Polk Fail: Watering Limit but Unlimited Building?

Polk County is under what is being called a “Modified Phase III water shortage.” That means once-per-week watering and modified hours for residences, yet for many years prior to this “emergency” constituents here have been asking our elected officials for a moratorium on residential building construction in large part so this type of absurdity wouldn’t have to happen to us, to the people who already live here.

Just a two-year moratorium, we asked, but apparently here in Florida, we elect politicians who lack critical thinking skills, who are dull-minded, and who have their monied hands open under their respective tables. Those are unqualified leaders. But now those same leaders want us to restrict our water usage until some time next year in spite of the fact that we have been moving out of a drought for months. (Not out but not dry as rock either.) I have exactly two words to scream at non-thinking politicians in this county but censorship exists in the “free state” of Florida.

DAVENPORT POLITICIANS & GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES yeah, you with the claims that your hands are tied:

If you don’t respect our need to require limits on housing construction, then, don’t expect us to follow your needy restrictions either. We need a long-overdue housing moratorium now.

Signed, People
