We keep being told this will be the most important election of our lifetime.  Does that include local elections that seem to be flying under the radar?


The campaign slogans are the same.  It's just a different year.  Lower taxes. Create jobs. More freedom.


Is anyone paying attention?   Has our sense of civic pride been demoralized by idle rhetoric of candidates?


Well, Commissioner James Adkins says he wants one more shot at the job.  He assures us that this time he'll get the job done right.  It seems his latest priority is jump-starting the economy.  We just need to give him four more years.


Considering his stance on local economy, then why would Adkins invite constituents to his fundraiser in another county - Pasco County?


An afternoon of fun, food and music is the headliner for Adkins fundraiser.  The invited guests will have to drive south on U.S. 19 for the event.  It's at the Sun West Harbor Towne Center in Hudson.


What happened to  his promise of jump-starting the economy in Hernando County?
