Thanks for this information. I never cease to be amazed at how little the “wealthy” and “well connected” feel the need to contribute to a functioning society. This state seems to have a higher than average number of people who have no regards for anyone not in the absolute top wealth bracket.

Great article. Legal aid programs definitely need to weigh in on this!

Every year there are fewer community banks. For community banks to campaign to cut funding for these programs is short-sighted and senseless. This kind of activity weakens our communities instead of strengthening them. The banks are cutting the reach of the people who are or would be their customers.

It’s no surprise Erin Grall(R-Vero Beach) would introduce a bill to cut legal aid funding that assists battered spouses,their children and disabled veterans. “Pro-lifer” Grall was also one of the architects of our draconian six-week abortion ban.

I would go further and say she is an elitist bitch! Her "Holier than thou" attitude sickens me

Yup - see comment below - I think they are going to evict all of us from Florida.

They are already calling 30A - the South for the Hamptons. It's rather disgusting. I have to laugh too. They dress to the nines and parade around the Rosemary Beach to Seacrest area. - I'm NOT impressed!
