Taking a few days to clear my head

5/18/2025

Good Monday! Let’s chat a bit.

A friend recently reminded me that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. She said that to me for a reason.

“You need to take a break,” she said. “You need to think about Mike.”

Inspiration from 16 years of life

5/15/2025

Emily PeQueen made my month.

My year, actually. Emily made my year.

You never know when inspiration will arrive, or from what direction. That’s why I try to stay vigilant and willing for little surprises that drop into my life.

It's a shed, right? Not so fast

Meanwhile, they’re building sheds as homes in Beverly Hills.

Oh, hi. Happy Thursday! Just perusing my notes from Tuesday’s County Commission meeting, and there it is:

Beverly Hills woman says a builder is depositing shed-like structures on concrete pads, claiming them as single-family houses.

From my vantage, it's all good

Sitting in the back of the room, my eyes went to the ceiling in thought, searching for a word.

What was it I’m hearing? Politics? Sure, some. Deflection? Yeah, a little.

That wasn’t it, though.

Time to put an end to this mess

5/12/2025

Happy Tuesday! Let’s get to it.

Only the most troublesome Citrus Countian would hope that the 491 mess continues after today’s board meeting. The rest of us who have big plans for our community want to see this settled so we can move on.
​
So, some thoughts:

— It will be discussed PLENTY today. Three commissioners have something at least loosely related to the 491 mess on their agendas.

Closing in on Katy, bar the door

Good Monday! Let’s talk about growth.

First off, two things to know about Commissioner Jeff Kinnard:

One, he’s not a troublemaker. Not a rabble-rouser. Confrontation is not his thing. Sure, he’ll stick to his positions. Jeff’s a pro at reading the room. He knows a commissioner’s job is to get two other votes. Other than that, Kinnard tends to avoid the fray.

Journalism fuels the JWC mission

Happy Friday! I had planned a long, grandpa story from my first job to illustrate today’s point. But the blog became a little lengthy as it is, so I decided to just dive right in.

People want to know why I have a grip on the 491 mess. They wonder why I keep pointing out details, while the powers-that-be say I’m making this far more significant than it really is. We’d be in great shakes with our friends and relationships, if not for that nasty blogger.

Why keep it going? What is my motivation?

It all comes to a head on Tuesday

5/7/2025

Good Thursday, friends! There’s a whole bunch of stuff on Tuesday's County Commission agenda regarding the 491 mess, so let’s pick it apart.
​​
First, to address a reader who wondered whether we are making the matter worse by continuing to talk about it. That’s a point worth discussing.

Well, there’s a practical reason for the continuing conversation. It’s going to sound dumb, but here it is: Three weeks between commission meetings.

Yet another victim of the 491 mess

5/5/2025

Good Tuesday, friends. Time to talk about the elephant in the room.

I’m not yet ready to concede the death of One for All, but I certainly acknowledge its challenges in the wake of the 491 mess.

So, let’s break it down. Is One for All still a potential for the 2026 ballot? And would it have a chance of passing? I have three answers: Yes. No. Maybe.

Blaising through the 491 mess

5/4/2025

Happy Monday! Let’s talk 491 politics.
​
Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, who hasn’t given Citrus County more than a few passing thoughts during his time in office, has jumped into the 491 mess with both feet, extending the debate to an entirely separate — but similar — piece of legislation that he killed on purpose.

If you believe Ingoglia, the legislation was a bad law. Kinda odd since he sponsored it.
