To: Lady Lake Business owners, Entrepreneurs and New Businesses
From: Jim Rietz, Lady Lake Mayor
On behalf of the Lady Lake Town Commission, I am pleased to announce !hat on June 20, 2022, !he Commission voted unanimously to repeal !he annual requirement to acquire a Business Tax Receipt. Two ordinances were adopted that removed all
references to the business taxes from our Code of Ordinances and Land Development Regulations.
After the devastating effect on businesses from the pandemic over the last couple of
years and the uncertain days ahead, the Commission wants to show their support for
local businesses. Locally owned businesses play a major role in healthy communities and contribute to promoting economic opportunity.
Exciting changes are coming to the Farmer’s Market. We understand the confusion surrounding the sudden closure of the market and that many vendors rely on it as a source of income.
Many factors contributed to the temporary closure of the market including ongoing road construction; and the groundbreaking/ construction of a new Public Park for the residents of Lady Lake.
The Lady Lake Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Lady Lake is planning to relaunch the market in February 2023. The market will return with some exciting changes and additions. The ultimate goal of the Chamber is to connect businesses to the local community in a safe and consistent environment.

A friend of mine was telling me about his recent travels. He was in Orange County California at a city park with his Grandchildren. The park was a high end neighborhood, children with their Nannies or parents or Grand Parents.
He said right in the middle of this nicely groomed public park was a Ballot Box. No buildings around it, people on picnic table enjoying the day and right there in the middle of their picnic was this Ballot Box. Suddenly he said wait a minute I think I have a picture. He showed me several pictures his grand children and sure enough there it was. How could there be any security around this ballot box. In daylight or after dark hmmmm??? Well some much for fair elections! The Ballot box #031 had instructions in several languages. I wonder how many of these boxes are out there. People living in the woods could vote before or after breakfast, lunch, and Dinner.
We have to get a handle on our election laws! Now I hear they are trying to make all of the people that came over the border US Citizens. Clean up the swamp!

Electric Vehicles are way to expensive and unreliable. We would also have to rely on materials mined from China. Are you starting to get the picture??
In the UK they have had to shut down charging stations because they could not produce enough electricity to charge the cars and supply the homes all night. Now remember our government talking about rolling outages here already.
There is no way a charging station can charge 2,000 electric vehicles in one night. It would take 600 50 watt chargers at a cost of over 20 million dollars, it would take 30 megawatts of power from the grid. Look at it this way that is what 20,000 homes use.
OK let’s look at selling a used electric vehicle. The seller would have to replace the batteries before they sell it and that would put the price of the used cars way above what a used car cost today. A twelve year old electric vehicle would be on it’s third set of batteries. A Tesla battery cost about $10,000. Continue reading

How do we get back to where we were. How can we make a difference? Think about it as a staircase. The staircase to success and family stability was good (2020) not perfect but good, between then and now the stairway above us is littered with dead COVID bodies, Children being killed at school, devious lying people, Illegal Foreigner, criminals, Pandemic from Illegals coming across the border, drugs dealers, life time politician’s, land grabbers, murders and we are on the bottom step, so we have a lot of clean up to get back up the stairway to the American Dream!
WAIT…. I think I got it. If they let enough strangers and some crooks and drug dealers in our country will no longer be the American Dream it will be the American Nightmare. No one wants to swim a Dangerously large river, pay a Coyote to lie to them, steal their money, Use their children as sex slaves, get control of their family’s and threaten to kill them if they don’t carry drug across the border to get to the American Nightmare. We are on our way to a bad dream, if we live through it… it will become a Nightmare.
What do we do to fix this? Continue reading
Rock the Red a Conservative Republican Rally was a great success. It was held at the Ocala Live stock Pavilion. When I saw the number’s that the local daily printed I knew that was wrong and misleading, the official count was 2,034 which was 4 times what they printed in the daily, people were showing up all day long at the 13 hour event. There were a lot of Tea Party people attending. This all day event featured musicians, speakers, and booths starting at 10am. I love this picture, the look on this ladies face while posing with a Trump poster. This picture was sent to me by the REC Chair Brigitte Smith who got it from Tea Party member’s. I want to thank them all for the effort. I will apologize for the mis information by the daily newspaper, I am only a monthly so I have a little more time to get it right. Organizer Justin Williams with Rock the Red was disappointed in the coverage.
The CEP Ocala Metro Chamber of Commerce held this months after hours at the Paddock Mall. Great food by Crazy Cucumber, thank you. There was entertainment suppled by the Mall. The CEP representative Tom James presented Jamie Zimbleman, MBA General Manager of the Mall a plaque thanking him and the Mall for sponsoring their fourth annual After Hours.

Rock the Red was a great success. Hundreds of people attended. Hundreds during the day and at least doubled that at night. The event presented the showing of the controversial video 2,000 mules. The video shows people in real life stuffing ballot boxes in the middle of the night. They have their cell phone numbers so they know who they are. They used Cell phone tracking devices to place that person at that ballot box, it show where they and when. This was done in seven battle ground states and it proves wrong doing. Of course the left denies it but in the early stage of this happening they caught some and arrested them through finger prints on the envelopes. The next night they started wearing gloves which is shown on the video. A lot of the news media want to move on but we have to look back to see what happened and pass laws to stop it. We need free honest elections. I believe when over 50% of the American people see this video there will be drastic change. Continue reading
