Twelve years or so ago, there was a proposed resort, Skyway Resort. Never got to the actual planning process but contacted the county with a conceptual development plan. Hotel, residential, commercial, bungalows over water. This was before it was proposed that the state would buy it. Could still happen if sold to a developer.

I would be happy to see Rick Scott go. He removed 85% of the environmental protections in this state. Then his buddies gave him an award for it. Environmental systems have been suffering ever since, not to mention the over development.

Former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell files to challenge Rick Scott for U.S. Senate seat

Ray writes:

Van Ostenbridge expressed that it was not his intention to be “heavy-handed” . He asked the chiefs to consider the possible conservative value in mergers, including the “decrease of duplicity” and decrease in administrative costs. And yet this commission keeps adding cost to taxpayers for administrative overload.

Manatee County Commissioners Again Discuss Fire District Consolidations

There are lists of ways to make fertilizer without destroying anything. It frustrates me to no end that Mosaic is rips up the ground and then creates toxic waste for the future generations. They destroyed a lot next to my friends house and caused her pond to empty, repeatedly.

Mosaic’s Toxic Assets

Cat L writes:

My feeling is that Van Ostenbrige and Ballard could have been more compassionate, rather than admonishing her for not knowing the existing services. Her son still died. And, how could those existing services have helped Breonte? Did they fail?

Mother of Palmetto man who died following police encounter asks BOCC to consider CALL program

Charles writes:

This man is the best governor of Florida in my lifetime. He went on to leadership in federal offices as well. What a role model! He cared about the citizens, he cared about the environment, he encouraged his family to follow his examples. What a legacy Bob Graham has left to show that good leadership is possible.

Bob Graham dies at 87

Charles writes:

I've asked the 865 people living in Florida and all of them (100%) want clean water – let's get a Florida Right To Clean Water on the 2026 ballot so the voters may establish that they have that right (and so corrupt politicians and polluters can take their investments elsewhere). More than one hundred thousand voters signed petitions in the first leg of the effort, more than one hundred thousand. Only The Bradenton Times and The Sarasota News Leader had the courage to write about the proposed nonpartisan amendment to the state constitution. Imagine how many voters would have signed the petition if their media had made them aware of the proposal. Instead they spend their time asking 865 of us about how well the most famous contemporary con artist is doing in efforts to get back into office so polluters can make even more money by poisoning us... sign the petition to get the question on the 2026 ballot if you want clean water —

Unconscionable. Developers are more valuable to the BOCC that their constituents, that much is obvious. And when you take out all the plants and trees, what else is going to happen? I hate what is happening to my home state.

This exact same situation has occurred in Bradenton at the intersection of Cortez Rd and 75th St, causing havoc in the Coral Shores community. This building project has also caused a right lane closure on Cortez on both sides to accommodate this build. Additionally 75th St south of Cortez has closure of two lanes to accommodate this build. All this occurring during spring break traffic.. is anybody at home in the Commission? James Tierney

FAA Rejects SRQ/New College Land Deal

kmskepton@yahoo.com writes:

Could the commissioners have just reached out directly to the offices of Wells and Brodsky to find out that there has been no increase in crimes or criminal cases? And isn't that just precious how Choate had NO ACCESS to student data to support his claims, yet there he was claiming away ... What a charade!

BOCC Talks Immigration with Other County Officials at Special Meeting

Charles writes:

Glad to see that the responding voters understand how important it is to vote within the system rather than handicapping the best of the choices — my view is that voting otherwise often results in one's least desired choice winning. That is reassuring, given how important the coming presidential election is going to be. Every rational vote will be so important.

Are you considering voting for a 3rd party or independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election?

ruthlawler@att.net writes:

I'm confused. Why would Mr. Levin write a public letter to Commissioner Ballard, when his property is clearly in District 4, Commissioner Rahn's district. Even prior to the redistricting (gerrymandering) a couple years ago, Mr. Levin's property was in District 4, which was then Misty Servia's district. Has he contacted anyone else with the County as it pertains to traffic and speeding? Perhaps reach out to Manatee County Sheriff's office for speeding issues? As a property owner, we often experience frustrations and feel issues are not being addressed, yet we should do our part to be better informed and to bring issues to the appropriate regulatory or enforcement persons or departments.
