On the agenda...Report on possible changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code requested by the Board of County Commissioners on January 24, 2017, regarding use of a special magistrate or hearing officer to hear all quasi-judicial land development issues.

I hope SoWal is watching this issue as SoWal residents are the most affected by this outrageous plan by Tony Anderson to appoint a special magistrate to do the job he and the other BCC members was elected to do.

1.) It will cost the taxpayers more money. (Tax Increases)

2.) It will prevent constituents from speaking out regarding issues with the LDC and Comp Plan.

3.) It will allow the BCC to avoid conflicts of interests so they don't have to recuse themselves when their political donors submit development plans that change the LDC and Comp Plan. This is not what they were elected to do!

4.) Why should the BCC be allowed to shirk their responsibilities to the voting public and hire a special magistrate? There is NO GOOD REASON!!

5.) If the public allows this to go forward by remaining silent they have no right to complain when big development comes to their backyard. This is not a NIMBY issue.

6.) Removing the politics by which we should ALL be governed is not optional! It is the foundation by which we ELECT our representatives and the public good should be the role of the BCC, not developers with agendas!
