ANOTHER NEW VOICE IN THE LOCAL BLOGOSPHERE

More and more people, from working Joes to presidential candidates, have realized that blogging is a way of having your voice and opinions communicated unedited. There are a growing number of elected officials that are coming aboard, and we can now count Polk County School Board member Tim Harris among their ranks.

Mr. Harris is serving his first four year term representing District 7, which covers the Lake Gibson/Polk City/Auburndale area of northern Polk County. His blog, known as Tim for Schools, noted it's first post Saturday on the issue of school concurrency which will be required of developers and government beginning next July. At that time, the number of children who will occupy a planned residential development and their impact on schools will have to be considered during the review of such a development.

Welcome aboard to Mr. Harris, and we look forward to reading more.
