It's not surprising that TBARTA (Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority) passed a resolution opposing Amendment 4, also known as Florida Hometown Democracy but it may be illegal. And even if it's not technically illegal, TBARTA's action is just plain wrong. As Carl Hiaasen says, our politicians & developers are "squirming like worms on a frying pan" at the idea of letting citizens have a real say in growth management, as Amendment 4 would allow. However, our government should not spend its time and our money telling us how to vote and Florida has a law that says so.
