A critical column argues President Reagan's deficit spending violates his pledge to balance the budget by 1984.

The piece urges tax hikes, spending cuts, and a constitutional balanced budget amendment to halt further deficits.
Editorial urges State Attorney Curtis Golden to finish an investigation into Walton County's $75,000 land purchase for a south county courthouse annex. The piece questions lack of appraisal, absence of public hearing, and ignoring conflicting appraisals, calling for a site review, further appraisals, and possible grand jury if wrongdoing is found.
Santa Rosa Beach readers urge Walton County to hold public hearings on land purchases and debt. They push for a Capital Improvement Trust Fund to curb costly bonded indebtedness and urge taxpayers to stay informed and engaged.
A reader criticizes a county’s nudity ordinance and urges no support while noting Liberty in the Declaration and Florida Constitution. The letter comments on public comments, the environmental officer’s hours, and upcoming resurfacing work on Community Street and the Stahlman Forest Street curve planned for July.
A humorous column laments an onslaught of junk mail from time sharing offers, lotteries, and catalogs. The writer recalls attempts to resist peddled get rich quick schemes, the lure of prizes, and a TV sweepstakes promise, while noting a last catalogue hope and family debates over winners.
