Hawkins “Hawks”

Sanford Herald Billy Liggett, wrote a nice editorial on the efforts of the Hawkins Avenue Concerned Citizens.  A couple weeks ago, Ruth Gurtis, who has been one of the main ingredients holding this group together referred to the Group as the “Hawkins Hawks”.

This group is exercising the fundamental right to voice their opinion. 

During my campaign for City Council, I constantly referred to the need of returning to a “Citizens based government.” I applaud the group for wanting to protect the integrity of their neighborhood.

I have admired their leadership in not only taking this issue to the City Council, but to the County Commissioners as well.

As an elected official, I hope we have more instances where groups of people unite to represent the interests of those where they reside.

Thank you Hawkins Hawks for your activism and defending your rights of Speech….
