Manatee County Administration Building - Bradenton, Florida

Always H.

I called since 8:30 a.m. I’ve been waiting on the phone for 4 hours. How is it possible that the county has SO MANY people waiting in queue when you literally just opened?! Even I can reach an IRS representative sooner than this place.

These money hungry slobs are more worried about putting in homes to get more money into their pocket then a historic racetrack that a person put their hard earned money into to build back up, yet they get mad about street racing and side shows. Wouldn't happen as much if these tracks didn't get shut down. Just because you have a paper that says you graduated from a college doesn't mean you're smart. We all needa get these old caps outve these offices

Horrible....talking ton them and trying to get anything accomplished after giving them money is like dealing with a room full of monkeys.... DON'T PULL A PERMIT if you don't have too, they'll let you down every step of the way. All you're doing is paying for a headache...

BCC has special LDC meeting to consider changes in Bldg height, affordable housing and cluster development. Two years ago they approved Carlos Beruff’s development Aqua by the Bay after he removed bldg causing commissioners problems because of its height. In December, 2018, a local judge found in favor of the developer against environmental groups with concerns about potential LDC and planning development violations. Judge Smith stated the public does not have the same “due process” as the parties involved. Any question of who runs the legislative, executive and judicial branches in Manatee County, FL?

Manatee County Commissioners (9th floor of County Administration Building):
Incapable and unwilling to address the embezzlement of the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund (ISTF) by the Sheriff’s office with the collaboration of the county’s finance department. In addition, commissioners have failed to take any action against the Sheriff’s office for the harassment, assault and molestation of citizens by deputies with dazzler weapons, lasers, active denial systems and long range acoustic devices.
Furthermore, these same commissioners allow their state senator and representatives to undercut their initiatives. Particularly wrt developers and natural resources.
