From 2006 through 2014, Brian testified numerous times at Nuclear Regulatory Commission meetings in Crystal River, as well as participated with citizens in public demonstrations, in opposition to the Progress Energy/Duke Energy nuclear power plant presence and proposed expansion to nearby Levy County.


HERNANDO COUNTY COMMISSION MEETINGS and LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:

Over the last decade Brian spoke at Hernando County Commission meetings, demonstrated on the streets of Spring Hill, Brooksville and regionally, and wrote letters-to-the-editor in both major newspapers,on a variety of Hernando County issues. He addressed issues from land and water, to the Weeki Wachee Park, county roads, overhead drones and unnecessary and costly county roads. 


COSTS OF IRAQ WAR ON HERNANDO COUNTY TAXPAYERS:

In 2003 and 2004, Brian and nine of his antiwar colleagues appeared before the COUNTY COMMISSION and warned them about the pending costs to Hernando County of the Iraq war.  They lobbied Commissioner Mary Aiken and the Commission to vote on making an opposing-the-war public statement, if for no other reason, than the war's financial burden on Hernando County and its taxpayers. A national war data institute, Nationalpriorities.com, reports that from 2003 to 2013, the cost of the Iraq War to Hernando County residents has totaled $234,849,430 million dollars.  It is projected for 2014 that with the combined wars of Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, Hernando County taxpayers will end up paying $151,000 million dollars alone.

The peace group also argued how the war would also deplete the local FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD, thus, jeopardizing the safety of Hernando County citizens on potential problems of hurricanes, nuclear plant accidents, oil or chemical train spills, forrest fires, civil disorders, etc.


SWIFTMUD,  BROOKSVILLE AIRPORT & CEMEX MINES:

Brian also testified at Swiftmud meetings throughout the decade and at Brooksville Airport meetings recently. He opposed Cemex Mining's expansion plans in 2011and 2014; and the airport's efforts to attract a dangerous drone testing project with the FAA in 2013.


PREVIOUS CANDIDACIES:

Brian also ran for the U.S. Congress and Senate from 2002 thru 2006, as both an independent and Democrat, and was the official presidential candidate for the Socialist Party USA in 2008.   In 2010 he ran for Florida governor in the Democratic primary receiving over 201,000 votes (23%) in losing to Alex Sink.  Ms. Sink lost to Governor Scott in the general election.  In the primary election, in Hernando County alone, Brian received 1,779 primary votes.

Brian has demonstrated time and again that he has shown good vision, been more than right on the issues, and has been vindicated repeatedly, despite the unpopularity of the issues at the time of his public statements and/or demonstrations.

Brian possesses the courage and political will to protect Hernando County's pristine environmental and rural character, lower unnecessary taxes on its citizens and improve the quality of life for the entire county population of 178,000 people.
