Take a moment to read this thought provoking piece entitled Beauty vs. The Beast by Julie Hauserman in today's (Feb. 28th) Tampa Tribune. The coming storm facing the City of Anna Maria is not new to Florida. For the most part, this city has been able to escape developer influence in the last 50 years. But this week will be a watershed moment in our history and our future. The November election ushered in new energy and new ideas and new initiatives which have appeared to set us on a proper course and to some extent have provided a false sense of security. But do not be fooled and do not be complacent. The votes we have taken for granted are slipping and the direction in which our elected officials choose to take us is dependent upon your voice being heard. Let each of the City Commissioners and the Mayor know how you feel and do it today. Emails for each of the Commssioners can be found HERE or by simply clicking their respective emails below:

As always, thanks for reading. And come back, often.
Oh yes, show up at City Hall this Thursday March 4th. It is only the most important meeting this City has seen in 40 years. Really, it is.
