Why in the Heck is the U.S. sending $118 billion to other countries?! We cannot afford this!!!!! Why is it that the U.S. citizens have no say in this and Congress just spends whatever they want??? We Must elect new leadership in this country!! If not, It’s only going to get worse.
Agreed David
@David,
Yes, I know. That was an interjection tying into my comment about safe neighborhoods.
That is why I stated “back to the national level…”.
@ FLC = Matlow isn’t involved with sending Money to other Countries, he is a City Commissioner. It is Gov. DeSantis and the State Legislature doing it.
I pay taxes to support my community’s infrastructure. NOT to send it to other countries!
I want good roads, reliable utilities, and SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS! You listening Matlow? We need law enforcement to make our city safe from those that you want to let run rampant on us.
Back to the national level – we are sending money to Gaza and Israel? Aid to both sides of the conflict? Our politicos must have investments in the industrial war machine and want to keep this conflict going.
Why is even a single penny of our tax money going anywhere but back to us the US citizens? Sending our money overseas is NOT what we pay taxes for!
Well done to the two that have opposed this. I cannot say here what I think of those that have supported this.
WHY THE HE_ _ is Florida sending Money WE need to along with billions more in aid to other Countries. $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for Gaza and billions more for other regions. Over $84 Billion Dollars that can be used HERE fixing Roads and Bridges and Interstates that need repair.
Regarding the Charter Review Committee? How was Ms. Bryant appointed to this board? She is a mouthpiece and sidekick of Curtis Richardson who does the bidding for Curtis. Curtis never did produce the out of the sunshine text message between he and Ms Bryant when she was appointed to the city commission. Still waiting on that. Curtis…
So, is it safe to say that Curtis is behind this nonsense regarding adding more dysfunction to the city commission and to line his own pockets by putting Ms. Bryant up to this nonsense? Curtis must go!
