I think beyond the usual issues of drugs and guns two issues are killing our sanity. paking on lawns or illegally parked on side walk it looks horrid all over the county. Most of all a noise ordinance put into place that can not be challenged in court. allowing these boomers to control our county is ridiculous and by allowing this nonsense to continue is definetely not "ensuring domestic tranquilty" as is stated to the preamble of the constitution. Noise of this sort should not be allowed in residential neighorhoods PERIOD!

With our nations' urgent need to overhaul the health care system and each persons' need to deal withRead More increasing health care costs/decreasing quality of care, volunteering for SHINE could be part of the answer. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make postive changes for yourself and others. If, like me, you feel frustrated with the FL Legislature which seems to be working against us rather than for us; volunteering with organizations that educate the public in essential areas of concern can be an effective way to create grassroots changes. SHINE offers exceptional training and effectively updates it's volunteers regarding changes in the healthcare system. Sign up for thier training and you're sure to want to pass on what you learn to others.
