On Sept. 12, 2019, Trevor Bowen was playing his heart out on the football field. A Hernando High School junior varsity football player, he and his team worked hard and beat a very physical Springstead Eagles team 20-6 on their turf. The next morning Sept. 13, 2019 Trevor Bowen was tragically hit by a van on California Street in Brooksville while walking to school.

During final comments at the regular meeting on September 10, Commissioner Steve Champion requested the board send a letter in unity to Governor Ron DeSantis stating Hernando County supports the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution; the right to bear arms.
Champion said, “We have no say over this, but I think we need to put it on record on what’s happening in our legislation with the state, and with the country regarding our second amendment rights. Like it or not, (our rights) are under attack.”
Never forget September 11, 2001

SPRING HILL- It does not take a large crowd of people in Hernando County to find someone who was deeply affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001. We have residents who worked in the buildings, others who lost relatives and friends. Many of our residents are from the New York area and still have family and friends living there.

Sept. 10, 2019- At the end of every Board of County Commissioners meeting, each commissioner is given an opportunity to comment on a topic they choose. At the end of the BOCC meeting on September 10, 2019, two commissioners gave their thoughts on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Sunshine laws provide insight into the deliberations of elected officials. At one point public meeting were meaningless, because the decisions were already hammered out in smoky back rooms and the meetings were a formality. The discussions in the meetings were meaningless since the decision had been made.
