I keep asking myself, would this have happened if Gary Morse was still alive and running operations?



You are too far into the conspiracy camp.....thinking the Developer controls commissioners and tax increases.


The Impact Fee is/was set, why would a business go to the county and ask for an increase?? If the county doesn't do it, TV houses are cheaper.


As I said, the developer will maintain their 30% margin.
