Walton County commissioners and staff traveled to Washington, D. C. in early March to meet with our congressional delegation about issues important to Walton County.

The delegation also attended the 2006 National Association of Counties Legislative Conference. (click here for the BCC Press Release).

This trip received widespread news coverage in the local media. Walton County had the largest delegation in attendance of any county in Florida !  The cost of the delegation trip was reported by county officials to be approximately $16,900.00.  The Walton County Taxpayers Association has begun a review of the true costs to taxpayers.

We will continue to track the expense reports of each of the participants, and disclose the actual cost of this delegation to the Taxpayers of Walton County.
