This letter from a local resident of Hernando County appeared in the Tampa Bay Times on December 12th. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" class="alignleft" height="320" src="http://neighborsagainstmining.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/sitting.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 1.571em 1.571em 0px; padding: 0px;" width="239" />To the voters and residents of Hernando County: How much longer are you willing to be second-class citizens and put up with four county commissioners who continually thumb their noses at you? What does it take to show you that these same commissioners will always vote with the power brokers rather than the people?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
With a standing-room-only crowd of citizens, most of whom opposed the mining operations being considered just off State Road 50, the commissioners voted to approve the request from a group of the county’s power brokers and business community. Not only did they ignore those residents who took the time to attend, they thumbed their noses at over a thousand others who signed a petition opposing these mining operations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
Even the planning and zoning board voted to deny this mining request. I’m sure the commissioners will tell you that they didn’t approve the mining operations, but merely voted to send the request on to the state for consideration. Ha! With the governor’s miserable record of dismantling everything and anything that resembles environmental protection issues, what do you think will happen?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
It will be approved and returned to the commission for another vote. Care to venture a guess or make a bet on how they’ll vote?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
And if this isn’t enough evidence to convince you that they’ll always vote with the power brokers and business community, just recall another recent issue. They would rather increase the sales tax on every person living in the county or visiting the area than tax the people who create the need for the improvements. And despite an overwhelming vote that defeated this initiative, they still have not acted on impact fees.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
These are not Republican or Democrat issues. These are issues affecting our quality of life and our pocketbooks! When it comes time to vote again, forget about party and think about democracy, where elected officials do the bidding of those who elected them, not just the powerful few who finance their campaigns.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">

<div class="p3">
Hernando County, Florida resident Brian Moore ran as Independent candidate for Mayor of Washington, DC, in the 1986 and 1994 elections, both times against the infamous former "Mayor for Life," Democrat Marion S. Barry, who died Monday in the nation's capital, at the age of 78. Moore has "ambivalent memories."</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<b>Spring Hill, Florida, Wednesday, November 26, 2014 </b><span class="s1">[Greater Tampa Bay Metro Area, Florida]:</span></div>
<div class="p7">
Brian Moore, a local civic activist in Hernando County, and a recent candidate for county commissioner in the 2014 elections, expressed sorrow and wrote condolences to the Barry family and social media blogs in Washington, DC, upon hearing the news Monday on the death of former Washington, DC Mayor, Marion S. Barry.</div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Moore expressed "profound sadness" on hearing the news of Marion Barry's passing due to heart failure in a DC hospital. Moore also wrote in the <a href="http://portside.org/"><span class="s2">Portside.org</span></a> blog for the Greater, Greater Washington, that Barry "was a benevolent rogue, a rascal and Robin Hood, in his own way."</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Moore, now 71, was a civic activist in the SouthWest quadrant section of Washington, DC, from 1978 to 2000, before moving to Hernando County, Florida in early 2000. Moore was also a former outspoken critic and Independent mayoral opponent of Marion Barry in the 1986 and 1994 DC mayoral elections. </div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Upon Moore's arrival in Washington, DC in 1978, as a health care Marketing Director for the George Washington University Health Plan, he immediately volunteered for Marion Barry's first race for mayor that same spring. Barry won the first of four separate four-year mayoral terms, from 1979 through 1999. Moore was rewarded for his initial campaign efforts with a boat ride down the Potomac River in a campaign celebration with Marion Barry and his young attractive wife, Effi Barry, who gave Moore a kiss on the cheek out of appreciation.</div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Moore quickly became disillusioned with Mayor Barry's big money dependence and subsequent rewarding of big city contracts; plus, obvious actions of nepotism, cronyism, and managerial incompetence in city government services, to name a few. "Barry ruled the city with an iron fist underneath the cover of his calmness," wrote Moore. "No one who had any vested interest, including the newspapers, dared challenge or criticize him (Barry)," Moore added. "Barry had enormous power in the city, and the city seemed full of silent fear of this tyrant," Moore lamented. </div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
The then 38 year-old civic activist became a strong, outspoken and consistent critic of the Barry Administration, and within a year or two Moore supported two other Democratic mayoral candidates running against Mayor Barry's re-election effort in 1982. In 1984, Moore declared his own independent candidacy for city council out of frustration with a "rubber stamp council" that approved almost everything the mayor wanted. Moore lost despite his almost 20,000 votes for city council in a predominantly black and one-party (Democratic) town.</div>
<div class="p7">
</div>
<div class="p7">
Barry's four mayoral successes was interrupted by an imprisonment stint after being caught in an FBI sting in a Washington, DC hotel room in 1990 smoking crack cocaine with a young long-time female friend, Racheeda Moore. "That bitch set me up," was the infamous phrase that Barry repeated over and over again shown on the video in the government sting.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Moore wrote on the Portside blog how he initially "liked" Mayor Barry's liberal policies and respected his ability "to reach the poor and outcaste," despite Barry's emerging corruption and unethical ways. "It was the world that only Marion Barry knew," Moore added. The civic activist said that he and Barry "got along" on the campaign trails, and "respected each other," despite Moore's criticisms of the mayor and the choices Barry made. Moore wistfully acknowledged that Marion Barry "never took his criticisms personally." </div>
<div class="p8">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7">
Moore also wrote that "In a way his death is a sad day." Moore said that "Marion Barry was a major part of my life for many years, and now he is gone." "I am left with ambivalent memories, despite being proud of what I did," said Moore. I feel proud of having challenged Mayor Barry's "rein of terror," Moore concluded, especially when the <span class="s3">Washington Post</span> "remained silent for so long" and even endorsed Marion Barry for second and third DC mayoral terms "in light of all that they knew."</div>
<div class="p7">
</div>
<br />
<div class="p7">
Finally, in 1994, the establishment turned on Barry over his drug use and short imprisonment. But Marion Barry won the mayoral post in Washington, DC, again, for the fourth time, against all political wisdom, as the man of the people! </div>

The November referendum proposing a 1 cent sales tax for Hernando County, over a 10-year period, costing $173 million, under the joint collaboration of a 1⁄2 cent portion each, by the county commission and the county school board, is nothing but a “bait and switch” tactic.</div>

Brian was the lone commission candidate to have opposed the proposed mining expansion. Many other citizens spoke against the rezoning proposal, too.
