Helicopter of Pasco County Mosquito getting ready to go for Calibration
Today I had the opportunity to tour the Pasco County Mosquito Control District. The helicopter just happened to be taking off while we were touring the facility. I will say the Director Adrian Rogers is very knowledgeable about mosquitos, fascinated by everything I learned today. Saw a few employees at hard at work. They have a really nice campus. The helicopters are 6 seaters, which was surprising to me. One was having its 24 month inspection, the other one we got to watch fly off to go on a mosquito mission. The way they turn is surprising to watch.
Still not convinced they need a New $37 million campus, seems to me the new campus is not really much more central to the county than the current one is. It would seem to make sense to me to open a satellite location on the other side of the county, where they could store the equipment that is frequently used on that side of the county. Ms Rogers said they wanted to keep everything in one location, but I know in life I don't always get what I want, sometimes what we want isn't the best solution. A new Administration building on the current property might be a good idea, the other buildings all seem to be newer. That would not cost anywhere near $37 Million to build. I would think a nice 2 story cinderblock building with a redesigned interior would be the answer at the current location.

Have you heard about the “Live Local Act”? Sounds rather innocuous, but is it? Nope, it’s bad.
I was at the Wesley Chapel Republican Club and heard Seth Weightman speak about the “Live Local Act”. This was pushed by the President of the Senate, Kathleen Passidomo from what i have been told. Senate voted unanimously, house had 6 Nay voted. Beltran from Hillsborough seems to be the only Nay in the Tampa Bay area.
Why do our delegation members all like this bill and our County Commission is ready to sue over it?
Tax Breaks for these developers until 2059, thats 36 years.
Is this a power-grab by the state to stop local control sure looks like it.
I hear a housing crash is happening and i am hearing FORECLOSURES are on the rise.
Stay tuned for more details.

January 4, 2024 Reaction to PCMCD story on abcactionnews.com Finally a positive story for them, but is it really?
Never was "mold" a reason given for the 40+ million dollar move, until today.
Apparently the Lab is in the same building as Administration, so the HVAC systems, if connected you wouldn't the entire building be impacted?
Taxpayers didn't buy the previous reasons, so they've come up with a new narrative.
Who is in charge of building up keep?
