Congratulations Candy Lowe


Tampa City Council Commendation Presented 
to Candy Lowe Community Organizer HERE

Words Of Commissioner Smith

Although we lost on the motion to rescind the vote that rammed through the County’s "guiding principles" for growth and development, we didn’t let it slide quietly by, and the fight against sprawl isn’t over! Thank you to all who wrote in and showed up today to speak at public comment, you made 
a strong showing.
---
Commissioners Pat Kemp and Kimberly Overman joined me in fighting to rescind and undo the trampling of process. The development principles now stand as adopted last Thursday, including the "Sector Plan" tool for sprawl. We will bring back the "development principles" at a future meeting which will allow for public comment this time. The date has not yet been set. Stay tuned…

In a move initiated by Commissioner Mariella Smith, the board walked back a vote at a workshop last Thursday approving a guiding document for creating “a balanced approach to community building.”
The vote to rescind the approval fell along the same lines as the initial workshop vote with Smith and Pat Kemp voting to overturn the vote and Commissioners Kimberly Overman, Ken HaganStacy WhiteSandy Murman and Les Miller voting against. HERE
