Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Baldwin County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.

Robert Wells' family deeded land without a survey 15 years ago, leaving his legal access narrower than the rules now require. The commission approved a 30-foot flag lot so he can own his driveway.
