To the editor:

Here we go again.

Reading a letter from a recent transplant who is going from an Independent to a Democrat because she does not like the way Florida is governed. What? You didn’t check why the residents of Florida are pleased before moving here?

Newcomers leave their terribly run states to move to Florida and now want to change it to the way their state was ruined and probably why they left.

Som clarifications regarding the letter:

Reproductive care — it’s going in front of the voters in November. If your state is better, you can stay there.

Hamper sexual content books in our grade schools: If anyone wants their kids exposed to filth, online has anything a person could want. We want to keep Florida schools clean.

Up north they go in for supporting everything but the American Flag. Fly any flag you want, but remember, Florida is an American state; we fly the American Flag.

We didn’t have a water quality problem until all of the people from up north starting flooding into Florida, bringing their dogs that poop to get caught in water runoff, and fertilizing lawns, not to mention personal sewage.

Dismantling Social Security: Probably more people on Social Security here than any other state in the nation. Cracking down on Medicare fraud is hardly cutting down benefits. One of my doctors is serving seven years for Medicare fraud and he is just a start of what needs to happen.

Don’t move to Florida and want to change it to what you left up north. Get educated why we have such a wonderful state before moving here, it’s NOT just the weather. Be a solution, not the problem.

BTW, I moved my business here 35 years ago because of taxes and unfriendly to small businesses in my previous state. I did my research before moving. Best move I ever made, I moved to join the residents of Florida, NOT change them.
