TV is recruiting in certain local areas. However, the message might be hard to decipher. A recent flier that arrived in at least one Citrus County mailbox touted a list of special pricing - in Russian! Only those with decoder rings need apply. Leaders could use a tech impact fee The computer system didn't always cooperate last week during the County Commission's workshop on impact fees. How about adding a technology impact fee, one commissioner asked jokingly during a computer-created lull in the meting. (An occasional look at the funny things that happen in Citrus County.) We'll drink to that! At the County Commission meeting last week, lawyer Clark Stillwell inquired about the status of a proposed ordinance. Gary Maidhof, director of development services, said it was in the works. To quote winemakers Ernest and Julio Gallo, Maidhof said, "We shall serve no ordinance before its time."
