It is County Commission Tuesday, so we will spend today going over some agenda items. I keep getting asked when I am addressing the $39m that our CFO called out as waste in the budget. It is coming. I have not had a chance to sit down for a few
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
What a week it has been. I think many are still recovering from the surprise press conference with CFO Blaise Ingoglia on Tuesday. It is not too often when someone from Tallahassee comes to town... and even rarer when they tell you the county has overspent $39 million dollars. Bad

Happy Thursday. Man, this past week has been insane. Lot's of traffic on the social media page from the posts last week about the sand mine operating without SWFWMD permits. I have also been extremely busy with the full time photography job as we are now in spring
What a crazy few days. I spent so much time research for the two sand mine articles that I did not really think much beyond that. No idea what I want to cover the rest of the week... my brain is fried at the moment, so we will see what
Last week, we shared some details about the sand mine in Lecanto off of Homosassa trail. The article discussed if mining permits were needed for the location. At the time, according to the county, they are not needed. We also found out on Friday that SWFWMD visited the site and
There is never a dull moment around here... but that also means people are watching/reading what I am writing/posting... I teased this article yesterday with an image of a drone shot over what appears to be a sand mine/borrow pit. The headline with the image was "
