Holly Davis never saw a tax she didn't like

HOLLY DAVIS
By John Labriola -

The Citrus County Commission last week rejected a universal trash pickup plan that would have raised everybody's trash bill, but not everyone on the commission was pleased with the decision.

The defeated proposal would have caused many residents to pay over $100 a year more for trash pickup than they are paying under the current system, which allows a variety of garbage contractors to operate in the county.

Liberal Commissioner Holly Davis wanted to keep the deeply unpopular universal garbage collection plan alive but joined the rest of her colleagues in voting to kill it only after she realized it was going down to defeat.

"I'm not happy about this, but yes," Davis said during the roll call. A "Yes" vote was for rejecting universal trash collection. (See video.)

It was the second time in the past month that Davis had argued in favor of a tax increase that ultimately went down in flames. At a Nov. 9 commission workshop to discuss funding road repairs, Davis said she supported placing a referendum on the ballot for an extra 1 cent sales surtax per gallon despite soaring gas prices under Biden, but the idea was rejected by her colleagues. 

During this year's budget process, Davis also argued for a higher property tax rate than what the commission adopted.

But in September, Davis got her way when she was joined by three other commissioners in voting to create a new stormwater assessment of $58 for residents with homes of between 1,200 and 3,100 square feet and $100 for homes between 3,101 and 6,000 square feet. 

So by unanimous opinion of the judges, the "Tax and Spend" award for 2021 goes to Commissioner Holly Davis.

    When is she up for reelection? Until the "elected" people realize that the people's trust is not to be toyed with and that the position entrusted to them is not to be taken for granted and is not an open check book, we need people that will stand guard over them, reporting back to the people, such as the publication and others, the truth and keeping us informed.
    It is time for the citizens of this county to get involved and stand up to this type of tax and spend agenda.
    No, Holly Davis, you are wrong in your ideas and in your agenda. Looking for a challenger for you as we speak. Don't get too comfy, you should expect to be moved out at the next election.

    A concerned Citizen who does not appreciate the ideas of this woman.

On our Jan. 6 political prisoners

Image
By Laura Loomer - As our nation quickly approaches one full year of the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration, Americans watched this last week as the communist fake news media continued to glorify the protests that took place on January 6th, 2021 as an “assault on democracy.”   Over the past year, more than 700 Americans in 45 states have been charged in what has been described by the Biden Regime as the biggest criminal investigation in history. Thousands of Americans who showed up to Washington, DC, on January 6th to protest the fraudulent 2020 elections have been targeted by the FBI, harassed by the weaponized Department of Justice, and many of the nearly 700 who were arrested are being held in jails across the country in appalling conditions. Here in America, the year is now 2022, and while we are not exactly a third world country…yet, we can honestly say that much like what happens in actual third world nations and failed states, the American government is politica...

Hernando man gets visit from sheriff's office after email to Holly Davis

Image
By John Labriola -  A 66-year-old Hernando man got a Thanksgiving-eve knock on his door from the sheriff's office after sending Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis an email challenging her on her LGBT activism in strong terms. On Nov. 23, B. James Colantropo emailed Davis in response to her shocking remarks at the last county commission meeting, in which she appeared to advocate for homosexual grooming of children in the county libraries .  "Rest assured that the good people of this county will not stand by and let you get away with your leftist agenda," Colantropo wrote. He then added: "Count your days because they are numbered." The next morning, two sheriff's detectives showed up at Colantropo's door. "They wanted to know what my intentions were, as they said my email could be construed as threatening," said Colantropo, who explained to them that his words were meant politically, not as a physical threat.  "Basically they understood ...

Commissioner Holly Davis wants Citrus County to promote homosexuality to children

Image
By John Labriola -  Citrus County Commissioner Holly Davis raised eyebrows at the Nov. 9 commission meeting when she declared that she wants our county libraries to be a place where children can access books promoting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle so they can feel at "peace" with becoming practicing homosexuals and/or pursuing transgenderism. (See video above.) Davis, a committed leftist, justified her heinous views by citing long-debunked claims that children are "born" homosexual. This propaganda myth pushed by the LGBT political movement has been thoroughly discredited by multiple scientific studies over the last 25 years.   What is true is that people engaged in LGBT lifestyles have much higher suicide rates than the general population. The logical conclusion to draw from this statistic is that discouraging children and adults from going down the path of homosexuality and transgenderism (or at least not encouraging them to do so) would SAVE LIVES .
