BOCC to Vote on Another East of FDAB Development Thursday

That's right. We do not have enough water, road, infrastructure in general to support out of hand development. The developers don't pay the impact fees and here we are; An overpopulated, overcharged, over regulated citizens. Fixed and disenfranchised elections won't help either. We have a pandemic of crooked developers and commissioners in the city of Bradenton and Manatee. If only there were a vaccine......to wipe them out!

At least Cindy Kebba has some integrity and doesn't want to turn the rest of east county into a suburban hellscape.

Pay attention folks! It's OUR time to clean house this coming election, please vote smart not party lines cause your party ain't for the people, they're all for the profit of their pockets. If you have been paying attention at all you can see, hear and reap what the developers have in OUR county a bunch of sold-out puppets that do not have the environment nor our welfare in mind. They will continue to vote for everything that the agenda has and then they move away because they do not own property in this county. Get it?! You'd better wise up to people not the party! They never represent us! Vote for the person's values, not your party affiliation! The party in this county does not represent what the party used to stand for.

Trump Pleads Not Guilty in Federal Indictment

Trump has been a draft dodger and con man all his life, why would he admit to being guilty now? This is going to be nothing but a waste of time because he always gets away with whatever he does wrong.

William E. Moore

No one is above the law. These documents had information that, in the wrong hands, could put the security of our Country and other countries at risk. Also, those who work in areas to protect our Country, their lives have been put at risk. Yes, read every word in the inditement and know that no one is above the law. Truth should drive all our opinions and not wild accusations.

Growth: Too Much Too Fast

Manatee County is becoming a bedroom community for Tampa & St. Pete. This is why our agriculture base is being destroyed by every commission(Republican) that is put in office. You'd think they like to eat. I don't think dollar bills are very tasty and coins are hard to choose.

Russell Owens

I m going to make a dictionary of buzzwords/topics that each ""side uses to act and react to each other, and mainly to ignore the real elephant in the room of corruption and overdevelopment that they all partake or partook in. We care about animals/we care about babies..We care about the homeless/We care about homeless veterans..We care about mental health/We support the blue& . If they want to educate, guide or lead the people into how to do something about it, nothing in this explains the process for anything, just their opinion. The entire Gulf Coast area will become the equivalent of the LA/SAN DIEGO Corridor with the same problems.
