The Destin Log is published and printed every Wednesday and Saturday at 1225 Airport Road Destin Florida 32541 for residents of Destin and South Walton County. It is mailed to subscribers as Second Class mail with distribution at the Santa Rosa Beach office.
The editorial argues state agencies DER and DOT block southern Okaloosa bridge projects, citing an antiquated executive order. It condemns short sighted consultants and urges Gov. Graham to balance growth with transportation needs while avoiding crippling development delays.
Gov Bob Graham teased a possible bid for the U S Senate seat held by Paul Hawkins in 1986 as party faithful gathered at the Kilpatrick estate and amid a state military leaders conference at Eglin Air Force Base. The commentary also notes traffic studies delaying a new Choc tawhatchee Bay bridge and concerns over winter snowbird tourism and Destin traffic trends.
The board considered six priority transportation needs funded by a portion of the gas tax, debated bundling with a future bridge project, and discussed voter approval of additional gas taxes. The writer urges explainable, well thought out plans and notes private auto industry shortcomings with a U.S. model he purchased.
Citizens may express opinions by writing letters to Editor The Log at P O Box 957 1225 Airport Road Destin Florida 32541. Letters must be legible signed and include a return address and may be edited for length.
Readers critique politics noting Hutto's Fall 85 report and defense funding tactics.

Community thank you notes for a Destin hospice like cancer support and Walton-Sandestin golf fundraiser benefits ACS.
