Have you noticed Port Orange is starting to look a little shabby? I mean let’s look at the medians… Trash, cigarette butts, tall grass and my personal favorite; weeds. I wonder if its because of recent cutbacks to the budget in Port Orange? Can we no longer afford to live in a clean community?
What about the traffic snarl at South Williamson and Taylor Road? You didn’t believe widening the road beneatht he I-95 overpass was going to fix things did you? when I saw the plans a few years back I said it wasnt going to solve the problem. Well it wasn’t going to solve the traffic problem we have all become accustomed to. The problem it did solve seem’s to help the developer’s… Now they can build more homes… Yippee! Of course I think that problem has been taken care of by the bursting of the housing bubble… Way too many homes and not enough buyer’s should help to protect our city from further raping and pillaging for a while…
Now it seems the big fight is on for an Interchange on Pioneer Trail and I-95. This ought to be interesting…
Did I hear right? Did Mayor Allen Green of Port Orange, Florida actually suggest using employee retirement funds to help offset costs for his friends “Riverwalk” project? Well actually I heard he wanted to invest the employees retirement funds into the Riverwalk project. If the developer won’t put his own money into it why in the world would you ask employees of the city to gamble their retirement money on it? If anyone can shed some light on this please drop me a line…
Welcome to my blog. My plan here is to vent my frustrations with everything from life to politics. Lord knows we have enough material to keep me busy for some time. If you have lived in this area long enough you know what I am talking about. If you just moved here… I would suggest you go back to where you came from. The landscape may look appealing to you now but give it a few years and yes, it will closely resemble what you left. Why? Well you of course. Now before someone calls me on the carpet, yes I was born elsewhere. So yes, one could say the same about me. However, I had no choice I was six. So lets see… It’s 2007 and I am going to be 42, so I have been here for 36 years. I think that for starters, I have right to complain about the conditions here and second because I have tried to do something about it, I have the right to complain as well. I also vote. Looking at the stats from previous elections most of you don’t. I can only say that you are a sad, sad bunch of people. Politics are the way they are because of you. Period. If you were as dedicated to the process of electing people that control your lives as you are worried about who is going to win American Idol the world would be a much better place.
I think that should be all for today. By now some of you are wondering just who the hell I think I am and others are saying, “Right on!!!!”. Post your comments. I love debating as I almost never lose. If you want to complain about what’s bugging you, post that as well. I want to hear it all.
