SUPPORT FLORIDA HOMETOWN DEMOCRACY PETITION

If you're tired of urban sprawl, constant land use plans changed over which you had no control, more traffic congestion to name a few, then you'll support the FLORIDA HOMETOWN DEMOCRACY in their efforts to change it for the betterment of your community.

This group was organized by two attorneys with years of experience in land use matters.  Leslie G.  Blackner is senior partner in BLACKNER STONE & ASSOC., in Palm Beach, Florida specializing in Administrative, Environmental and Land Use Law.  Ross S. Burnaman, a Tallahassee attorney, spent years as Staff Attorney for FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS with responsibility of land use planning.

Ms Blackner has represented enough private citizens in challenging land use planning to know what it takes to fix the problems.  Their petition is in step with what both the US and Florida Supreme Courts have already ruled - VOTERS HAVE THE FINAL VOTE ON PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGES WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

The solution is simple and so well stated by FLORIDA HOMETOWN DEMOCRACY, "AMENDMENT SIMPLY TAKES THE CONFIDENCE THAT THE US AND FLORIDA SUPREME COURTS HAVE IN THE PEOPLE AND ENSHRINES THAT CONFIDENCE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS".
