"DIVIDE AND CONQUER,CASSELBERRY DOMINANCE"

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF COMMUNISM,Casselberry style.A simple look at how the city mayor and commissioners have ruined so many businesses by taking over land properties and the forcing out business owners ,out of the city or out of business. We can look at the business property that has been bought with our tax dollars and the homeowners also forced out of their homes.Two proposed flyovers have taken and wrecked our city in the guise of doing something good. Now how could projects progress when they have been voted down,the data showing the flyovers not being good or beneficial,the business owners and residents rejecting them and the main reason too boot,no funding to build.The Mayor proudly has badgered the Metro plan of the area cities to "DEMAND"her far share which equates to$75 million to start building the flyovers yet still being $200-$500 million short to complete the jobs.Ah,you ask how will a project this size get the remaining capitol to finish?Taxes,taxes that will come without asking the public for approval!Ouch, that has to hurt? Well yes it has,approx. 20 homeowners were forced out of their homes[eminent domain]. If you notice the disappearance of many landmark buildings and businesses to see empty lots you are correct.When you add up how many properties have been bought and torn down with our own tax dollars you will be sick.To find out the motive to close some of the businesses was not to build the flyovers but to put out of business "ADULT ENTERTAINMENT" that should question if that was lawful not whether you agree with that type of business.If you look at each business within a half mile of each intersection most have gone or will be gone or will have substantial losses before,during and after construction.Now that these businesses are going, going ,gone, what is the plan to resurrect our ghost town and new businesses? you won't believe it the city plans to build dense buildings which would predominantly be up to 10 story buildings,hotels and office buildings?Wait a minute,would you think that these kind of buildings will be compatible with our residential area communities,"NO" it will ruin our city,it will fundamentally change our city, the appearance of our city and everyone will loose.How can the city make us pay for such a lame brain poorly decided plan?They have threatened,intimidated and extort the money from us while deliberately lying and deceiving us, shame on them. No one with all the facts would allow these flyovers to continue specially during such poor economic times it is a crime to have ruined so many businesses and not built good community values-shame on them.
