Letter to the Editor today's PB Post on Florida Hometown Democracy

Please support Florida Hometown Democracy

Regarding the June 20 article on Lesley Blackner, I urge everyone to support Florida Hometown Democracy, a proposed amendment to manage growth.

For too long, developers and politicians beholden to developers have disregarded what is best for the people of Florida. Developers learned a long time ago how to get what they want. They pack city and county commissions with greedy and sometimes corrupt politicians who vote in their favor. Just drive south into Miami-Dade and Broward counties to see how mismanaged growth has ruined the quality of life.

Palm Beach County is not far behind. The guilty pleas of five commissioners are the direct result of the incestuous relationship between developers and politicians. The indictments will continue. Now is the time for the people to take control. Please support Florida Hometown Democracy.
