Wasted Opportunity
Another wasted opportunity for the businesses in Gulf County! The rumbling sound of engines echoed through our area last week from the motorcyclists that attended Thunder Beach. It is obvious that some people have found our wonderful little piece of paradise in spite of the zero promotions by the Gulf County Tourist Development Council. I wonder how many could have been attracted if the Gulf County Tourist Development Council had made an effort to market our area in conjunction with the marketing that was done in Bay County? Unfortunately we will never know because as usual the people that had the responsibility to undertake the effort did NOTHING! Great job, it appears that the TDC is a direct reflection of the County Commissioners that appointed them. Business is as usual. Take our taxes, give us nothing, is still the standard. I sure hope that we can get new leaders to replace the parasites that we have now. Remember to vote.
