We win another - Florida Hometown Democracy

Lesley Blackner gave a statement after the Florida Supreme Court cleared the way today and made its unanimous decision on the financial Impact Statement that must accompany Amendment 4.

"We've been three times on this merry-go-round, I'm glad it's over," said Lesley Blackner, co-founder of Florida Hometown Democracy. "Now we get to go to the people."

The opposing side, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the shill for the development establishment and big business, is still working on getting enough signatures for its ridiculous ballot that requires petitioners to get 10% of the electorate within 60 days in order to vote on Comp Plan changes. How much money have they spent trying to defeat Florida Hometown Democracy?

Vote Yes on 4 in 2010!

How much has the Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce donated to defeat Florida Hometown democracy ?

I would guess zero by the local Chamber. It is the Florida Chamber of Commerce's PAC that has spent millions so far trying to keep FHD off the ballot. They couldn't do it. Wait until next year.
