Two thirds of the voters in Sumter County think you are wrong, and they voted accordingly. Reasonable impact fees will not stop growth. Click on the Flagler County link in my original post.
What has been going on in Sumter County is the Developer offloading on to the current residents infrastructure costs that should be the Developer's. This whole matter should have been decided in the last election. Now, for some reason, Mr. Estep has voted to defer doing what he promised to-- reneging on his campaign promise and disappointing the voters who believed him.
