Carl Hiaasen on Amendment 4

Carl Hiaasen, wrote of Florida's over-development predicament, "… It's hard to imagine a system for managing growth that could possibly be more dishonest, or deaf to the public interest, than what we have now.

Nobody with half a brain believes that development pays for itself. Study after study shows that residents are the ones who pay big-time for sprawl, which is why taxes are so brutal in Florida's most densely populated counties."

Remember these words on November 2. We need a seat at the table.
