These climate denying politicians take us as fools. The evidence is so overwhelming, yet they lie to us, telling us not to believe the year after year after year record setting temperatures. Each summer is the hottest on record, and the coolest we’ll ever see again. We are the ones with the power. Wake up - this isn’t something 100 years down the road. It is here. And accelerating.
Thank you for speaking out! I love it here too and it hurts my heart what has happened to our beautiful, wild state from overbuilding and mismanagement of the state’s natural resources.
I'm sure this will be a great event and help a lot of people, however with every venue there should be affordable seats for the less fortunate folks that really got devastated would like to go see the concert and lift their spirits up.
I see none of that in this venue. Even if you had to do a lottery on the $25 seats it would benefit those that are really struggling that might need a boost in their lives.
The way the economy is today everyone's struggling just with the basics of food, shelter, and housing,
For the Record
I feel sorry for you. Your absolute feelings of negativity... your inability to see true love of country and your lack of patriotism. Love instead of hate is what you need. Also....thank you TBT for allowing all to speak even if they spew hate
Apparently more BS from county bureaucrats at least for storm water management. I sent a lengthy email to the address in the article voicing my concerns for the unusually slow drainage of retention ponds near our subdivision. After having observed the drainage characteristics of these ponds for many years I can ready see the system appears to be restricted. I pointed out that many out buildings in this forty plus year old east county development have flooded twice in the past seven years following its thirty seven year history with no single flood and my concern that if the already underperforming storm water management system is now below even normal performance ability we would likely be flooded again in the next high volume rain event. For my effort I received an automatic response advising that they are very busy cleaning up from the storms and they would respond when able. It went on to advise not to try to call them as it would only slow their efforts.
So much for the county’s desire to here from we pesky tax paying citizens.
The headline says it all. Reproductive freedom. If you are not ready to procreate there are many forms of prevention out there to actually prevent pregnancy if you want to be sexually active. Even married couples have access if they feel they can't afford another child. If someone is a victim of **** or incest that is a totally different situation. If the health of the mother is a an issue that is also a special circumstance but just to say you don't want the child is bull. Not with all the means to prevent a pregnancy. Need to educate people better of the ways to prevent pregnancy if they are active and don't want a child. ******** is not a birth control method.
What a great article Mitch. Thanks for bringing all the developer politics out in the open. You have pulled back the curtain to reveal what's really happening. Keep up the good work.
It's a big NO vote for me. The taxpayers already have 3 tax bills from the school district on our taxes. Who on earth funds their payroll on a referendum hoping they'll get this passed, no business that I know of. Let's not forget less than half of all 3rd grade students are reading at the 3rd grade level and this has been going for 10 years. In 2015 we were at 46% and a decade later it’s not any better. When I start seeing a better return on my investment perhaps I would vote for it until then I am a NO vote.
Stand down is such an outstanding event and I have personally participated for the last 16 years. The hard work and dedication that goes into this event year after year never ceases to amaze me. Now more than ever our veterans need your help and resources, please consider attending this wonderful event and meeting some of our less fortunate veterans that are struggling in this time of need. God bless you and God Bless America
That’s kind of a reach Ron. The man is the epitome of a, “sore loser”. Is it too late to sick the election police on people who signed the petition or are they still chasing abortion petition signees? Once our crackpot Health Commissioner makes a statement I’m out of here! Jim Tierney
Thank you for sharing this. After watching this movie, I can see how we as Christians have been manipulated for more than 40 years for a political end. It is certainly obvious here in the Bradenton/Sarasota area
This might be my favorite article yet! Thank you, Mitch, for your clear report and spot-on perspective. Also, kudos to Alice Newlon for being a fabulous advocate - I appreciate both of you greatly!
We don't need such facilities at all, when we have hundreds of dogs needing adoption. This also sends a bad message, while on the surface looks good, that we support selling dogs and cats for profit instead of adoption of those in need of homes. Also, why can't Manatee County be like other surrounding counties and just outlaw these facilities? Why are commissioners so intent on keeping these hurtful businesses in our county?
Having your signature not match what is on file is note a frivolous reason for having your ballot rejected. The election office checks each and every mail in ballot against the signature on file if it doesn’t match its rejected. That’s a safe guard against someone else getting your ballot and voting it for you. You should be grateful that we have these safe guards.
