Make A GameStop Out Of It

I thought that septic tank thing had been voted down?! Should have been paying more attention I guess. At $150 a pop, and sure to go up if it’s mandantory, it’s going to seriously impact my bottom line. I live alone and had my system inspected a few years ago. I see no reason to have it inspected, and my YARD DUG UP every five years. If it works, leave it alone. If it doesn’t work, then I’m the one who has to bear the responsibility to have it repaired. It won’t impact on anyones elses property so why is this a law. Sounds like Nephetism in it’s purest form.

A few years back we had someone sit on a board that was not from Florida in Escambia County and proposed we have a law saying what we do with our land. We cannot give to our children and grandchildren a small parcel just to build a house but it has to be a certain amount. Why did our county fathers allow this to happen. Now people are afraid to buy a large tract of land unless they are proposing to farm, put a large business on it or something of that sort. We are living like third-world countries where the government is telling us what we can do with our land. There are a lot of people living in the north end of the county who wish they would be annexed into Alabama because they DO NOT HAVE HIGH AD VALOREM TAXES, CAN DEED ANY AMOUNT THEY WANT TO FAMILY OR OTHERS, DO NOT HAVE SEPTIC TANK INSPECTIONS AND MANY OTHER LAWS THAT WE HAVE JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE IN FLORIDA. We do not have enough voters in the North end to elect anyone that would speak out for us and prevent these laws from being “crammed” down our throats. The people from Nine-Mile Road south don’t think about the Northern end of Escambia County when it comes to voting to help us get someone who will stand up for our rights. Let’s look at who we vote in and who will work for the NORTH end and not be bought out whereby we will be SOLD out and cannot do what we want with our hard-earned land and/or homes.

looks to me like,,, if everybody aint rich ,they can can leave,,,, and the ones that are ,, can buy youre estate and resale for profit. then the county can keep mismanaging funds, and spending as if they’re on some personal shopping spree.

People who have septic tanks have enough sense to keep them working properly. We all know what happens when you don’t!! Get that septic tank law off the books! Email and write and call your repersentative! If you sit quietely by and let bad laws pass, then don’t complain about them! Everyone needs to be involved in government…how do you think Washington got into the mess it is in now… No one was paying attention to the things they were passing!

Amen RMD. All we need now is a zombie apocalypse and we would have it all, as far as bad luck goes. But then of course Gov Scott could get a second term.

I’m an adult and quite capable of taking care of my own septic tank! I really don’t need someone to tell me it has a problem! The lawmakers are in bed with the septic companies. If this ever comes to pass, there will be one more empty house in esc. County…I will move solely on principle. I moved HERE from Cali to get away from this kinda crap! Tennessee is looking better every day!

If these idiots wish to continue snoozing in their ivory towers, they better scrap that septic tank extortion racket. or get ready to be voted out on to the street.
