I want to thank the citizens of Manatee County for all of their help in taking back our county. This was a tremendous victory for our county and for our Island cities as it couldn’t have happened anywhere else but the ballot box.
Citizens, environmentalists and government officials who were subject to the bully tactics from the likes of KVO had only two choices, kiss the ring or risk becoming a casualty of their attacks and false narratives. I thank all who had the courage to hold their ground and assisted in educating the people and in doing so, asked the people to help fight this battle. We were warriors for the county, for the cities and for the environment.
Well done, Manatee County citizens. We did it!
