Will be a very interesting election. Based on story in yesterdays Sun, do believe the developer will pick his own candidates and finance their campaigns to the hilt!

And that would be different from the elections in the past how?

Hey, then we won’t see new taxes on businesses and the much needed STR restrictions. Instead we will have a developer leaning “Yes sir!” group running the county with kickbacks abounding.

Easy to create disposable email and phone numbers. Information gets scraped and sold

Never said I approved of the practice, just that it happens every election. I would put my full support behind any candidate, regardless of who endorses them, if they made an election campaign promise to attempt to put much needed restrictions on short term rentals, with real enforcement.

Me too! Hopefully we don’t get a lot of hot air from candidates this time. Democracy serves the will of the people, not the will or “wisdom” of the elite few. Representatives need to represent, even if it goes against personal beliefs or positions.

You have to love what Orlando did last year, landlords have to live in the domicile while renting it out.
