    I hear DCA has gone to hell. Significant layoffs, retriements, and 'resignations.' Sad.

    Fifty percent of the planners along with some executive and administrative personnel are gone from the growth management division. Here's a link to the "progress" report.

    A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.

    Here is another story from today's Orlando Sentinel on the major changes to Florida's growth management regulations. The story credits "Thelma and Louise" as the architects of the bill. That is an error. I know who wrote the bill; "Thelma and Louise" only carried the ball. Otherwise, a fairly accurate story.

    Here's the linky.

    Bump

    Here's a good article that describes what has happened at the state level over the past two years since changes to the growth management act were adopted.

    This is interesting, too. It shows that oversight of local comprehensive plan amendments were totally ignored at the state level in the past two years.

    Wow... the Rick Scott administration doesn't even bother masking the fact that state land planning has been reduced to a rubber stamp in Florida.

    Is the economy turning around at all in FL or is it still stuck in the mud?
