Records show lobbyists representing Sarasota homebuilders Pat Neal and Carlos Beruff objected to legislation to fix Senate Bill 180, which has undermined growth-management laws around Florida.
Excellent article. Well - we get what we elect and when state politicians like Senator Passidomo and others represent special interests over voters, it’s time for voters to start voting differently. Senator Passidomo got the ball rolling with this with 180 - with punitive legislation aimed directly at Naples….then it spread. This more than anything, will be her legacy.
What’s funny is publicly every lawmaker is jumping on the “over crowded, over developed” Florida bandwagon. Until it’s time to pass legislation to address it.
For now, they get to have and eat their cake. We need to find ways to get them to regret that third piece of cake.

Just to emphasize: Passidomo voted *for* Senate Bill 840.
Yes I do. However, she began this whole mess - creating legislation in SB180 targeted specifically at Naples.

I don’t think they are being sincere - the get $$$ from developers/developer interests. They will care about it…until after the election.
