The Destin Log prints each Wednesday and Saturday at 1225 Airport Road Destin Florida 32541 for residents of Destin and South Walton County. It mails as Second Class. Office circulation and distribution contact numbers 837-2828 and 267-2072.
In a call to readers, The LOG invites Destin residents to draft up to three wishes to make the city more desirable. The column notes past budget silence from Destin on road paving and airport expansion, suggests a future incorporation, and asks for submitted wish lists despite no guarantee of publication.
The piece rebuts moving the Destin charter fleet to Okaloosa Island and urges DCBA to review local dock sites in Destin. It notes past land lease plans near Destin Bridge faced Air Force and environmental pushback, while a West Pass site is being surveyed. It warns against diverting boats and urges community talks to secure docks now and later.
Dale McFeathers notes Mondale’s late campaign flare fades as he becomes the first presidential candidate to name a woman running mate and pledge a tax increase. He attacks Reagan at a meat packing plant, claiming tax cuts favor the rich and inflation is capped by a recession, while warning of more tax hikes. He compares Reagan to a rowdy crowd and says the rhetoric hides real policy.
A provocative Viewpoint calls for Mondale to challenge Reagan directly in a one-on-one debate. It mocks Reagan’s knowledge of Cabinet members, questions his energy, and suggests stunts to expose weaknesses. The piece, attributed to Ale McFeathers of Scripps Howard News Service, frames a dramatic, blunt campaign tactic.
Letters to the LOG discuss Florida state lottery and editorial reprint, arguing lotteries mislead taxpayers and erode morals. Other letters critique easement abuse by Destin Water Users and Okaloosa County Road Department, detailing property damage and owners facing repair costs.
