Good morning! Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far. For those not aware, I did candidate interviews yesterday for Holli Herndon and Diana Finegan. The others, Stacey Worthington, Rebecca Bays and Jennifer Grogan, were invited to participate but either declined (Worthington and Grogan) or did not respond
Last night was the Citrus County Chronicle's candidate forum. This is the big event where 100s of people attend to listen to the candidates speak. The Chronicle claims 500 were in attendance. I arrived just before the BOCC candidates got up on the stage and I certainly did
Let's talk development. Yesterday, we saw the PDC recommend denial of the Pulte Group's housing project that included 667 homes across roughly 266 acres and resort style amenities. The PDC said that the project was too intense for the area and many of them cited the
I am back after being away for a short bit. Every time I do not post of a few days, my messages get filled by many of you all checking in on me. I appreciate all of that. Thank you for checking in. Let's get back into it.

Today, the picture drops. What picture you ask? One that I was sent almost a year ago. You may remember me teasing something that was sent to me, but I said I was not going to release it. I did not plan to release this picture. Why? Because the hearing
It is County Commission day. This should not be a crazy day. Nothing huge on the agenda that I see, but let's go through it a bit to see what to expect. This item caught my attention. Not because it is controversial or anything, but it reminds me
A little bit of this and that for you on this Tuesday. First, I want to point you to an informal poll that I am running. Presidential elections and the like have tons of polls that come out prior to the election. They give an idea on how candidates may
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today, we are going to talk about the special master hearing for the Lecanto sand mine that happened on Friday. For me, this is not necessarily about stopping a sand mine from happening. The area that they are doing this has historically been mining
At the last meeting on May 26th, Commissioner Rebecca Bays brought up that the county should offer to end the lawsuit it is in with Right Rudder Aviation. That was very much unexpected. If you recall, about a year ago, Right Rudder's contract was terminated by the county
