Without a doubt, Sarasota County is one of the most prominent counties in the U.S. because of our quality of life. We live on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, have a number of diverse communities that are rapidly growing, thriving businesses, tourism, the list can go on, and it’s we who have impacted this amazing community. Though we’ve seen so much improvement thanks to the initiatives taken to make these opportunities happen, we’re always going to face a budget—one that involves our taxpayer dollars.
