State government plays a crucial role in shaping public policy and governance at the local level. Petitions related to state governments address a wide range of issues, from healthcare and education to environmental protection and civil rights. Recent trends show an increase in petitions advocating for increased transparency and accountability in state government operations, as well as calls for reforms in the criminal justice system.
One notable petition with thousands of signatures calls for increased funding for public schools to ensure equal opportunities for all students. Another petition highlights the need for stronger environmental regulations at the state level to combat climate change and protect natural resources.
Get involved by exploring the petitions on state government issues and adding your voice to the push for positive change. Every signature counts in the fight for a more effective and responsive state government that serves the needs of its citizens.
this is important to me since i have grandparents that i worry about how they are treated in their nursing homes. i want to make sure they are in good hands.
Much of the development is not needed or wanted. Some communities near me have water rationing in place. The environmental impact does not seem to be considered. A community near me fought to keep a small watershed which was a bird sanctuary. They loved it. The commissioners voted to build a Publix. There’s a Publix 1/2 mile away. Very disappointing.
HB 4061 gives developers emminant domain over our water, roads etc. We are retired on fixed income & won't be able to pay the exorbitant rates Mattamy Homes plans to charge residents for 99 years.
I love my home for approximately 23 years in Myakka City, Fl. I can feel my blood pressure drop going East on Fruitvillle rd toward home as I pass cattle, horses, andassorted wildlife. not any more as I see NY City at I-75. It breaks my heart!
This is legislation introduced by the WVID's own House representative, who seems to have the Canadian billionaire who owns a significant portion of Wellen Park, where WVID is located, more than his own American voter constituency. The billionaire Canadian developer seems to have the ear of Florida legislature and Ron DeSantis as previous legislation shows. All of this catering to a billionaire Canadian is at the expense of Real Americans who live in, vote in and pay taxes in WVID, the people that are being attacked by their own legislature.
To the elected officials of Florida. Over the last 60 years I have watched Florida change from agricultural to overpopulated. The developers of West Villages and Wellen park to the best of my knowledge are foreign owned and controlled. Yet they are pouring money into lobbyists and attorneys to attempt to enforce their power over Florida voting citizens. Read the comments of my fellow residents who vote and live in West Villages and Wellen Park and Do the Right Thing!
VOTE NAY for HB 4061!
HB4061 was created by the West Villages Improvement District (WVID) to keep control by the Master Developer in perpetuity and not allow Wellen Park residents their right to additional seats on the five-member governing board.
Based on a comparison of the WVID trim notice which is every assessed unit within the district, to the Sarasota County tax records, 40% of the homes are not homesteaded.
OR
Withdraw HB4061 until the pending litigation on urbanization is closed!
The four members of WVID who are employed by the Master Developer are currently being sued under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act for unethical, deceptive and illegal practices.
WVID is also being sued for signing an illegal 100-year contract related to irrigation water which makes a direct payment to a subsidiary of the Master Developer for obscene fees currently collected from ALL residents of Wellen Park.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter!
