County Commissioner Kevin White (yes, the same White that a jury recently found had sexually harassed his young aide) had over 200 supporters at a fundraiser this week. Are his supporters loyal to a fault or maybe they just don't read the paper or WTF?
After months of battling and over $50,000 wasted on the subject Commissioners finally send Cone Ranch to the care of ELAPP which is what citizens told them to do at the very first meeting on the issue.
Cone Ranch panelist and attorney believes Hillborough's practices are dishonest, scandalous and probably illegal. Well, at least the county is consistent!
Hillsborough County departments give this citizen the runaround on the costs associated with the Cone Ranch Panel while independently run county agencies seem to track their employees activities. So far the Cone Ranch scheme appears to have cost taxpayers over $50,000.
Cone Ranch is one step closer to being safe from our Hillsborough County Commission. The problem? The County Commissioners themselves have the final word!
Cone Ranch panelist speaks up about the private meeting that the Chair of the panel had with the brokers pushing this deal, FCEG. The panel had no prior knowledge of this meeting. Ooooops.
The Aug. 14 Cone Ranch meeting served up more bullshit than even the cattle currently grazing on the ranch probably can produce. The only thing this land needs protection from is our own Commissioners!
