&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h2 class="ydp107f15e7MsoNormal" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Lita Epstein’s Position&lt;br /&gt;
(SDC Member and HOA Board Secretary)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp107f15e7MsoNormal" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;“I strongly disagree with the position that the HOA Board should remain neutral. The HOA Board has a responsibility to its residents to represent both their health and welfare. Clearly if the 30-foot wall is built outside the gates of Solivita, we will see major issues echo back on the residents of Solviita who live along our northern border.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;They will experience:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Increased noise pollution from the 27,000 trucks and cars who will be using the elevated Expressway to bypass Orlando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;All of us will experience increased pollution from these 27,000 cars and trucks. In an aging community with many people experiencing lung and heart health complications, this will only increase the negative health impacts on the residents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Home values will drop with a major highway running by these homes without any barriers planned at the street level because Polk County says it doesn’t build sound barriers or walls.  The only sound barrier that will be built is at the top of the 30 foot wall, which will do nothing to offset the noise pollution that will echo back on Solivita as the road noise hits the 30 foot wall supporting the elevated expressway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;We have a responsibility now to test noise and air pollution factors to know what our current numbers, so we have the scientific proof of the negative impacts of this elevated highway if built.  Builders of highways do have a responsibility to build walls if the noise levels raise after the construction of the roadway, but we have to be able to prove the increase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ydp2b49cffayiv3238530099MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The board must not stay neutral, but instead must protect the residents of Solivita to the best of its ability to impact the plans for the elevated highway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ATTENTION POLK COUNTY REGISTERED DEMOCRATS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Polk Democratic Party is reaching out to all REGISTERED Democrats in Polk County to become a State Committee Person.  Although we hope that eventually the people who become SCPs will want to become members of the Polk County DEC after a time, they do not have to be a DEC member to run for the office.  We will be electing up to 10 SCPs to the DEC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This provides an opportunity for EVERYONE to participate in a Day of Service by donating nonperishable food items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Donations will benefit the Polk County community where 13% of the population experiences food insecurity, relying on SNAP and food pantries to feed themselves and their families. Come drop off your nonperishable food donations and add your name to the donor board! This is a great event to teach children the blessing of giving. And a great event for your church or group to participate in a Day of Service to honor Dr. King’s legacy of equality, justice, and community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Join us on this Day of Service and invite others to participate. “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” –Dr. Martin Luther King&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All registered Democrats who believe public education is an investment in our future;&lt;/strong&gt; in Polk County, in Florida, and in the United States are welcome to join. If you want to know more about what we do and what we can do together, please come to this important meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The mission of the DPECF is to advocate for better public education policies&lt;/strong&gt; by educating voters through data-driven messaging, challenging false narratives, and helping elect pro-public education candidates to local, state and federal offices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The DPECF believes that public schools should be the pillars in communities&lt;/strong&gt; that help families thrive and where children learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become members of our society and economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Protect Public Education- &lt;em&gt;Join Today!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We’ll be making calls to re-enroll more than 1.2 million Democrats who were removed from the Vote-by-Mail rolls. These are some of our most reliable voters—over 95% of them turn out when they have an active mail ballot request. And because re-enrolling is as simple as a phone call or clicking a link, phonebanking is one of the most efficient ways to make a real impact. | &lt;a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ymomkz7ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013bb3TFz-pPz1xbXCSk8XNbkrYV3sabnQl9jHHlsgQ90xUrfDiEkRX-XnCaDYSTz558Weakcq028Y5KvVs4n11j0_wCaITmdp85esdeW3_sKZNU-0cRLf3x8ywpNbzHU5ggx8uZEvLn2XFrRXzUeTdGpS4bEwX3FmEmFDPRYAXYKOveuiiVhIfSIw_gguJU4lfcKuRc83_As=&amp;c=uRToItwj5EJuT0IKC6G4SbvqwwVm5HE3FE96ZWi5_qKi2JmH2R6XRA==&amp;ch=o0PfUEPcM6G-z74wdf74RlKcVeQ671fIvDKx_sROUPSnpXD_WfrMpA==');"  href="https://ymomkz7ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013bb3TFz-pPz1xbXCSk8XNbkrYV3sabnQl9jHHlsgQ90xUrfDiEkRX-XnCaDYSTz558Weakcq028Y5KvVs4n11j0_wCaITmdp85esdeW3_sKZNU-0cRLf3x8ywpNbzHU5ggx8uZEvLn2XFrRXzUeTdGpS4bEwX3FmEmFDPRYAXYKOveuiiVhIfSIw_gguJU4lfcKuRc83_As=&amp;c=uRToItwj5EJuT0IKC6G4SbvqwwVm5HE3FE96ZWi5_qKi2JmH2R6XRA==&amp;ch=o0PfUEPcM6G-z74wdf74RlKcVeQ671fIvDKx_sROUPSnpXD_WfrMpA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Sign up to join us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
