Roads funding via sales tax urged by county official
Sarasota County Transportation Director Charles Goode urged using sales tax revenues to fund road improvements at a Venice Area Chamber meeting. The county budgeted 4.4 million for 1982 road construction, with 3.3 million from a special allocation and 800 thousand for operation and maintenance. Priorities include Everglades Boulevard and Proctor Road, Englewood streets, and Albee Farm Road. The chamber backed county roadway adequacy and independent water supply, approved a property appraiser, new memberships, and boosters.

Friction over charges and tax relief in 1977 FPL deal
The text alleges no franchise fee exists but a 6 percent pass through tax on electricity. It claims the 1977 agreement granted FPL and its county subsidiaries use of county property and reduced Real Estate Taxes. It also critiques appraisal of the Substation Road complex and a 50 acre switching station east of Venice as under evaluated by at least 50 percent. It ends with a call for political change in the next election.
