questions persist

Does ANYBODY think the possible (probable?) problems with pollution in the proposed annexation areas will be discussed in the pamphlet? How can it be? The DERM guy hasn't even made an appearance to explain the pollution possibilities and/or probabilities out there. Does anybody believe the zoning problems will be fully discussed? The mitigation fees? The polluted FEC property next door? The TRIPLING of the millage rates in those areas? The resultant possible lawsuits from the 250 residents there? The police station that will be a warehouse? The infrastructure that the County is planning to do there, and its costs? The wishing and hoping that we don't get hit with a big pollution cleanup? The declining property values there that will adversely effect the taxes taken in? No, it will be a focus on ALL the money we will get from the taxes there! All Sunshine and Roses! No problem! This Mayor and Council are really saying they have done DUE DILIGENCE? They never even talked to DERM. Lets check them to see if their noses are growing, even as they speak. Rumor is that it can be an indicator of whether or not the truth is being told, OR NOT. The Mayor and Council didn't do DUE DILIGENCE on the building of the new gym and they ARENT doing it here either. There are too many unknowns for me to support this annexation in its current form. If the County agrees to be responsible for any cleanups IN WRITING that part of the puzzle will fall into place, for me. Other questions persist, however, as mentioned above. When are we going to get answers to those questions? Pinocchio, are you listening? Dr. Mel P. Johnson
