NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. (WEAR) — Navarre Beach will no longer be wheelchair accessible.

Last spring, Santa Rosa County invested over $8,000 to install mobi-mats.

The mats ran almost to the water's edge with places for wheelchairs to turn off and park along the beach.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection are now calling the mats an "environmental violation."

They add the county didn't seek approval to install the mats.

Subsequently, the mats have now been removed.

The most dangerous words in the English language:

"I'm from the GOVERNMENT and I'm here to HELP."............................

[RatRipper]

Everybody knows that enviro-wacko causes trump the well-being of the disabled in the Libtard States of America.

[alancarp]

So now the town - and state - are open to an accessibility lawsuit under the auspices of the ADA. Brilliant.

So what’s next: buying off-road wheelchairs for their disabled guests? Something tells me that won’t be much friendlier to the beach.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Lemme guess.....the wheelchairs are going to run over the sea turtles who were attracted onto the beach by Rush Limbaugh’s deck lighting.

[Red Badger]

All these things are is a plastic mat that allows the wheelchair to go down to the water’s edge without sinking in the sand...................Doesn’t hurt a damn thing except the Enviro whackjob bureaucrats in Tallahassee.........didn’t get ‘permission’...............

This is the Gulf of Mexico side under Alabama. Rush lives on the Atlantic side way down south in Palm Beach.................

Well, Rush can afford some pretty powerful lighting.

[Red Badger]

But by law he has to turn it off at night............

[alancarp]

Works for me!

We can only hope that these are solar powered or the pushers have methane blockers inserted.

[MrEdd]

Well if too many heavy wheelchairs are pushed to beaches on the gulf side, Florida might tip over.

[Innovative]

Terrible.

I thought liberals are in favor of helping the disabled.

[Red Badger]

This is Tallahassee bureaucrats flexing their muscle.......................

[[So what’s next: buying off-road wheelchairs for their disabled guests?]]

They could do something like that- charge a small fee for a day use permit to use one- that would pay for the chair in no time-

[Bob434]

[[I thought liberals are in favor of helping the disabled.]]

Only if they have autism or a form of it, and scream “How Dare You”

[RatRipper]

I know. These creeps act like somebody swiped their pacifier from their crib when they were babies and left them warped for life.

[Red Badger]

Now the county will have to make an application, do a EXPENSIVE ‘environmental impact study’, do obeisance to Tallahassee and swear they will never do this again.

Or they will just drop them in the dumpster.................
