Nothing to see here. People will still be unable to afford the cost of living while simultaneously rooting for the billionaires and their lackeys in the legislatures. Welcome to Florida.
Republicans like to grandstand about lowering taxes. Meanwhile they drive the country deep into debt and slash essential government services. How's that working on the national level.
The first deep well injections in south Florida were shown to leak into the Gulf years ago!. Who are these people who ignore the facts and now want to pump radioactive waste into our aquifers!
Very good article, but it is not clear if an individual with a 401 k can stop their funds from being used, or is it up to the 401 k organization? How can an individual protect themselves from this action or are they at the mercy of the 401 k organization and rules setting by the government?
Had no idea that farm equipment was taxed every year! What is the purpose? Do they pay a sales tax when acquiring the equipment? A few details on how the tax is calculated and for what use would be helpful. On the surface it sounds outrageous.
Thank you Suncoast Searchlight for your great work, and thank you TBT, for sharing. When a person is taken into custody and charged with a crime, yet the the State attorney has no idea where they are - that is literally "disappearing" a person, a practice that we associate with corrupt South American government police. This is yet another example of how America is no longer recognizable as the country we once were. The cruelty, the corruption, a justice system without fundamental rights like due process... and for what? How is our country better with Mr. Santos disappeared? Who was he harming? He was paying taxes, he was filling a need in our economy. And are deputies cruising around looking to "notice" brown people who "drift into the opposing lane?" What is a drift, exactly? A few inches? Yet that was supposedly enough to follow Mr. Santos all the way to his home. We are not behaving like that "shining city on a hill" that President Reagan described.
Good conversation! Pretty sad people don't actually read the article before confronting someone or posting a negative comment. This is the dumbing down effect that social media is having on society.
That pesky SB 180 strikes again. This is not property that someone is trying to rebuild from a hurricane but property along that river that needs to be protected in the long run from possibly proposed new development. Don't need another golf course or development affecting Myakka River. Too late for other rivers in the county.
I did listen to this discussion and agree the majority. Commissioner Siddique did his homework. I especially do not lime the fact that the EDC operates out of the sunshine. We’ve seen this board promote the idea that avoiding sunshine is a good thing. They’ve done that to establish so-called “Task Forces” instead of advisory boards (see Animal Services). In addition, doesn’t the county already have a department that acts as a liaison to new businesses? Knowing “who to call” should not be a difficult task.
Interesting discussion Mitch. Isn't it interesting that the strongest opponents of DEI, who so strongly espouse meritocracy, are quick to approve, indeed bless, the ideological appointments of individuals without credentials or experience like Hegseth, Patel, Kennedy, Gabbard, Witkoff, et. al.
It is unbelievable how much raw sewage that Bradenton has dumped into the river over the last few years. Yet the mayor and city council keep approving more development and higher density. Just last month they rezoned coastal high hazard areas to allow higher density. They rezoned the westminster property to allow for a 12 story hotel plus more housing at higher density. Just before that they approved a 400 unit apartment bldg on the old city hall property across the street from westminster. It is the city council that needs to be dumped.
It truly is astounding the pervasive climate change denial in spite of the incredible evidence, data, research and expert scientists who accurately validate this. Back to back hurricanes, extreme weather and worldwide storms, forest fires, tornadoes, flooding...OMG, what does it take for reality to take hold?? Ruth Lawler
