I wish the city council members would speak boldly during their time in office not just at the end of their tenure. I am all for having a financial cushion but agree with using tried and true recommendations for the surplus fund. I love downtown Winter Garden because it is clean, welcoming, and family friendly. I would be delighted for downtown Apopka to be that for our residents. Our parks (Kit Nelson and the soccer fields) should be places that you are excited to go and proud to bring friends to visit. This is not currently true. The budget process will have to change - including room for visions of a brighter, cleaner, safer Apopka. Perhaps include some landscaping in the medians, edging the grass in public areas, taking down dead trees in city owned property. Make the city look like you would want your home to look - loved. No one is for raising taxes, unless we have a common plan that cannot be accomplished with our current funds.
