Broward Housing Solutions is pretty great and sending some funding their way would likely be helpful.

This is pretty cool. Who would've thought I'd be scrolling through Reddit to find something on the Plantation Mayoral race. I guess I have a few questions:

  • Do you have a preferred candidate for the open state house seat in District 98?
  • More of a school board issue, but how can we work to improve public schools in Plantation? With the exception of Central park and maybe South Plantation, most schools in the city are not the greatest.
  • Unscrupulous sober homes and recovery residences in the area have become a real issue amongst the general public, with the general attitude being a simple "not in my back yard" outlook. Local government's ability to regulate gets a bit grey when we consider the ADA and FL Fair Housing Act, due to the fact government cannot require a sober home operator to seek licensure if they are not providing what is statutorily considered substance abuse services. Do you have any suggestions relating to how the city should go about regulating bad actors while still staying within the confines of the law?
  • Do you have an opinion on the big Hyatt law suit that the city went through for I don't even know how many years?
  • Any thoughts on drainage issues in the Acres or the ridiculous tree permits that Broward County requires for an entity like SFWMD to come out and trim dangerous foliage? This presents a real problem in the event of a hurricane because debris gets knocked everywhere.
  • Thoughts on Rep Randy Fine's bill from last session relating to the interruption of services like trash collection (HB 971)? If you're not familiar with the bill, it would mandate that local governments could not charge for services like trash collection unless those services were actually provided. (e.g. in a hurricane, if garbage is not collected on Tuesday night as it was scheduled to be, should homeowners still receive a full bill for that month, the same as if service were not interrupted?)
  • What makes you the best qualified candidate? Can you list your top 5 priorities, if elected?

I think it's really cool you're doing this. Good luck in the election, my friend. November is going to be messy all across this state I think.
