It's such a shame. We have been trying to protect our state for decades--for future generations, its natural resources and animal habitats, but politicians, looking for the tax dollar and never meeting a developer they didn't like, always get in the way--always.
The last commercial citrus growing operation in Palm Beach County has bit the dust. And no surprise when we learn that a huge development will takes its place. Now envision this--Minto West "is larger than the cities of Lake Worth and Greenacres and, if incorporated, would be the 11th-largest municipality in the county."
Read more... on Minto West and how the County allowed developers to build beyond capacity. Commissioners Vana (who was all for screwing up John Prince Park for national league baseball), Hal Valeche, Priscilla Taylor, Steven Abrams and Mary Lou Berger voted in favor of the Minto West proposal. Commissioners Jess Santamaria and Paulette Burdick voted against it.
Please remember to vote YES on Florida state land initiative Amendment one. It will take a 60% or better vote to protect Florida's future.

Would you believe this is why I am voting No on Amendment 1 because the elected can not be trusted to do what we ask them to do. This screws up the entire idea of the PBC west being rural!
We know how well ethics is working and are ALL the cities paying the IG yet?
Who wants to take a bet when the first complaints of "it smells like poop" and how can we (newbies) stop it happens?
