Editor’s note: FHD is a Florida Amendment Ballot initiative that would require public vote to approve major new development/land use changes.
Campaign Update and
FHD in the News!
GREETINGS FHD SUPPORTERS!
In light of the hyper-partisanship of election season, it is important
to realize that Florida Hometown Democracy is a non-partisan reform with
only one goal: giving voters the power to veto bad growth plan changes.
Mark your calendars for January 8, 2009. Hometown Democracy v. the State
of Developers heads to the Florida Supreme Court for the umpteenth time
in the battle to save what’s left of this once gorgeous state. The
court will rule on the revocation statute. You will recall that FHD won
at the First District Court of Appeals but the state appealed the ruling.
Regardless of the ruling, FHD will be on the 2010 ballot. If you are interested
in volunteering on the campaign, please email us at flhometown@yahoo.com.
The “big boyz” are nervous about the looming reality that
people who live in a town might actually have a voice in its future, so
they are running hard to procure their “entitlements” NOW,
before the 2010 election. It doesn’t seem to matter that we are
in the midst of a real estate depression, they must have approval for
that new mega-sprawl. If the truth be told, they are programmed for destruction
and just don’t care about anything else. See the excellent article
below….simply substitute your county for Orange County and your
BAD project for “Innovation Way” ….and the beat just
goes on!
We can’t wait for 2010!
