Destination traffic light cost dispute stirs Destin seeks county funding
Destin residents push a petition to make Okaloosa County fund 75 percent of a new traffic light at Main Street and Highway 98 in front of The Shores Shopping Center.

George Wilson reports about 400 signatures, with more in progress as officials plan to review the petition next week.
