hour of time when nothing was being done for the citizens of Santa Rosa County.
