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.
Desire to grow in the Lord
Asked recently what my goal is now, this nonagenarian responded, “The same as when first born again, i.e. to manifest the reconciliation of man to God, to expand God’s family.” Jesus said in the greatest book ever to be written, not to be superseded, “Ye must be born again.” That means get priorities straight, make Jesus Lord and Savior. Doing this gives a peace that passes all understanding, ensuring a home in eternity with Him, Creator of heaven and earth! Experiencing the new birth is the most important decision one can make.
Milton traffic is a major headache, and it’s beyond time it’s fixed
Commissioner Kerry Smith laid out a very realistic nightmare scenario last week, which unfortunately could be a reality any day of the week in Milton.
Right decision made on Juana’s agreement after Calkins’ reversal
Political season sure does bring out some of the most unique situations.
We saw that a few weeks ago when Commissioner James Calkins did a reversal so large regarding Juana’s Pagodas and Sailor’s Grill that it should’ve been sponsored by ServPro. To reference the restoration company, it was almost like “it never even happened.”
Buckle up, it’s election season in Santa Rosa County and anything goes

SAFE Act’s passage shows support for special needs community, law enforcement
You think you’ve seen the world until you’ve seen it as a parent.
Every day adventures are suddenly dangerous.
Maybe Milton should consider some type of mediation
Can you imagine the chapter book that could be written about the last year of government in the city of Milton?
Milton has so many controversies that it needs a corkboard map you’d typically find in a police department to connect the dots of several related crimes.
Don’t sleep on severe weather
Some of you probably woke up last Friday, very surprised to learn that a tornado came right through Santa Rosa County and into Okaloosa County.
Many were left to pick up trees from their homes, out of roadways and to repair property damage following the EF-2 twister. The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado through its preliminary survey, estimating its peak winds at 115 miles per hour.
The presidential election is important, but local elections should be where you focus your attention
The year 2024 is a big election year, not only nationally, but also in Santa Rosa County.
We’re guessing everyone is aware of that, unless you sleep under a rock or somehow drive around town with your eyes closed. At this point, we’re not sure you could throw a rock on most major thoroughfares in Santa Rosa County and not hit an election sign.
