Sign petition to stop endless growth 9 June 2007 Palm
Bay's plan to sprout up to10,000 single and multi-family homes on the
green-space corridor land it recently annexed from the county is a
classic example of why Florida needs the Florida Hometown Democracy
Amendment. Palm Bay's city manager Lee Feldman may want
Miami-like density in Micco, but that kind of change requires a
comprehensive plan amendment. Most comprehensive plan amendments
involve a requested increase in density. The Florida Hometown
Democracy Amendment will give voters a veto over local comprehensive
plan amendments that have been approved by their city or county
commission. In other words, let the people vote! Voters must
understand that growth decisions are political decisions. No developer
or property owner is entitled to an automatic increase in density. When
our elected officials, like those in Palm Bay, refuse to protect our
quality of life from unending over-development, we must take back that
power for ourselves. We can do that through the Florida Hometown
Democracy Amendment. That's why we need your help to put this historic
amendment on the 2008 ballot. We need voters to sign the petition. Go to www.floridahometowndemocracy.com
or call (866) 779-5513 for petitions. Do your small part and make it
happen. Michael Myjak |
