— party is irrelevant when it comes to fighting corruption,
Kelly Kirschner and the others Bob McCann endorses here are candidates committed to working for the benefit of the community, not the puppets financed by the corrupt investors we all are burdened with. Spread the word... this can be reversed by the voters. Encourage others to vote smart as well.
Great reporting Dawn - and when will the residents of Manatee wake up and see which commissioners are in it for . . . Not only the money but the destruction of every last piece and parcel of Manatee county and beyond? Is our environment more important then the R or D following a candidate’s name?
If Socialist Bernie Sanders is endorsing, stumping for, and financing Nixon's campaign, this is all thinking voters need to know. Vote wisely. There are NO free lunches!
And yet the League of Women's Voters heartily endorse the approval of the now on the ballot Preservation Referendum! It's been widely argued on social media that the county can't be trusted with more pots of money and to use them wisely. This is now another example of this!
Did he actually meet the minimum qualifications of an Animal Care Specialist III? Did he have the required two years experience as an Animal Care Specialist or even the minimum of 6 months' veterinary experience with an animal shelter as required for a level 1 specialist? Of course, the question should be why we would want another problem in Animal Services when we already have so many?
Kelly Kirschner will fight corruption and work for the benefit of all in his district — not the greedy investors in puppet candidates — and the presence of Kelly in the federal congress will benefit all in the state and the nation.
The record of Kelly Kirschner demonstrates his character clearly. To make sure we get him elected, I am sharing my support for him with everyone I can, please do likewise. We can prevent the election of this obvious puppet.
Sums it up perfectly. From a development stand point we've reached the point of no return.
“I know growth is inevitable, but our leaders have just stopped caring, or at least stopped caring in the way I’d like to see us grow. This all began several boards ago, and unfortunately, while things have changed somewhat, I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Politics and money will continue to get in the way.”
After such “legal” ??? Maneuvering - all involved think they are such legal eagle geniuses! This case and the public & elected officials at the heart of this case must be held accountable, voted out and jailed! After all the legal-eaze - who suffered the most - the tax payers that funded this charade -YES - but most of all - the CHILDREN who missed out on $10MILLION DOLLARS of health care! How can “they” i.e. DeSantis & wife, Uthmier, Moody et al - look at themselves in the mirror each morning? It’s breathtaking the corruption that is happening in Florida - and it’s not even gangsters/mobsters/gangs doing it but our own Florida elected officials! This is why we VOTE! It is important to have a say in who runs our government - OR we get . . .THIS!
I'm growing weary of hearing Kruse stump for Jolly and others. His issue is that Tallahassee will pinch the commission's ability to spend foolishly if voters approve Amendment 3. Perhaps he should put this much effort into managing Manatee County in anticipation that Amendment 3 gets voter approval, rather than just implementing new fees on residents to make ends meet!
How ridiculous and politically self-serving for our State's politicians to reject the educated advice of the overwhelming majority of health care professionals as well as the undeniable data supporting that advice.
This is rich, quoting Commissioner Ballard. I don't see how Amanda Ballard can show her face in public as if her politically motivated, unexplained disappearance from a long-scheduled public commissioner meeting two days ago never happened. Where were you Amanda? Did I miss your explanation today? Why didn't you answer your phone when the county attorney tried to reach you? Were you suddenly sick and suddenly recovered? I seriously can't believe that we elect these kind of people who don't even try to hide their dishonesty. Not giving a damn about constituents that may have rearranged their schedules to speak on Tuesday. The people that re-scheduled appointments so they could listen at home, the people that worked to condense a public comment down to 3 minutes. The people that worked to rally their friends to be engaged because they felt this meeting was another step along what has been a long path toward good government. What right do you have to skip your responsibility?
