Conservatives victory over Liberals
"Conservatives Score Decisive
Victories 0ver Liberals"
by Philip Tropea
The state-wide gubernatorial election gains of the 4-year
old Conservative Party of N.Y.S. despite the 22-year influence
of the Liberal Party signifies the increased dissatisfaction of
the liberal-inspired welfare state programs of subsidized rent
forced bussing and inflation via economy-crippling dencit spending
598,000 -608,000
Gubernatorial Election in N.Y.S.
The once midas-like touch of Liberal Party bosses Alex Rose
and David Dubinsky has crumbled in their desperate attempt
to have the ultra-liberal name of Roosevelt score a smashing
victory over Paul Adams and thereby emasculate the alternative
voice of Conservatism in N.Y.S. The soft-spoken but steadfast
Paul Adams, who is a Doctor of History and Vice President of
Rochester's Weslyan College, admirably carried the conservative
torch passed by the 1965 mayoralty candidate William F. Buckley
despite an almost complete news coverage blackout by the liberal
news media.
On Oct. 25, 1965 Liberal Boss Dubinsky explained the endorsement
of "lefty Lindsay" for Mayor (whom he admitted
even more left than Beame!) in full-page ads in three N.Y. papers
Dubinsky prophesized that if the liberals backed a victorious
"lefty Lindsay" then other Republicans in order to get elected
must act like Lindsay. At the same time Dubinsky concluded
that the Democrats would make drastic concessions to the liberals
in order to competewiththe Republicans to get liberal endorsement.
But due to the 400% increase in Conservative votes since the 1962
Gubernatorial election, the Conservative Party has torn away
the strangle hold that the liberals had on state politics. To paraphrase
Dubinsky. "In order for politicians to win the next election
they will have to act like Conservatives Paul Adams and William
F. Buckley."
When conservative-minded people will Stop voting for whom the
"phony polls and liberal news media consider the winner to
be and instead vote on principles alone, the Conservative Party
will score smashing victories.
Surely the overwhelming defeat of the Civilian Review Board by
a 5 to 3 vote certainly indicates dormant Conservative strength.
Locally, conservatives outpolling the liberals 2 to I substantially
provided the critical swing vote for conservative endorsed
candidates such as Congressman Paul Fino. Senator Calandra,
Assemblyman-elect Fusco and (so far as latest count indicates)
delegates to the Constitutional Convention, Mastandrea. Drohan
and Charles Rice, Vice Chairman of Conservative Party. N.Y.S.
Last, but most significant is Governor-elect Ronald Reagan's'
amazing plurality of nearly one million votes in defeating incumbent
Governor Brown of California. This victory marks an historic
precedent for future conservative victories throughout the country
in elections to come. PWT

Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)

Open Letter to Citizens/Friends of Downtown Palm Harbor-Aug 2011

Palm Harbor Citizens, say 'NO' to the Pinellas County Commissioners' proposed Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) change to the guidelines of The Historic Palm Harbor Master Plan. The change allows Geographic Solutions (GS) (a sophisticated employment agency contracted by the Pinellas County Commissioners, now housed in 4 separate buildings), to erect a 44 foot tall, 19,500 sq. ft. building (4,000 sf-1st floor, 8,000 sf-2nd floor, 7,500 sf-3rd floor) with 28 parking spaces on the first floor of the building. The present company of 79 employees expects to employ 150 people. As the economy improves, it's logical that GS will grow requiring another drastic change for another 3-story building.
The County Planning Department 'Change' considers the aggregate 695 parking spaces (417 public/278 private) to be a more important consideration than people, by decreasing the present parking formula for store owners, and 'swapping' parking spaces of one property with those of another property. This may be achieved by the elimination of some prevailing restriction on the 'giving' owner, with respect to trees, etc.
This 'acrobatic swapping' of buildings and parking spaces defy real estate logic and building guidelines, and creates property inequities. These changes may require 'Condemnation of Property' by 'Eminent Domain'? At the July 20th meeting, two neighbors decried the forced downsizing of their driveway which decreased their property values, and created driveway
parking problems.
A strange corollary is that while GS identifies 'Green Industries' as part of their business, the Planning Department will use 'old-fashioned' Progress Energy for the lighting.
'How much will this cost the Taxpayer?'
I certainly welcome GS’s increase in employment, but the 150 plus parked employee’s cars, which wouldn’t move during the entire day, would create an 'Asphalt Jungle', and kill the quiet historic mom and pop atmosphere. As an alternative, the 150 plus cars could be housed in a 2-3 story garage at the fringe of the area. A 'geographic solution' for Geographic Solutions may be to relocate its present employees (now in four different buildings) and future employees into one building somewhere else.

Annexation
Letter To The Editor:
On October 27th, The Pinellas Legislative Delegation passed this bill 7-0 for further legislative consideration. I agree with Senator Latvala that this bill will not pass. Both sponsors of this bill, Mike Fasano and Peter Nehr did not attend this meeting. As a separate piece of legislation, I offer the closing of a loophole that allowed The City of St. Petersberg to buy an 18-acre tract of land in Tierra Verde in 1999 without a vote, because there weren't any residents living on this tract. There must be a vote of the residents because it does impact their solitude, traffic, water, and other services. Enacting such a bill would preempt a municipality from a 'land grab' that belongs to another community, and make that municipality think twice. The citizens' should not be disenfranchised on a matter that is directly a part of their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I am against any type of 'Annexation', but as long as there is a vote by the citizens, we can live without this 'all or nothing annexation' bill by Fasano and Nehr. After all, Nehr's bill did fail twice before-it's 'deja vu, all over again', and a waste of legislative and citizen's time. Close the described 'land tract' loophole.

Fluoridation
I made it a practice to give my children an incentive to have a cavity-free report from the dentist, usually $5.00, plus a special treat. I also taught them to at least rinse their mouth vigorously after breakfast, lunch and dinner, if they didn’t have time to brush on those occasions. It was amazing how well my children complied and had very few cavities. The Hygiene class in school never taught children to brush, or rinse their mouth after every meal. With the unhealthy ½ hour lunch-time imposed, children don’t have time to digest their food, or even rinse their mouth. There is certainly enough fluoride in most of our toothpaste products which topically is alright, but to put such an ‘unknown risk’ into our bloodstream is wrong. Even if those ‘idealistic add fluoride proponents’ don’t realize it, their position is totalitarian in scope, ‘It does not take a village to raise a child! Let’s not usurp the parent’s job for a freer America! Phil Tropea

Hello Commissioners, I want to thank you for your ‘NO’ vote to not bring Fluoridation to Pinellas County. The $205,000 saved may not seem much but it would pay for 41,000 cars going into Tierra Verde and Howard Parks. I am upset over other small tax and rate increases by The Commission which cumulatively is breaking the backs of our taxpaying citizens. Our State Capitals and Washington, DC are rife with money from Lobbyists, tourists, etc. I’m sure there isn’t one single vacancy in the malls and other commercial areas. We should have the Feds and State officials visit Main St., Anywhere, to see the vast number of vacancies to let them realize that we locals are having the worst economic time of our LIFE! I would like to suggest creating a panel of retired CPAs to devote time to look into each and every dollar in every line item of the budget to check for redundancies, overlaps, as was found in 48 instances of our Federal Budget by the GAO. We need a zero-dollar based budget. There is money to be saved! Phil Tropea
