City Safety Harbor issued the following announcement on Feb 22.
Have you heard of Home Rule? Ever wonder what it is or why it matters? Simply put, it’s local voices making local choices. Self-government. Citizen-centered solutions. The flexibility to address unique local needs with local solutions.
Since 1968, Floridians have recognized the need for cities to have Home Rule powers. It is included in our state's Constitution (Article VIII, Section 2(b)) and was implemented by the Legislature in 1973. Home Rule is a cherished concept, supported by an overwhelming majority of Florida citizens. It is the foundation for local governments as they create fair, effective and responsive policies for their communities.
The legislative session is currently in session now through the end of March.
