Thinly Veiled...
Another local blogger, who happens to be one of the tentacles of the "Yes on 4" movement, seems to be upset that the veil has been pulled back on her organization's true purposes. She seems to think it was wrong for some "paparazzi" to infiltrate their ranks and record some of the reasons their supporters are for this amendment to the State of Florida's Constitution. Passage of the amendment, which requires 2/3 affirmative votes to become law, would mandate that all changes to local Comprehensive Plans be subject to referenda. The mechanics of this would be ponderous at best and would likely end up derailing any attempts our state has to adjust to the new economic realities that our nation is facing.
That's why people that are against capitalism and for radical population growth control are in favor of this amendment. This "direct democracy" would dismantle Florida's economy. It's no surprise then that we would see our local anarchists supporting this amendment. Think of the severed head at the end of the video as symbolic of Florida's economy if the amendment passes this November.
You can only perpetuate myths for so long. Sooner or later the truth reveals itself. Perhaps that is why Mr. Bergman submitted his resignation from the role of Community Development Director? A professional of any type would have difficulty working in an environment where standards, general accepted practices, laws, ordinances and the Constitution are not respected and habitually violated.
Commissioner Jennings, who appears in the video and talks about the need for population control (Is that what Amendment 4 is about?), was famous for saying that anyone against the labor center is a "thinly veiled" racist. Amendment 4 then is a thinly veiled attempt to destroy the underpinnings of our society.
