  Barrier Island Girl — Authority: 123
  Im very appreciative that Ida was pretty much a non-event for us here on Pensacola Beach -- at least in my neighborhood. We didnt so much as lose a palm frond in our yard and we had no flooding.

  Opinion 3 “Too often, people who deal with the public’s money and do the public’s business view the state’s excellent Sunshine Law as, at best, a hindrance. It’s not.
