PANAMA CITY BEACH — The contentious dispute over Spring Break inspired several candidates to run for Panama City Beach mayor, and the winners could be determined by how well or poorly the celebration turns out this year.


Reservations at area hotels and condos are reportedly down anywhere from 50 to 80 percent, and business owners are cutting back on hiring and lowering room rates.
