Bob Healy Jr., a businessman who runs a funeral home in Buenaventura Lakes, said he believes he “can make a difference” in county government putting his small business experience to use. He also said economic development in the county has to focus on bringing in more small businesses and offering incentives to accomplish that.

The county’s high impact fees and fire assessment fees, the candidate said, are making it hard to start and keep small businesses going.

He also said he believes county property tax revenue will “get worse before it gets better” and that the county has to pursue consolidation of services with other government bodies to lower costs, but must do so without job losses.

Healy said the county has

approved enough residential development to accommodate people moving here long into the future and that the proposed Northeast District Conceptual Master Plan, which covers the area south of Lake Nona, if approved as it is would destroy important natural areas.

“We shouldn’t jump on the first offer that comes along,” he said in reference to the plan, which involves a 17,150-acre mixed-use development.

He also said he supports pursuing amateur sports as a tourist tax producer.

“It is a good fit for what we do,” he said.

Today was a wonderful day.  I was blessed to be the God Father for my new niece Madeline Hoel.   It was a beautiful ceremony at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Miami.   The priest spoke about the heart, love and the importance of family.  He said that the heart was only 1 inch from the umbilical cord and that the heart was at the center and that everything revolves around it.   He asked us to consider the idea that the heart, with Love,  gives balance to life .

Today I felt so much love from my family and wondered how people survived without it.   I hope one day to share with my Goddaughter how wonderful it was to be there with her and all of our family.

The family baptism dress.  This was the 24th baby in the family baptized starting with my mom.

Today was a wonderful day. The boys had two Christmas’s today, one at my sister’s house in Lakes by the Bay and the second at my mom’s house in Cutler Ridge.

It was the 1st time in 21 years that I spent Christmas at home with my family in Miami.  A special thanks to my mom and sister for making everything so wonderful for the boys and I.   My entire family has been great and I truly love each and every one of them.

This afternoon everyone gathered in Homestead at my aunt Roberta’s house for Christmas dinner.

And of course the star of the day, Madeline.  It is her 1st Christmas.
