This Florida Town Is So Cheap, You Can Live On Nothing But Social Security

There’s a town in Florida where your Social Security check doesn’t just cover the basics, it actually covers everything, and that town is Trenton. Tucked into Gilchrist County in North Central Florida, this quiet little place is doing something that most of the state has completely forgotten how to do, and that’s staying genuinely, wonderfully affordable.

Dec. 1 mediation set for legal challenge against WEC

A Dec. 1 mediation session is the next step for two legal challenges that have been mounted against the World Equestrian Center's planned sports/entertainment complex. Charlotte Weber filed the challenges in state court. She has standing because her 4,300-acre horse farm is south of State Road 40 near the massive complex that WEC plans to build on the southwest edge of its campus. WEC is north of SR 40 and west of Northwest 80th Avenue. Weber also filed a third complaint with the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings. All of the complaints seek to upend the Marion County Commission regulatory approvals , granted earlier this year, that cleared the way for WEC's plan. If mediation in the two state actions doesn't work, those cases will proceed to separate pretrial conferences and eventually trials next year, according to filings registered in the court clerk's online docketing system. The state administrative complaint remains in progress. In March, the county commission approved changes to the comprehensive plan, zoning map and WEC development agreement that were needed for WEC to build multiple playing fields for baseball, softball and other sports; a soccer field; and an event arena that can accommodate concerts and indoor sports,

OPINION: Marion County Fire Rescue doesn’t have a program problem — it has a trust problem

Marion County Fire Rescue has lost 528 employees in five years, union officials told county negotiators in February. That is roughly the size of the whole department. The county spent millions training young recruits, only to watch many of them leave within two years for agencies that pay more. Money explains part of it. It doesn’t explain why experienced, respected firefighters left too, or why others retired the first day they could, even with financial incentives to stay and a department that badly needed them. To understand that, you have to look at leadership.
