at 1:43:44Next item, we advocate for state and federal funding that will ensure that local tax dollars are leveraged on state and federal priorities
at 2:21:44I appreciate what Commissioner Campy is saying, and I wish everybody, you know, kept their word on things, but this is a contract, and I think that it would be foolish for us to say, well, let's just not put anything in there.
at 1:18:10It's just to expand, excuse me, as you have said here, for the business to, you know, conduct, I think, their particular entity in a more efficient manner, and, of course, with their employees, too, with the new office building.
at 1:18:40He went to the same spot a couple of days, and you have deer down there, but we have sharks, sea rays, we have fresh fish, we have bobcats and coyotes, and we also have some rabbits and raccoons in Jensen Beach.
at 2:03:46Yeah, I think that the voters spoke, and I think that the committee has done a wonderful job about bringing forth properties that are going to be invaluable and precious as time goes forward.

at 44:35Yes, um, I was looking at the explanation here, and this refers to, uh, services by health care providers in the event that there is no contract with Martin County.
at 2:13:47The other thing is I did look at the reference material, and I see that the applicant is offering additional preserve area with the amended change to construct the property, the home, on area that previously was not permissible.
at 2:14:48The people of Martin County are very upset, deeply upset, as evidenced in this campaign, this election that just passed, about what they feel is the corruption, allowing amendment after amendment to take place with no questioning.
