Lake Still Choked By Green Plants In Kell Aire Area
Homeowners around Kell Aire Lake prepare for a third round against water hyacinths that have blanketed the lake since Labor Day. Past efforts cost over $900 and failed to clear the growth. A new contractor will harvest for about $5,000 using a backhoe and nets, with leftover funds to stock Carp.

Destin Presses Negotiation Over County Tax Share
Destin officials urge settlement through talks with Valparaiso officials over dual taxation with Okaloosa County. City Manager Jack Dorman says a negotiated solution is preferred to avoid a costly lawsuit, while weighing options like reducing Destin’s rate or creating Municipal Service Taxing Units. The issue centers on Destin’s 25.86 percent share of county property taxes and perceived service shortfalls. The next council meeting will address the Valparaiso discussion and potential legal steps if talks fail.
