NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />9.B.2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - BRIAN HEADY - LOCAL SUPPORT <br />FOR A UNITED AMERICA <br />(CLERK'S NOTE: SEE ALSO ITEM 13.A.1 FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.) <br />Brian Heady, Vero Beach, noted that starting a car rolling is much easier and safer than <br />trying to stop it once it has started rolling. He agreed that transferring the State Public Library <br />materials to Nova University was a bad idea. He reminded the Board that, at the last meeting, he <br />had asked them for some action to stop the ball rolling as far as budget cuts for military veterans. <br />He felt that whether or not you are for the war, you should certainly support the war's veterans. <br />He believed it would be an outrage to cut benefits for existing veterans, especially in light of the fact <br />that a message would be sent to the military, who will be tomorrow's veterans, that the rug could <br />be pulled from beneath them at some point in the future. He asked the Board to adopt a resolution <br />to be sent to the congressional leaders telling them that cutting benefits for veterans is not an <br />acceptable way of finding financing for any other project. <br />Chairman Macht stated that, based on Mr. Heady's remarks of last week, staff did research <br />the matter and found that the action on all cuts has been shelved. He also mentioned that <br />Representative Dave Weldon took an active position in scrubbing those cuts. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />9.C. PUBLIC NOTICE ITEMS <br />9.C.1.
