Please move on!! Chamber, City, County etc. Great work. With all of the not so good economic news this is so great for Winter Haven and East Polk County. The negatives are so outweighed by the positives it is unbelievable!! As a Board member of East Polk County Board of Realtors I can say we passed a Unanimous resolution of support at our last board meeting, I hope this got to the city in time!! We are so excited about the prospects of what this can do for our area. Those of you that have been against this I hope you will now see how important this is for the area. Great job Bob!!!

You obviously never have. I'd suggest you do so. They're found at: www.ethics.state.fl.us. Your scurrilous innuendo is pathetic and typical of those who speak (or write) without knowing anything about what they're espousing.

This morning, I spoke as a citizen on behalf of neighbors about some impacts which are likely to occur and concerns that the city and the county need to plan for. With all of us being proactive and working together, we can address these issues. There are many wonderful opportunities to look forward to and I share the excitement of more jobs and economic development. IMO everyone made valuable comments today during the public process.

The first question I have is why has Lakeland waited until the 11th hour to raise these issues? Is it that they want to work with the City of Winter Haven or perhaps they want to place roadblocks in front of this project? Secondly, it is high time that the County Attorney visit with a certain County Commissioner and County Planning Commissioner on what is and is not ethical behavior. Thank you Bob.
