LP Court Appeal/Stop Urban Sprawl/Peoples Voice
Donation protected
The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise money for a lawsuit against Orange County, FL. Orange County citizens scraped together their money and sued Orange County for Urban Sprawl in the environmentally sensitive Econ River Basin AND WE WON! The County and the developers filed an appeal to Governor Rick Scott and his cabinet. The Developers hired a high power lobbyist firm, Brian Ballard, and had the JUDGE'S DECISION overturned by Rick Scott and his cabinet.
The people did not quit! We filed suit in the FL Appellant Court. The County is doing everything possible to get the case dismissed! One of the developer's investors even began contacting the people offering to buy us out - 5 of us said "NO WAY!"
Since 2013, we have been fighting Orange County, FL over a mega development that the County approved to be built in Rural East Orange County. The proposed building site is in the Econ River Basin. This area is home to critically protected species & fauna as well as the FL black bear. The area is environmentally sensitive. The Army Corps of Engineers, Sierra Club, 1000 Friends of Florida, expert UCF researchers, Save Orange County, Inc., League of Women Voters, and all state and local politicians representing this area have SPOKEN AGAINST the proposed development.
We NEED MONEY to stay in this political/legal fight! PLEASE donate $2, $5, $10 whatever you can to help us. Little donations add up and we need to tell the county that the people's voices that stand up for community and environment MATTER! We will not quit if you help us stay in the game! PLEASE DONATE!
