Turnpike Extension Authority has paused because of the pressure put on by the Florida people during an election year. The Turnpike extension is on pause only. That means they will be back. It will not be over until the Turnpike Authority Extension is disbanded. The North Central Florida land owners should not have go through this every few years. Some people sold their homes because of the stress involved in the battle. I say to Governor DeSantis please disband the TurnPike Authority Enterprise and see that those people have a job with DOT. As I see it the Turnpike is finished other than just maintenance and so should the Turnpike Authority, turn it over to DOT. The Turnpike management group ran out of project and need to prove value to their existence. So they come and take our Farm Land , Ranch Land, our residential lot’s., You know kind of like what the Chinese are doing buying up our lands. Stop China from buying our land and stop the Turnpike Authority Enterprise from taking our land. The people have spoken. Disband the Turnpike Authority! Save the tax payer money.

I have had several people say 2000 was a clean election, well it was not! I already printed the story about 2,000 mules now this one. They just convicted a women in Texas of 26 counts of voter fraud. She was in charge of voter harvesting operation who’s job was to change the results of the election. Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed a new election integrity law in the state.
I heard that Dr Faui said the COVID shot was not a vaccine. So I did a search and could find Dr.Fauci name anywhere near the word COVID. Interesting! Continue reading
Over the next several months, you are going to be frequently seeing and hearing Vote Yes! from the CEP. Our Board has formally endorsed the renewal of the 1 Mil School Referendum. This renewal is incredibly significant to the continued growth of our community. It is important to me that our community understands why you should Vote Yes!
First, this is neither a new tax or a tax increase. It simply maintains the status quo. The revenue collected from the 1 Mil are dedicated to several key areas: classroom size reduction, art, music, PE, library, and Career/Technical Education. Additionally, the renewal will allow the School System to continue to fund vital safety measures such as school resource officers. All expenditures are carefully reviewed by an Independent Oversight Committee. All of these are important initiatives but I want to highlight Career/Technical Education and Safety. Continue reading
Dear friends,
August 23rd is the date for party preference primaries and we want to make the customary plea of asking that you show up to the polls and help us elect strong, constitutional candidates that will carry us forward in to the general election. Be sure to look out for the new districts that were redrawn this year, you may not be voting in the same district number that you were previously. There are many maps floating around out there and various “find your elected officials” links online, but many of them either are not accurate or are not up to date. Always consult with your Supervisor of Elections if you are unsure.
We are thankful not to have drawn a primary challenger this cycle. It is a testament to the trust that you have placed in us, the strong team that we have built together, and our shared love for faith, family, freedom, opportunity and life. We have drawn a democrat challenger in the newly drawn Senate District 13. This district includes now all of Lake County and part of western Orange County. We look forward to the opportunity to contrast our principles of personal accountability, freedom and prosperity, versus the left’s vision of no accountability, big-government tyranny, and deprivation.

NOTARY FRAUD?
Apparently the assumed protection of using a NOTARY is bogus!
To be recorded, a document/deed has to be notarized.
The State of Florida is supposed to ‘register and regulate’ Public Notaries.
Your County Recording Department does not verify, or even check that a document is genuine.
Your County Recording Department does not verify or check that the Notary even exists! Continue reading
