Thank you for actuality listening to the citizens of Manatee County and for the consistence town hall meetings you provide unlike the other gang of 6. The redirection of the last 1.5 million dollars of Federal monies that were to provide immediate housing for our VETERANS is unforgivable that Amanda Ballard stole the last of the federal monies for our homeless VETERANS TODAY not 2 years from now for her pet project of "office design" KVO, Satcher and Turner are in the One & Done club and must be voted out of office. I'll be back with a vengeance on the HOMELESS VETERANS issue. The gang of 6 are DIC's aka Deflection Instead Correction on these Federal funds they weren't even good stewards of concerning our Veterans. The T2T you were the only one that wanted to move it forward and when motion was made.. magically 2 of our Veterans Bearden and Rahn along with God fearing Satcher were no where to be found for this Veterans vote that failed "For lack of a second" I speak at the Dec 12th meeting at the 56 minute mark to address those very concerns https://youtu.be/OGN8LJ0hu8k?si=zA8sQronjLd70Thk
Thanks for the recap, as painful as it is. I do believe you answered your own question in the very beginning. We shall see. Good luck with your own campaign.
So much time wasted on divisiveness... meaningless abortion bans, illegal gun sanctuary, petty vindictiveness against the Clerk of Court (and Commissioner Kruse), re-creating and rigging the Library advisory board, phony photo-ops of: filling a sand bag, getting in the way at the EOC, opening a park, pretending to be firemen... The arrogant wasteful time of an extra 30 min lunch x 84 meetings x (7 commissioners + 4 staff) = 13,860 hours. Thank you Commissioner, for doing your homework on every issue, and being accessible.
Yours is the only district I can vote in this year. If there is no write in or a late democrat entry it will be an open primary. i have the last date I can change from Democrat to Republican so I can vote in the primary. I have been a Democrat for over 40 years and i do NOT vote a party line. Keep up the fight, George.
Note that the majority of these issues have effected citizens in District 1, and that every one of them has met with considerable consternation and opposing opinion from the residents out east for years before an ineffectual, unresponsive and unbalanced board. Let’s hope this acknowledgement continues with the replacement of a majority on the board in 2024 in all open seats so we can undo the damage caused by the myopic vision, slick marketing expertise and snake oil salesmanship we have succumbed to in prior elections.

Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice...shame on me
Thank you Mr Kruse.

Looking forward to your 2024 Town Halls. Keep listening. It's a skill very few politicians utilize. You've been one of those few.
First one is Wed, January 24 (6pm) at the new LWR Library!
See you there. Thank you !
