I fear Brevard County is going to get even worse. Now a law enforcement power grab.
We have a structure of government at the county level that works well enough, I suppose, under maintenance conditions. But crises reveal a lack of leadership, ineffective communication, and a troubling potential for poor governance.
Our county has the most activated Emergency Operations Center in the state of Florida. We activate any time there is a launch. The director of Emergency Operations resigned recently. She had been the director for eight years and was awesome! I honestly could not say enough good things about her. She will be big shoes to fill.
Yesterday, our local paper reported that the county sheriff would like emergency operations to report to his office.
Hell to the fuck no! Wayne Ivey is one of the last people on the planet who should ever be given more power or authority. He's a grandiose, attention-seeking, gun fetish, Trumpist. This scares the daylights out of me.

That cabin in the Shenandoah valley on 27 acres of land is starting to look really enticing about now. I love my home, but if all of my kids were out of high school and college (in state tuition), I think I'd be out of here in a heart beat.

stats for Brevard, then chastised myself because all those numbers are false.
And putting Ivey in charge of anything seems to be a very bad idea. 
How big is that cabin?
