Q ne of the main responsibilities1ocal government has is to:set a balanced <br />budget that funds the services you want and sets aside reserves for <br />emergencies, like hurricane clean-up. When state government passes <br />unfunded mandates or self-serving schemes that reduce the local tax <br />base, counties and towns are faced with reducing the services that directly <br />affect your quality of life -first responders, road maintenance, parks, <br />environmental and water quality projects. <br />Okeechobee doesn't have much <br />in common with Miami or Orlando. <br />The pace of life is different, <br />local needs and challenges are <br />different. Who makes better <br />decisions for the people who live <br />in Okeechobee? 160 people in <br />Tallahassee or locally elected city <br />or county commissioners who live, <br />work and raise their families right <br />next door? <br />f' <br />alma <br />problem? <br />want to <br />city <br />160 <br />CV <br />TEMCd <br />Need <br />address <br />county <br />legislators <br />local <br />council <br />help? <br />issue? <br />your <br />offices? <br />from <br />Rules made with Miami in mind <br />may'do harm to rural communities <br />the state took away local government's ability to regulate vacation rentals. So, if your <br />neighbor has turned their home into a 24-hour rental party house, your city, town or <br />county can't do anything about it. And, the 160 legislators who did that don't have to <br />run into you at the grocery store or neighborhood restaurant to defend their decisions. <br />Tallahassee <br />MakaacIppm <br />Tallahassee <br />Who <br />across <br />commission <br />OT your <br />toopcszaBODtalkaCaligCQ <br />state ®p <br />5 +ho <br />local <br />who <br />members <br />elected <br />available <br />your <br />hometown <br />oh <br />Liy <br />months <br />you, <br />'round? <br />year <br />year <br />accountable <br />,Treasure Coast <br />"The government closest to the people serves the people best."Thomas Jefferson <br />IMIELP take back liome Mule, local control and local) accountability. <br />Visit www.tcrlc.com or www.FloridaleagueOfCities.com/WeLiveLocal <br />to (earn more and for tools to help make your voice heard! <br />WE LINF <br />VE coca./ <br />#HOMERULE 5 <br />
