Clearwater residents sue city over Scientology land deal

A fight over a portion of downtown Clearwater roadway has landed in court. Why it matters: It's the latest escalation in the battle over a block of South Garden Avenue, where the Church of Scientology has already broken ground on an auditorium and plaza named after its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. State of play: Resident group Save the Garden sued the city last week after City Council members voted 3-2 not to take action on a petition aiming to reverse a previous Council decision to give the roadway to the church. The petition's 7,577 verified signatures met the threshold to challenge that decision, according to meeting documents. Yes, but: City Council members, acting on advice from the Florida Attorney General's Office, stood by it instead, WUSF reported . They also declined to put the question to voters as a referendum. Repealing the decision would violate a state law that bars citizen petitions from changing certain land development policies, City Attorney Owen Kohler said, according to WUSF. The church praised the decision, saying in a statement that the attorney general's opinion "confirmed what the church has maintained all along: This petition is unlawful," Fox13 reported . What's next: Save the Garden

Will Florida need a new amendment to counteract Amendment 3? | Letters

Fellow Floridians, we’ve really shot ourselves in the foot this time. The draconian cuts that will be made to the tax revenue our cities and counties depend upon will mean that only the police and fire departments will get funded, and probably not adequately. Say goodbye to funding for the arts, parks and recreation or any services for seniors or children. All of these, and many other programs that enhance our quality of life, will be eliminated. If there is any funding for public libraries, it will be dramatically reduced, leading to branch closures and fewer hours open.
