They recommended Tracy Louthain form the TDC. Not Stacey. And Smiling Joe it was nice to meet you.
He wasn't there!!!
Seriously, he wasn't there after all that lecturing.

SJ was not there. The TDC said they will hold yet another workshop. One more meeting I have to go to. Just one question though, who gives the TDC their power and jurisdiction? I hate research.
Oh I forgot, SJ stayed up all night something about coke and caffine. I read this on the other thread he posted.
Don't give up, y'all. Our neighborhood lost a big battle with the commissioners last summer. Rather than giving up, we kept corresponding with them using logical, well-thought-out arguments, and we won "the war" this fall.
Those of us who have sent email to the TDC regarding the signs now need to contact the BCC if unable to attend any of their meetings. We might have lost a battle, but we haven't lost the war.

A male council member then took up where she left off, lecturing us on the concept of "branding" and the need for cohesiveness.
Isn't that the same reasoning behind "The Beach"??????
Sorry Punzy
that you guys got the cya treatment. I was in Pensacola this morning or I would have been there as well.
It has always been my understanding that the reason for a workshop is to get feedback from the public. All the ones I attend for the city are open to the public.

Thanks for the thorough report Rapunzel.
Thanks to Dave Rauschkolb for all of his efforts.
Sounds like the TDC did their homework and had a well planned pre- emptive response, on all fronts, to directly circumvent any criticism or confrontation about said ugly signs.
The answer is not to repaint parts of the signs or plant palmettos at the base--I think it is high time to be more confronational about this, why should everyone walk on egg shells on this topic? I have paid into the bed tax with my rental houses for many years, so what is my return?

Would have been hilarious if someone at the meeting dropped trou and showed a Sowal tattoo w/ a "No, this is good branding!" :rofl:

First of all, Andy A. -- best of luck to you and your wife; I have also heard nothing but great things about M.D. Anderson. Nice of you to take the time to attend the meeting.
Thanks Punzy for the full report, and for the other reports rolling in, and big thanks to Dave for spearheading such a thoughtful protest.
My first thought is that BR is right; it's time to focus attention on the BCC, since the TDC does not want to budge much.
My other immediate thought is that the "workshop" may indeed be open to the public, whether the TDC wants it to be or not. Florida's Sunshine Laws are very liberal in that regard.

Sunshine laws would apply then?
