A huge new 2500 home "Far Reach Ranch" residential and commercial development is planned in Tavares, FL and this is the first of several posts on the development proposal and approvals by the City of Tavares, FL. Residents are concerned about many issues, including traffic gridlock, school class capacity, raised taxes for existing Tavares homeowners to subsidize needed infrastructure, etc. Continue reading

After a contentious Leesburg, FL City Commissioner meeting last night (Apr. 14, 2025), four of five commissioners voted against perhaps 300 citizens there to support a resolution to limit residential annexations for 1+ years. Continue reading

The Indiana Governor plus RFK and Dr. Oz announced a new Make Indiana Healthy Again initiative, including fixing Diabetes, food components, etc. Is Indiana outdoing Florida in jumping on the MAHA movements. Every Lake County politician and government administrator needs to watch this, then ask themselves what THEY can do to rollout similar programs in Lake County. https://www.youtube.com/live/_n-zbzVNVUM?si=JzL9XOHT_4r5CWYd Apr 15, 2025 === Continue reading

You have to wish Florida State and County governments implemented aggressive DOGE programs in Florida. Gov. DeSantis has jumped on the bandwagon, but will his program actually work, or just be the basis for bragging about low hanging fruit. Remember, he jumped on the election integrity bandwagon, setup a department and the first appointee mysteriously died after Lake County election activists met with him and informed him of evidence they found in just Lake County. DeSantis brags about low hanging fruit like catching 15 felons who voted, and the current manager is not responsive in my opinion. If you go to Doge.gov or the @DOGE X account, you will see a constant flow of new waste, fraud and abuse spending and almost immediate shut down of the questionable spending items, including contracts, use of Federal Credit Cards, etc. I suggest you send links from those DOGE almost daily posts to your favorite State legislators and local City Councils. Right now, Lake County has an Inspector General within the Clerk of Courts Dept. and they are not effective to this retired operational auditor based upon my opinion. Here is a simple DOGE finding just reported by just one Agency's DOGE task... Continue reading

Well known Republican, former Chair of the Lake County, FL Republican Party, and Real Estate Broker has started a new podcast on YouTube, with the first episode on Jan. 2, 2025. He was also a recent Candidate for Florida House Dist. 26 but lost to dark money spent on an opponent's campaign, who won. As of today, Feb. 21, Levine has uploaded about 8 episodes. If you want to keep up with Lake County and Florida politics, I suggest you subscribe to his channel and watch some of the existing podcasts at youtube.com/@MPL-FL or search YouTube on his name, Michael Levine. = Continue reading

This YouTube video by Mario Nappa is very well done and illustrated showing how a City Council like Leesburg keeps approving expanded housing and commercial without fixing the traffic gridlock first. Watch it to understand how stupid city councils keep approving developments without fixing traffic congestion first. https://youtu.be/6--ZaYWm2JQ?si=wK64uSnEUr01Raor Vance Jochim Continue reading

We all need to start 2025 with some humor, so check the LeesburgNews.com article (linked below) on an altercation between a Lake County, FL Wendy's drive-through customer and a Wendy's employee at the drive-through window. In college, we called this a food fight. One lesson is if you throw drinks at anyone, and they call the police, you could end up getting arrested, having your picture published in the newspaper and having to pay a $6000 bond to get out. Read, and learn...but no one was hurt. https://www.leesburg-news.com/2024/12/31/wendys-employee-allegedly-punches-customer-after-confrontation-at-drive-thru-window/? Vance Jochim Continue reading

This article gives a great, detailed overview of states moving to encourage residents in mobile home parks to create a co-op group to buy out the park owner and create a co-op owned by all the residents. I have written about how good they are, and recommend potential mobile home owners to buy in those parks, not leased land parks. https://dailymontanan.com/2024/11/24/to-save-affordable-housing-states-promote-resident-owned-mobile-home-parks/ Continue reading

Since my first name is Vance, I approve his performance. Walz kept looking like he was ready to cry. I watched the debate on the Rumble channel for Louder with Crowder where they gave a play by play review, and then after the debate, presented a SIX page list of VERIFIED fact checks on what Walz said. Hilarious. Continue reading

Advocates for the FL ballot item Amendment 4 (abortion) got the ballot item certified earlier this year to be on the Nov. ballot. But now Gov.

Laura Loomer, political commentator and former Lake County, FL candidate for Congress published an expose of how Kamala Harris voters are paying social media influencers $150 for each NICE post about Kamala. And, without explaining that, the mainstream media are claiming Kamala has more social media followers than Trump.

Loomer corrects all of that in her Loomer.locals.com article HERE!
