The Alachua County Commission Has Been Wasting Your Valuable Time!


That's right.  Why go to Alachua County Commission meetings, anymore.  What is the point in attending, to speak your mind, if they make up their minds and coordinate their votes at secret meetings-before-the-meeting. 

 

Many flagrant examples of this have been brought to light, recently, the most egregious of which is the meeting that they had before the special meeting at Santa Fe Community College, several years ago, about whether or not to allow a job-creating business to develop Spring Hills.

 

In that meeting-before-the-meeting, the commissioners connived, schemed and coordinated their vote until they came up with the solution that they wanted to kill the Spring Hill job creating development.  Once they realized that they had figured that out, former County Commissioner, Cynthia Chestnut, can be heard exclaiming, "Bye bye" in a sarcastic, drawn out tone, as if to say to the developer, "don't let the door hit you in the a-- on the way out."

 

The only thing left to talk about at the meeting-before-the meeting was what to actually do at the real meeting since they had already made up their minds, to which one of the commissioner suggested that they feed us popcorn to keep us happy.  Wasn't it Marie Antoinette that said, "Let them eat cake"? 

 

"We have made up our minds.  Let them eat popcorn," says the Alachua County Commissioners.

 

Hundreds of people went to that special meeting at Santa Fe Community College.  Many people stood in line for a very long time, to speak in support of the development of Spring Hill Commons.  Mike Byerly, Paula DeLaney, Rodney Long, Cynthia Chestnut and Lee Pinkoson played us all for feels and wasted our time.  They proved to us that their arrogance knows no bounds.

If you would like, you can also call our headquarters and leave a voicemail, telling the Alachua County Commission how you feel about their shennanigans and new taxes.  We will save the voicemails to sound files and send them to the commission.

 

Be nice.  Don't use any profanity or anything that can be perceived as a threat.  Be passionate, but professional and courteous.

Alachua County Special Meeting About CHOICES at 1:30 P.M., Today

 

Today, the Alachua County Commission is holding a special meeting, at 1:30 P.M. about their CHOICES Health Care program (our own local version of government run healthcare).

 

Interesting that at the county website, the schedule of meetings, for the week, doesn't actually say what that meeting is for.

 

After sucking untold dollars out of the local economy, into a failed healthcare program, no doubt that our liberal commission is going to entertain ideas about how to re-up the CHOICE healthcare tax.

 

Email them and tell them that enough is enough.

A New Tax For Roads - From the Alachua County Commission, Of Course


At 6:30 P.M., tonight, the Alachua County Commission is going to be discussing putting a new sales tax on the 2012 ballot for road repair.  They will do everything in the world to make you think that they are going to use the money to repair and build roads.  Sure, one or two roads may get repaired, but none are going to be built.  In the name of "transportation improvements", they will spend the money on narrowing, round-abouts, wider bike lanes and, their new buzz-word, multi-modal transportation.

 

Email them and tell them at instead of voting on new taxes, in 2012, that you would rather use your vote to vote on new commissioners.
