Vanita Trippe muses on a solution to hurricane escape on Highway 98 toward South Walton County. She suggests a transportation route to the north across the bay, weighing ecology concerns of a causeway against toll-funded bridge traffic, and asks what to do.
A staff comment imagines turning Destin into a toll village with a quarter charged to all entering from the Walton County line to the bridge. It argues user fees could fund a large project, while noting traffic viability and potential risks in a tongue-in-cheek, speculative tone.
Senator Lawton Chiles warns that the economic recovery depends on cutting federal deficits. He argues high deficits raise interest rates, suppress business investment, and strain consumer spending. If deficits stay high, private credit demand and Treasury borrowing could clash, risking an end to the recovery.
A commentary from a Senate budget committee member argues that large deficits could cause the economic recovery to peter out in two years. He notes a $210 billion deficit this year with similar projections next year and urges spending restraint paired with adequate revenues to sustain recovery and lower interest rates.
The Florida Highway Patrol cautioned that 27 people may die on highways during the 78 hour July 4 weekend from 6 p m Friday to midnight Tuesday. Last year 23 died. Police will focus on careless driving DUI and speeding with maximum coverage and extra personnel and aircraft to catch violators.
