Mike Huckabees Epic Fight to Keep Beachgoers Off His Patch of Florida Sand
<snip>
"Not long after his failed 2008 presidential bid, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee bought a beachfront plot in the Florida Panhandle and built a three-story, 10,000-square-foot mansion, with six bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, and a pool. By planting his flag in the Florida sugar sand, Huckabee was escaping Arkansas income taxes and joining other rich Republicans who owned houses in this particular part of Walton County, including Karl Rove. The beach house was a sign that hed made it. As he explained in an email to a state senator years later, Having grown up dirt poor in Arkansas, I never thought Id see saltwater in person, much less live on a beach.
There was just one problem: Huckabee built his dream house on a public beach, a spot where some of the more than 4 million spring breakers and tourists who come to Walton County each year had been parking their lawn chairs and fishing poles since time immemorial. That meant the Fox News contributor had to share much of the 115-foot-long spit of sand in front of his $6 million house with those who helped pay for itthe people who watch his TV show. And he didnt like it one bit.
So Huckabee, father of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, lobbied local officials to cleanse it of the riffraff. Now, along with his rich neighbors, hes taken the matter to court. In doing so, he and the other wealthy beachfront property owners have set off an epic legal battle, one that has Florida cops booting unsuspecting tourists off the beaches just as summer vacation season sets in.
The issue has become so toxic that the states Republican governor skipped out on some public appearances to avoid protesters last year. Beach access activists say the legal fight has larger implications, not just for Florida but across the country, as wealthy, powerful people try to annex public beachfronts for their private benefit. This is just the beginning, says Santa Rosa Beach attorney Daniel Uhlfelder, one of the activists leading the fight against beach privatization. If theyre able to pull this off, theyre going to take this to other coastlines around the country.

(17,378 posts)9. Bernie Sanders defends Tulsi Gabbard: 'Outrageous' to suggest she is a foreign asset
Well, is there any daylight between Tulsi and Bernie on any issues? It is a wonder that Bernie continues to support Tulsi even though she continues to be a permanent presence on Fox News.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/21/politics/bernie-sanders-tulsi-gabbard-tweet/index.html
Washington (CNN)Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday defended his fellow 2020 hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii against the claim that she is a "Russian asset," saying the suggestion is "outrageous."
"Tulsi Gabbard has put her life on the line to defend this country," the Vermont independent tweeted. "People can disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset."
Sanders does not name Hillary Clinton in the tweet, but his comments appear to be aimed at the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, whose claim last week on a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe that the Russians are "grooming" a Democrat in the 2020 presidential primary to run as a third-party candidate and champion their interests has caused a backlash. Clinton also accused 2016 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein of being a "Russian asset."
