Enough will never be enough

This morning, our Martin County Commission voted unanimously….5-0….. to initiate the formation of a special tax assessment for all property owners in unincorporated Martin County, and more! 90 new assessment areas are proposed to finance basic governmental operations, long neglected, as our commissioners continue on their legacy building endeavors. They raised your taxes last September […]

Don’t make our mistake!

Salerno, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound. Please- learn from Palm City’s ridiculous blunder and don’t make our mistake. Today, the Martin County Commission voted 3 to 2, to acquire 6 acres of land within the CRA at a whopping $4 million PRE INTEREST. The likely final bill will fall closer to $5- $5.5 Million, depending on […]

THEY THINK WE’RE STUPID!

There you go, I said it. OUR county commissioners must think we are stupid. Today, on the October 10th draft agenda, it is confirmed. Our commission thinks their constituents are idiots- or they simply don’t think about us at all. The very first item to be taken up – after one of the most contentious […]

…not of the world (that I know of), but of the fiscal year. Budget workshop has come and gone, and the first of two approval meetings has completed. More that 3 dozen people spoke at the first budget hearing, and close to one hundred people attended. The message was clear: don’t raise our taxes. The […]

Consistently inconsistent

I write this, this evening, in utter disbelief of the logical inconsistencies of our current county commission. On July 17th, at the annual budget workshop, our commissioners devolved beyond a heated debate and into something I can only call unprofessional. Comments from several commissioners to their colleagues that were clearly intended to shame them into […]

Big Money!

It’s that time of year again, budget release. The 2024 tentative budget for Martin County has been released, and it’s a doozy to say the least. $643 Million, an increase of almost 15% has been proposed for the next fiscal year- excluding school taxes. Funding the $84 million year over year increase comes (mostly) from […]
