SB 360 Ruled Unconstitutional. By Geniusofdespair

By the way, Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay were part of this lawsuit, helping to fund it (maybe Pinecrest too) although not mentioned. This gives us one more reason to like candidate Eugene Flinn - Palmetto Bay Mayor.

According the South Florida Business Journal:

A Tallahassee judge has declared the so-called Community Renewal Act (SB 360) unconstitutional.

The sweeping growth management legislation, also known as SB 360, ended a 37-year-old regional planning process for major projects known as developments of regional impact DRI's, removed state requirements that developers help pay to upgrade roads, and extended the shelf life of a building permit for two years.

Developers supported the law, but municipal governments, including Weston and Miami Gardens, were outraged by it and sued to overturn it on the grounds that it represented an unfunded mandate.

Homestead was part of the lawsuit as well. Start printing all of the facts.
