Florida GOP Trying To Steal Santa Rosa Island

Save Pensacola Beach is an effort to stop one of the largest public land/beach grabs in Florida’s state modern history. This theft of Public Land sets a nightmare precedent for publicly owned land in our country. Public Land belongs to the public, and we believe Public servants are charged with protecting this land not stealing it from the citizens of Escambia County, Florida as recorded deeds declare in the public record of 1947.
------------------------------------------------------
The Escambia County Commissioners, working with Rep. Matt Gaetz and Sen. Marco Rubio, are trying to amend the original 1946 federal law that gave Santa Rosa Island to the citizens of Escambia County with two requirements: it must be used “in the public’s interest” and it could never be sold, conveyed, or disposed of, except back to the federal government.
------------------------------------------------------
They seek to convey ownership of the island worth billions of dollars currently under lease to PRIVATE individual and business leaseholders.
