I wish this lady the best in her run for office. She seems very dedicated, especially concerning the gopher tortoises. She got the peoples' choice award for her public comments at the City of Apopka, about the public comment policy they were going to change......( IMO, at least).....maybe even an Oscar, or an Emmy! LOL It's great to see people with a passion for something they care about. I noticed there is a display at the Orange County Library in Apopka showing the gopher tortoises, and facts about them. Check it out. One of the facts about them, shows the gophers have a so-called "built in GPS" in them, and can always find their way back home!!!

If all our elected officials could represent the good of the people and our planet like Kim Buchheit does, we would be in a better place. In all my travels, I have never known a greater person with exceptional abilities. Kim can be a voice that can stand up to special interest groups far beyond the position she is running for. I say, keep your eyes on this gal as she has what it takes to keep politicians accountable.
