Do you support House Bill 947 introduced by State Rep. Will Robinson which would authorize the county government to override an island city’s self-governing authority in order for the county to construct a parking garage within the City of Holmes Beach?

The island has legal city charters to keep county government OUT of their affairs. If you want the county to step in and deal with city misdeeds you get an answer of no, they have a charter and we can't step in to help you. But when the county wants something to aid developers then the BOCC can step in for them. That parking garage is the result of overdevelopment, meant to ensure all Beruff, Neal, Robinson and NDC's homebuyers can access the beach. This is not for long time resident taxpayers. There was this thing called The Accord that could have at least managed growth. That is until Commissioner Joe McClash was railroaded, lied about, harassed and threatened out of office. Damn the powers that be ever since. Thanks Joe for giving us The Bradenton Times.
