At what cost will Winter Springs City Manager Ronald McLemore go to wield his sword against the rural areas of the Black Hammock and beyond in court.     With his lapdog City Commission fueling the fire, McLemore feels invincible like Napoleon Bonaparte.     Despite citizens speaking out loudly for protecting the rural areas of East Seminole County on November 2^nd, McLemore gives a condescending sneer at the will of the people as he rides off with his first lieutenant lawyer Anthony “Boom Boom” Garganese back into court yet again.

            McLemore’s intention is to trample over the voters’ will towards his goal of more land to rule and destroy.    His ultimate goal is to smite the Seminole County Board of Commissioners at its knees for doing the right thing by putting the referendum before the voters countywide.

            Proclamations stating Winter Springs is an environmental friend of the Black Hammock by false prophets such as City Commissioners Robert Miller, Michael Blake, and former Commissioner Eduardo Martinez (thankfully now deported to Altamonte Springs) are down right hilarious.    Who should believe these guys who all hold the smoking high-density zoning gun?  

            Look at what they and their fellow commissioners have wrought upon the environment in the name of their lord and master Ronald McLemore.    Townhomes and a daffy town center so tightly packed, and bounded together by asphalt and concrete that the earth screams to breathe free.

            Thank goodness the County Commission stepped in to try to put a halt to McLemore’s and the City Commission’s assault on the environment.    When the City applied with St. John’s Water Management District to expand its water service area into rural lands, the County Commission was propelled to place the charter amendment on the ballot.    Expanding the water service area will also give the City its reason to draw out more water from the aquifer to support its planned dense development in Tiny Town and the Black Hammock.

             But, everyone knows the Black Hammock cannot be the fountainhead for McLemore’s new expanding territory because saltwater intrusion would be inevitable.     No, the fountainhead for expansion would be Well #4 in Tuscawilla.     Why else has the City been feverishly drilling test wells trying to find the most water it can?     Even at a cost of over $271,000, the City has come up dry with not one well that will produce the amount of water it is looking for. 

            Aside from the cost, who is to say that all the drilling around did not cause those recent sinkholes in the Georgetowne community nearby.    Don’t count on the City to have the answer to that question, because it doesn’t matter how many houses in Tuscawilla get sucked up before the City finds the water it needs to send through that huge water main heading towards the Black Hammock.

            While McLemore and the City Commission taunt their political foes in court on November 16^th, many in and out of Winter Springs hope McLemore will finally meet his Waterloo.    The man’s delusion of grandeur and power will not allow him to put down his sword of destruction.     How can one man churn up so much ill will among citizens and still be held in high esteem by the City Commission?

            It is clear that by patronizing McLemore’s every whim that the Winter Springs City Commission holds its citizens in contempt by spending their hard earned money to fight the referendum in court after the fact.     Let’s hope the citizens’ “Duke of Wellington” arrives soon to overrule Winter Springs’ Napoleon McLemore’s expansion plans, force his abdication, and exile him to some faraway island.     While he’s at it, he can take his lapdog City Commission with him.
