The Receipts

When the promises and the paperwork stop matching — pay attention.

I sat down at my desk with the county's own documents — all 1,367 pages. I couldn't get through every one, but I read the Development Agreement itself: a 21-page binding contract buried inside that packet. Here's what I found.

This isn't anger. It isn't a personal attack. These are receipts — I'm looking for a full understanding of how this is truly best for the community. That road isn't coming through my neighborhood anymore. But as a resident — not as a candidate — I still have to stand for clarity and full transparency. Receipts, not accusations.

The Receipts

---

1. Council votes 13 rezoning ordinances, a brand-new “PD-MUV Village” district, and the binding Development Agreement — all on Second Reading Aug. 24.
2. The county’s own traffic study grades US 17A & Black Tom Road at LOS “F” — even after every promised fix is built (packet pp. 583–584).
3. The DA “specifically exempts” the developer from providing schools, police, health, libraries, public housing, jails, courts, and trash (packet p. 1290).
4. Zero affordable housing — the words “affordable,” “workforce,” “low-income” appear nowhere in the DA (full text).
5. They’re up-zoning agricultural land into the village — not down-zoning.
6. $10M for roads, paid out slowly, that by their own study still doesn’t fix the failing intersection (packet p. 1296).
7. Locked in for 20 years, still full of “[RESERVED]” blanks (packet pp. 1296, 1299).
