Re: Have not heard anything about the horse park proposal in DeBary
Four candidates will be fighting for seats on the DeBary City Council in November.
Mayor George Coleman, a retired postmaster, is up against Bob Garcia, a retired Army man who ran for mayor of Deltona in 1995.
Seeking to replace outgoing Vice Mayor Chris Carson are Van Conoley, a retired math teacher, and Mark Allen Meister, a former supervisor at an ambulance company.
One hot issue will be a proposed quarter-horse racetrack along Dirksen Drive and U.S. Highway 17-92. A developer has yet to submit formal plans to the city, but he has asked the state for a permit to run the track and a poker room.
So far, none of the candidates have expressed support. Meister has made strong statements against the proposal. Garcia has said that it might boost the economy but suggested that residents be mailed ballots so they could vote, though he did not propose a formal referendum.
