LoL! Why are you so defensive. It's just a joke. I am glad that you share the info you steal with us. They city needs to stop hiding this important info from us. I sir knight you sir Robin Hood. Steal from the city and give to the needy.(just kidding)

STEAL!!! Last time I checked I was paying taxes!

[cityboy05]

I pay taxes to LoL. Because of that penny thing i pay even more!

[Florida]

then there's the 1/2 penny thing too.

[cityboy05]

But all for a good cause. It helps construction for public shcools, and improves roads. I am all for it.

[Florida]

you've got my vote... Lincoln is getting a nice face lift...

[cityboy05]

Yea Godby too, We are getting a car garage and new Jrotc building. Penny sales tax does a lot.


ps. Godby is going to kick your butt in football this year!

[Florida]

I figured you'd throw in some images of Godby which is why I threw in the Lincoln first. Cityboy... you should start a thread with all of our local Schools and pictures of them. That would be cool.

[cityboy05]

omg that is going to take a decade and a year! I will think about it. Do you know how many schools Leon county has?

[Florida]

we have nearly 60 public schools.

wow, when talking about taxes i dont even think about sales tax... how about income tax adn property tax, those are real bit**es!  Rickards is nice (wow, what  a stand for my school)
I think this new development should really be for affordable houses for students and younge proffessionals.  Nice houses that can withstand hurricanes so we doent ahve to rebuild every year. I cannot look at PDF's at work but is there a timeline or stages the project will be completed in.

There are no details as of yet on the new fallschase agreement.

[cityboy05]

Read this:Fallschase meeting canceled

What is that weirdo Rackleff trying to pull. The thing that ticks me off is that he refused to leave the meeting. He is really abusing his power, which shows disrespect to the board and the applicant.

[Florida]

I suppose his intentions were good... maybe not his methods. He's a true man of the enviornment and he just wants to see to it that all is done to protect our streams and lakebeds. We've already determined the proposal was a joke... so Im not sure the developer deserves much respect.

[cityboy05]

It is still wrong what he did. I don't care how enviromental he is you just don't things like that. It's kind of unprofessional.

[Florida]

You're right! He had good intentions, but the wrong approach.

[csmurphy8885]

sometimes when people are being rediculous it leaves little choice.  I think the best bet would be to expose the developers lack of enviromental concern.

[Florida]

I've always been a bit suspicious of the developer's true intentions... it doesn't seem like they are serious about building homes, but rather putting fear in the hearts of locals to scare us into buying their land for public use at a premium.

[csmurphy8885]

I agree with that.  I think the chunk was to big to sell, and no one believes the city will allow any development on the bed.  I know if i were in the position, i would od my best to get some money for the "useless" lands, but i certainly would not ask for such a high price.  Make at deal, get people on your side, then you may have some green leverage for future negotiations rather in that area or within your firm.

[Florida]

I say this only because anyone who truly cared about doing "right" by the community would have saved the lakebed as preservation in their plans and worked around it... the lakebed would potentially make a wonderful addition to the community if one were ever built, but as it looks right now, its only a scam, and I don't believe in a person getting rich at ripping off the tax payers... we've already got plenty of that going on in DC.
