What commissioners have done — without mercy:
• June 3rd — “𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.”
• June — Shredded a 12-year public-comment policy to shrink voices.
• June — Canceled a meeting — a classic Heckler’s veto.
• July 1st — Forced sworn statements — compelled speech and a hit to free expression.
• Sept 2nd — Used the dais for personal grievances instead of governing.
• Sept 2nd — Declared they “won’t legislate” animal welfare — open dereliction.
• Sept 2nd — Sent Paul (law enforcement) to intimidate a citizen for making one sound.
• Nov 18th — Told the public “𝗯𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲” — an unconstitutional condition.
• Nov 18th — Applause for teachers, silence for animal advocates — viewpoint discrimination.
All this because citizens begged for the bare minimum animal protections: stop transfers to abusers, stop chaining, stop the killing inside Florida’s #1 kill shelter.
