@beyondflorida: Despite protests from citizens, the Bunnell, FL Planning and Zoning Commission greenlighted a new landfill project. Bunnell Planning and Zoning Commission Board member L. Lafferty recused herself from voting because she is the primary landowner in this case. This is at least the second time Ms. Lafferty has recused herself from voting - in 2025 an 1800 acre agricultural tract, also partially owned by Lafferty, was rezoned to Heavy Industrial also amidst protest. Let me be clear: I am not accusing Ms. Lafferty of any wrongdoing. I simply believe that a large landowner who is actively selling and rezoning their land should not be on the local Planning and Zoning Board - whether she recuses herself from voting or not. I urge anyone in Bunnell angry about this to reach out to the planning commission at large, or the city commission, rather than to target any individuals. This is Beyond Florida, we don't make threats we take action. Reports and photos from the Palm Coast Observer were used in my research, thank you. #zoning #florida #landfill #bunnellflorida

Running for an office has gotten to be so expensive that mainly only the rich can run for office. And they run to protect their interests and bank account and not the concerns of the community.

You gotta cover Santa Rosa county’s exec director - Julie White- approving an “events venue “ for 15 Million on a marine wildlife conservation area….. who also owns a wedding business.

You keep explaining why realtors, developers and/or their rich friends get on commissions to protect their profits. And we the people can't seem to understand until the damage has been done. Their rule is to 'keep em dumb' so that we can push our own agenda and get rich.

Amen!!! I live within 3 miles of the new landfill!!! It’s a quiet country farm filled area where we all use well systems!!! Food is grown very close to the proposed area and we were literally told about this the day of the meeting. It was all very hush-hush secret and very speedy.!!
