Thank you, Commissioner Kruse, for bringing this project to Manatee County. The T2T project was a no-brainer from the first day it was presented- it hands down is the best project I have ever seen brought to the Board. Citizens would have called in public comment on that day, but of course we are not allowed to do this, so instead I sent an e-mail- “yes on the VA project” during the meeting. It was unbelievable that when T2T came back to the Board the second time- the “6" started to discredit this project and the spending of taxpayer dollars- which the “6” have continued to waste from day one without regard. It was disgusting to watch the other “6” so-called commissioners try to slander this project- in person, at town halls, and especially in these ridiculous texts. Personally, I have never been so embarrassed on behalf of the community at this board’s treatment of Mr. Naples, Mr. Vincent, and Mr. Barnebey - but that doesn’t even compare to what Commissioner Bearden did to Darryl Vincent, U.S. VETS Chief Operating Officer (google him- award winner) - this ridiculous beratement of him at every meeting brought tears to my eyes, there are not even words to describe how sorry we are of his utter disrespect. To think that T2T would bring such a wonderful project to our community and be treated in this manner is unbelievable. The T2T presentation to discredit this nonsense was awesome! We are so appreciative, and we are glad that our Veterans will have this facility!
Here is information on the guy behind all of the negative stuff. https://thebradentontimes.com/stories/i-am-a-professional-propagandist,56559?mibextid=Zxz2cZ so tired of getting their text messages putting out false information. Just because it is close to new developments. The developers must be worried about their profits. This guys website was used by KVO last week to make the stupid claim at last weeks meeting about the wetlands. I thought I was watching a HS lunch hour and not our local government officials making a fool out of themselves. I guess this week if they didn't approve it people may have run them out of town. So thanks for voting for it. This is much better than them putting in an emergency room within 1.5 miles of another emergency room. KVO is all excited about that going in which is crazy and not needed.
That letter is an example of the most disgusting propaganda. These are homeless veterans who need help not just "vagrants". Tunnel to Towers is a very reputable organization. Expect more of this negative type of emails, letters closer to the election against challengers of KVO, Satcher, and Turner.
This almost sounds like an attack on anyone who dares to have genuine conservative reasons for opposing this project. I am a veteran and when we returned from our duty in the 1960's and 1970's to our country without moving to another country, we were vilified. We were all vilified as drug users and killers. That having been said, some of us as conservatives do not believe in government sponsored programs such as housing which only ends up making us all dependent on government. Many people are dependent on the government for food. The government controls our air and water creating a future where we will be dependent on the government even for these basic items. All of these vets should have been paid enough during their tours of duty to be able to buy their own homes during their enlistment or afterwards. Now we have a federal government which runs budget deficits of over $2 trillion annually. Within all that money there was no room to give our military a decent wage so they would not have needed more local resources when their enlistments ended? Our priorities as a nation are seriously misplaced. Federal housing programs have always failed creating more problems than they solved. I would doubt that returning vets would support a massive government at federal, state, and local levels. I doubt they thought they were fighting for a government which would only make them more dependent. The uncontrolled growth in our county has only created a local government monster for which in the not too distant future we will not be able to afford the taxes we will have to pay.
Thank you for supporting the people of Manatee and not the builders
Chalk one up for the good guys!

Thank you for caring about our Veterans. Not all Veterans need it, but those who do, deserve it for fighting for our country.
