Before you vote, please contact Kris Cruzada and ask him to justify his votes on the policy issues below. I asked and he didn’t answer. Justin Vermuth has disagreed with many of his opponent’s positions and would have prioritized creating greater value for Winter Park residents.
ONE: Why did you vote to expand and extend the CRA that only covers about 10% of our population, when the alternative was to add $84,000,000 to the general fund over ten years that could be spent for improvements directly benefiting all Winter Park residents and reduce the pressure for a property tax increase?
TWO: Why did you vote to spend over $5,250,000 to build a parking lot with a small park on Orange Ave, when you could have spent money improving Mead Gardens (1200 feet away), and sold the Orange Ave land for as much as $15,000,000 to pay to improve all our parks?
THREE: Why did you vote to spend $5,500,000 for 1.3 acres at the corner of Denning and Fairbanks and spend $750,000 to add a Denning turn lane onto Fairbanks, when the beneficiary of this spending is FDOT and not Winter Park residents?
FOUR: Why did you vote to lease the old library building for 20 years at 65% below market rate when it could have been sold for $8,000,000 or more and used for residential condominiums generating about $140,000 a year in new property taxes?
FIVE: Will you vote to support Commissioner Marty Sullivan's plan to raise our tax rate and spend $268,000,000 for undefined projects (see page 2 here)? |
