I am back from my work trip and ready to get back into things related to Citrus County. Up first, the special master hearing tomorrow for the sand mine off of Homosassa Trail. This can be read about here. To catch up... the mine location has been operating shortly after

I hope you all had a great weekend! Last week was chaos around here. My phone was ringing off the hook most of the week with various people asking questions, wanting to chat about what happened, etc. Then all the messages... The comments on the page.. It was crazy. Today,
This one will ruffle some feathers. By now everyone knows what happened at the BOCC meeting. Accusations are flying around social media on who is to blame and all of that. Many people are blaming Commissioner Diana Finegan as she is the chair and has control of the meeting. They
