An amazing business day comes to an end with the stark realization that government in Volusia County is comprised almost entirely of self-important blowhards. I am beginning to understand why commercial real estate which offers marginal returns is getting serious looks from investors. There is little or no hope of getting a project off of the ground in or around DeLand. The notion that somehow curtailing smart growth with a naked power grab on the upcoming ballot would be comical were it not so blatantly orchestrated.
To all within range of my (blogging) voice: Vote an emphatic "NO" to every ballot initiative. The County of Volusia wants to override every other decision-making entity in the state of FL, AND receive a pay raise in the process. Reagan was right when he said that the scariest two sentences in the English language are "I'm from the government. I'm here to help."
Yikes...
Got the tenth anniversary with the wife tonight, so more to follow on the morrow.
