Trojan Horse Should Be Cut Off At The Head

Our public servants are in the process of granting approval to a development project that is not in the best interest of Monroe County residents. It is a government give away to developers under the guise of a senior citizen housing project that is intended to be built in Key Largo.

It will not help our seniors, as in previous built projects similar to this one, it will serve as a magnet to Miamians, along with any other outsiders who have learned how to tweak the system.

Monroe County government officials and staffers have not put into place safeguards that will protect the taxpayers from the hostile take-over’s that will come from non-residents, if this development is allowed to proceed.

I don’t know how in the world individual’s in a position of responsibility, could come up with such a destructive use of Monroe County’s ROGO units. Utilizing these precious commodities for the benefit of those not living in the Florida Keys.

At present, the ‘LIHTC’ method of funding that is being used will open up the flood gates to all Miami, as well as everywhere else, as outsiders will rush in again and take away the alleged intent of this building project. They will bring their trash, noise, traffic congestion and pollution, with little or no interest in the welfare of the Florida Keys. They will place their increased demands on our already over stressed infrastructure.

A corrupted idea at the top, will once again continue the destruction of our fragile aquatic ecosystem. This ‘Trojan Horse’ must be cut off at the head.

As it stands now, I am dead set against any development of any kind at this proposed site.

Upon my return home, I will explore any and all legal action that can be taken to terminate the malignancy of this diseased folly, as it will further sicken our dying environment and rob us of our constitutional rights, as they are adjudicated in the state and federal constitutions.

Respectfully,

John Donnelly
