The Delegation Hearing is intended to afford local residents and officials an opportunity to request legislation or state funding, as well as to express opinions on any other matter of state concern, in advance of the 2024 Regular Legislative Session, slated to begin in Tallahassee on January 9, 2024. This hearing is open to the public.
Members of the public wishing to be placed on the printed agenda can do so by emailing their request, along with any backup information, to HD022@myfloridahouse.gov.
Here’s my opinion: The City Commission has numerous $oci@li$ts who have no business having the authority to determine ANY budgetary decisions and should be placed in a room with one another. Put them in the room Saco attends commission meetings from or chain them to Harvey’s feeding trough. They’ll eventually devour each other and the community will be in a far better place than it is now.
Alachua County voters need to be given the chance to vote to rescind the appalling library tax that’s been on the books for almost 40 years.
