It takes a while for those funds to be released to pay for the cleanup. For some reason, the FEMA accounts are fairly depleted. There is accounting juggling going on to secure solid funding.

FEMA hires companies to just pick up Hurricane debris. Today on BV near Lopez there were 3 large dump trucks, with CW truck in front and one behind the third truck, with flashers. There wasn’t any signage on any of the 3 trucks. 6 workers loading. Piles are at least 6’ high with a pile every 20’ or so.

Wildwood is almost finished cleaning up the storm debris in their city. I am glad they have managed the issue so well. They are using their own crews rather than federal government contractors.

If not, what good is paying taxes to Wildwood? Shouldn't they provide services to ALL taxpayers? The streets are their responsibility. |

If I understand correctly, the Villages is reimbursed at a standard roadside maintenance rate per mile for roads in the Villages. Maintenance beyond what the state/ county/ municipality pays is covered be the Villages. (?) |

Ok, would you rather have The Villages pass on the costs for homeowners to pay for cleanup of the trash piles? Didn’t think so.

I think a LOT of people think of "government money" as some honey pot not at all connected to any of "their" money. I remember long ago the small community in which I lived was going to get a free, 100% FREE bridge. They were elated, not a sent of their/or (the residents) money, it was going to be paid for entirely with FEDERAL money, free money, the best kind !
