“
We moved to North Port because it was affordable. Now we live in a trailer with past-due notices on the door. My husband works construction 60 hours a week. I clean houses. We still can't make it. The county added $876 million in spending & debt. Who pays for that? We do. Our children do. Neunder calls himself small government. This isn't small government. It's a betrayal of working families.”
— Hispanic couple, North Port FL
NORTH PORT DESERVES BETTER THAN JOE NEUNDER. JIM DeNIRO — 30 YEARS PROTECTING THIS COMMUNITY.
