Peace of Highlands County would like to give as a gift to our fellow Highlands County citizens the following quote from the magazine Daily Word: "When I witness discord among people, I may wonder how we can live together in peace.

Let us start by limiting the waste and unnecessary luxuries like private plane trips, foreign trips and the many extra perks that are included for our illustrious officials. ...more
