Bridge proposal gains support at Okaloosa candidate forum
Bay Area voters heard favor for a White Point Piney Point bridge at a Democratic Women’s Club event. Incumbent Rep. James Ward touted it as a county wide solution while challenger Tomi Crofut’s rep stressed hurricane escape needs. County candidates pressed funding solutions, from tolls to grants, as they debated evacuations and anti nudity ordinances amid broader transportation talks.
