seminole county: City of Apopka Proposes a Tax Hike - 07/24/09 08:08 AM
The City of Apopka is raising the millage rate, but because of governmentese it is called a rate rollback. The reason they can do this is the municipality can raise the rate so that they can continue receiving the same amount of funds as in the previous year. The current rate is 3.5168 mils and the proposed rate is 4.1115, an almost 17% increase.
According to a city official that I spoke with he stated that we should not pay more since property values have gone down in the past year. This may be so in some instances, but not … (2 comments)

seminole county: Water, Water, Everywhere..... - 10/29/08 12:29 PM
As you can probably determine, this basically used to be dry land, or at least drier. Tropical Storm Faye's pattern of continually dropping enormous amounts of rain on the area, still shows signs of its powerful wrath. I had wanted to take these pics when I took the previous ones, but at that time was on the wrong side of SR 417.

In the past couple of posts, we’ve discussed Creating a Disaster Supply Kit and having a Pet Plan. While these are necessary to have, they really won’t mean anything if you do not have a Disaster Plan in place. This is just one more item to help all remain calm during this time.

seminole county: Procrastination – Do You Handle It or Does It Handle You? - 02/11/08 01:40 PM
By definition procrastination is the act of deferring tasks to a later time. According to Wikipedia, "The psychological causes of procrastination vary greatly, but generally surround issues of anxiety, low sense of self-worth, and a self-defeating mentality." As true as this is, it is very disconcerting when you note that some forms of procrastination are self-destructive.
We all procrastinate in one way or another, even if you didn't think that you did. Accordingly, there are both good and bad procrastination skills. As to the good ones, someone may delay doing a task to do something of more importance. In other words … (47 comments)
