Margie Patchett campaign slogan is “Let’s Take our County Back”. When asked “from whom” she answered “ from special interest groups, lobbyists and putting it back in the hands of the people!”

I have no idea what special interest groups and lobbyists Margie was talking about but it is a fact that our current county council was elected by the people.

But, looking at her campaign team and her primary source of funding, it is quite evident that Margie’s Campaign is heavily supported and funded by what is probably the most aggressive group of lobbyists in Volusia County – realtors and land developers.

Not that there is anything wrong with this, but let’s not be hypocritical about it!
