I finally got a chance to sit down for a few hours to knock this out. I was up until 2am working on this last night and got it finished this morning. Today, I am going to break down the campaign contributions and how I will be doing it going
Well... I think it is safe to say that among the politically elite, I am probably the most hated person in Citrus County. First the outing of the potential data center... then the sand mine issue being outed... now Betz Farm contract has been cancelled. None of that happens without

Happy Monday! I apologize for being MIA this past week for the most part. I have been at a photography conference in St Louis where I was a speaker for the event. We get these cool banners that are larger than life (8ft tall). Kind of weird looking at your

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today, we are jumping right on in. We are going back to the BOCC meeting for the VA Clinic approval on March 10th. I received some more public records documents. If you do not remember, this is the meeting where Commissioner Kinnard
