On Wednesday, Nathaniel P. Reed, former Assistant Secretary of the Interior in the Nixon and Ford administrations and Florida’s most eloquent conservationist, jumped off the fence and into the fray: He supports Amendment 4, the Hometown Democracy amendment.
Sally says loosening controls on the county’s future growth could make a mockery of the Stuart-Martin Chamber of Commerce’s “Enjoy our good nature” slogan.

Amendment 4 will keep Martin County unique.Vote yes on 4. Now if we can just get term limits passed we’d have the whole enchilada.

Right on Sally,
Over development has trashed Florida’s economy, ruined our quality of life, polluted our environment and driven up our taxes.
Yet NOW the Development Lobby is spending over $10 million to try and convince us that MORE DEVELOPMENT is the solution, and we should vote no on Amendment 4.
YEA, Right!
Voting YES on Amendment 4 gives us ALL a voice in our destiny. Why wouldn’t anyone want to have voice in their destiny rather than letting developers decide it for us?
