Venice weighs 1983 choice on federal funds for plant
Venice faces a budget squeeze after losing 1.8 million in EPA grant money for wastewater plant upgrades and planning funds. City officials must decide by late January whether to press for 1983 federal funding or proceed with bidding and construction tied to a Sarasota County mandate and a DEA consent order.

Taxpayers League urges user pay plan for ambulance service
The Venice Taxpayers League proposes switching the South County Ambulance District from ad valorem taxes to user fees. Chauncy Howard cites district data showing actual trip costs around 234 dollars in 1980, 224 in 1981, and 219 in 1982, while basic fees remained 35 to 65 dollars. It argues services go to tourists and nonresidents, urging the county to convert the district to an enterprise operation funded by realistic user charges.
