Actually, I can't even find a word to express what I'm feeling about this suppression of the true and total news. Personally, I do not consider TV a "suburb" of Orlando. It was quite a drive from the airport, actually.
I guess everyone wants to keep a "pristine" image of their beloved hometown, however, smart folks catch on really fast as the truth is uncovered and shared.
God only knows our Governor let it "all hang out" about the heroin epidemic in our state, once considered "God's Country". Our news even made the New York Times.
People will make their own educated decisions, one way or another.
Especially those who've lived here 50 years or more and know what it
used to be...........before the city gangs came up to sell their drugs.
Our problem is surmountable thanks to the drug task force and irate stance of our people who do not want these gangs coming up to our state......however, MOTHER NATURE IS ANOTHER STORY. Difficult to deal with natural disasters..........and I include sinkholes in natural disaster category. Very sad scenario for the homeowner, even with adequate insurance. Who would want to buy that home and that property? WE were looking for a gently used home, if truth be told.
Thanks for sharing your info.
