Most other Florida counties have one. Lake used to have one in Tavares, then moved it to Lake Sumter's Clermont campus, then defunded it, so there isn't even a LAW BOOK library in Lake County libraries. It should be re-established and funded including an online FREE Lexis-Nexis or Westlaw type online research terminal in Tavares near the main court house. Here is the master list of all the other counties or cities that have public law libraries and Lake should have one. (Note: Sumter is also missing from the list). https://help.flcourts.org/Other-Resources/Law-Libraries A longer version of this post and any updates is HERE. Continue reading

Thanks to Linda Robinson for posting this on Facebook: Nov. 5, 2020 Complete message FROM A FRIEND: This is straight from the Trump Campaign! Please share with all your contacts. Thanks First and foremost, we are confident the President will win states that have not yet been decided. Democrats are pushing to count late ballots because they are worried about our margins. If we count all legal ballots, President Trump wins. Our legal team is fighting to ensure that all legal ballots – and only legal ballots – are counted. Next, here is the state of play – •Pathway to victory in Pennsylvania: ◦There are more than a million ballots left to be counted, including roughly 300,000 in Philadelphia. ◦Using extremely conservative estimates, even if President Trump receives just 5% of ballots in Philadelphia and 30% of other remaining ballots, the President still wins Pennsylvania by 40,000 votes. ◦We are confident in winning because many of these absentee ballots are from conservative counties – ▪There are 54,000 ballots left to be counted in Cumberland County. ▪There are 40,000 ballots left to be counted in Westmoreland County – a county where President Trump won 69% of the vote yesterday. ▪There are...

The Lake County, FL Board is having the final State required meeting to approve millage rates and budgets which will result in higher property taxes due to higher valuations. We provide the meeting details and discuss the issue. Continue reading

AAAGH!! Mascotte, FL City Council members, in Lake County, voted for the full millage rate rollback for property taxes. I was going to give them kudos for doing so. Then I read the details in their budget introduction. The property appraiser VALUATIONS leaped by 25%, thus the rollback was minuscule vs the TAX INCREASE that will be faced by Mascotte residents due to the very high valuations. So, they should have reduced their millage MORE than the rollback rate like Minneola did. Why aren't more Lake County taxpayers getting angry at all the local governments like cities and the County and School Board raking in the extra dollars due to high valuations, and some giving out 3% raises and not setting at least a rollback rate in this Pandemic economy? All the subsidies end by December, and then evictions and foreclosures will show just how out of touch the elected officials are. Taxpaying voters need to throw out incumbents if they voted to support anything other than rollback rates. Vance Jochim FiscalRangers.com Continue reading
