McLean backs South Walton fire tax district plan
Walton County Commissioner Billy McLean shifted from his earlier position and now supports forming a South Walton fire tax district covering areas south of the bay. South Walton Emergency Services presented plans for autonomous departments funded by a $15 homeowner levy, eyeing substations in Sandestin and Seagrove. A straw vote showed two of three precincts in favor, with Seagrove voting against. An outline of the district from the Okaloosa County line to Bay County was requested, with final demarcation to be drawn and a referendum to follow if approved.
