@ManateeGov

.@ManateeGov commissioners unanimously approve plan to turn Jones Potato Farm in northern Manatee County into a new housing development with 1,833 homes and 300,000-square feet of nonresidential space on 635 acres.

@NealCommunities

The Jones Farm project, which @NealCommunities plans to develop, will be located in an area bounded by Buckeye Road on the south & the Hillsborough County line to the north. The Fort Hamer Road extension would run north and south through the property.

Only opposition at meeting Thursday were from a handful of residences from the nearby Sundance development in Hillsborough County. Jones Farm would be about 420 feet from Sundance.

@pfizer

Best thing I did this week? I got my #COVID19 booster vaccine. Thank you, @pfizer @BioNTech_Group @Walgreens This one left me with the strongest side effects - arm & back pain, fatigue, slight sore throat- but 48hrs later I was all good. #VaxUp #VaxUpManatee #VaxUpFlorida

Why did I get the booster? To be as well protected as possible from the #coronavirus & to protect others, especially my wife, a teacher at a Tampa school where not all teachers are vaccinated (She got a booster, too)

I wasn’t mandated to get the vaccine but I would have been OK if I had been. New evidence shows people get their shots if the alternative means they lose their jobs. That’s not really a mandate — you still have the “freedom” to make your own choice. But it’s all good.

@ManateeSheriff

A Bradenton kindergarten teacher abused some of her students, investigations found But not only was she not charged with a crime by @ManateeSheriff, @ManateeSchools let her keep teaching at another school. Later, she was allowed to retire. 1/ bradenton.com/news/local/edu…

@ManateeSchools

A panel made up of 3 @ManateeSchools bureaucrats reviewed the investigation & instead of recommending she be fired, they called for her to be suspended for 2 days & to be transferred to another school. @SuptCSaunders accepted the recommendation. Why? She wouldn't tell us. 2/

@JDeleon1012

Reporters @JDeleon1012 & @GSabella did get to talk to the school district's attorney, who declined to directly answer a good question: Is a finding of abuse "good cause" to fire a teacher? Instead, he pinned the decision back on the 3 bureaucrats. 3/
