Help Get Pamela Jo Hatley On Our Planning Commission

Our Planning Commission reviews development proposals and makes recommendations to our county & city governments about what kind of development to allow where. They help plan how our transportation systems will fit into our communities and whether our natural resources will be protected, or not, as we grow. Several seats are about to open up on this important board.

Hillsborough County Commissioners have been known to fill these seats with their cronies within the development industry — especially if they think no one is watching. (The Planning Commission is currently overweighted with developers.) We need to urge them to appoint Planning Commissioners who will represent the best interests of our whole community — not just developers' interests — as we plan for future growth.

Please urge our County Commissioners to appoint Pamela Jo Hatley to the Planning Commission.

Nanette O'Hara

The Secret Garden Of SOG City

One of the first things I did when I got back from the Persian Gulf War was to kill off the lawn, shit-can the mower, and mulch both the front and back yards. My next move entailed planting flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, and colorful ornamentals. Going green was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Now, while the mowers are fuming around the neighborhood,
I just kick back in the shade and toss back a couple of ice cold brewskis.
