What the Hell is Wrong with St. Petersburg?
According to Howard Troxler – unilateral power that’s hurting the entire region.
That’s what’s wrong with St. Petersburg.
It looks as though the City Council continues to do the mayor’s bidding, no matter who gets hurt or goes broke in the process. On Friday, *tomorrow*, they will take up Mayor Rick Baker’s plan to annex 18 acres inside Tierra Verde.
For what? A little over $132,000.
That’s right. St. Pete wants to alienate neighbors, incur possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees when those neighbors sue, and wreck the fragile ecosystem with unneeded development for less than what most of my Republican friends make each year.
Contact the council members and tell them that overreaching and power-hungry grabs have no place in our community.
You have one day left. Make it count.
UPDATE: Didn’t work. Oh well, Howard. We tried.
Disproportionately blessed...
