I hope everyone had a great weekend. Fall is certainly getting close. A couple of days below 75 degrees is a nice change from the constant 90+ degree weather. I certainly enjoy running in cooler weather... so hopefully it sticks around a bit. Today, we are going to talk about
What a crazy week it has been and we still have the rest of today and tomorrow to go. * Monday BOCC votes to not move the ordinance forward that would have potentially avoided a Pine Ridge golf course issue with Betz Farm. * Tuesday we talked the data leak of personal
Well... yesterday was interesting. Not going to mention too much about it... but let's just say... I ruffled some feathers with the article and posts about the records that were not protected. The sentiment from some online was to attack the messenger and not that processes that allowed

Oh man... What a tangled web we weave. On Friday, I wrote about Commissioner Holly Davis' trip to Denver to speak at Rally 2026... a land conservation conference. This was mentioned by her at the August 26th BOCC meeting during the Pulte application. Here is the quote. “I have
Its a County Commission meeting day. There is not a whole not going on today on the agenda, so it should be a pretty quick meeting. There are two applications the board will consider after 5pm. One is for Citrus Hills to expand the commercial square footage in front of
Today, we are going to chat a bit about county commissioners and their representation of Citrus County. At the hearing for the Pulte Group project on Tuesday, Commissioner Holly Davis was pushing back on the idea that she was not really conservation minded due to members of the public questioning
If you like watching an indecisive government, the special meeting yesterday did not disappoint. Ultimately, the board voted 5-0 (not happily) to let the Pine Ridge ruling stand and not pursue an appeal. There will be an agenda item at a future meeting to address the issues that the
