March 22 hearing set on complaint over LGBT library displays

By John Labriola -

As Citrus County elected leaders prepare to consider shaking up the membership of the county's Library Advisory Board (LAB), the liberal-dominated board will be forced to go on the record on its support for LGBT propaganda displays in our public libraries.

The LAB will meet to consider a formal complaint about the LGBT displays on Tuesday, March 22 at 8 a.m. in the Lecanto Government Building, 3600 W Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL 34461.

"These displays violate community standards, endanger children and force taxpayers to subsidize highly inappropriate political/sexual propaganda," the complaint reads. 

The complaint was filed on Jan. 7 by the Citrus Crusader on behalf of the large number of citizens who have protested the displays at multiple meetings of the Citrus County Commission, culminating on Jan. 4 when commissioners narrowly rejected a proposal to cancel the annual monthlong displays after Commissioner Holly Davis insisted on leaving the issue up to the unelected LAB.

The nine-member LAB will be weighing in on the hot-button issue just weeks before commissioners are set to decide whether to reappoint or replace five LAB members whose terms are expiring. On March 8, commissioners rejected the idea that LAB members are entitled to lifetime terms (as previously claimed by County Attorney Denise Lyn) and agreed to consider LAB applications on April 26, when they will be meeting in their capacity as the governing board for the county library system for the third time this year. Joining them will be fellow governing board members Councilman Ken Brown of Crystal River and Councilwoman Jacquie Hepfer of Inverness, who replaced Councilman Dave Ryan as Inverness' representative on the board a week after the Citrus Crusader presented a Sunshine Law violation complaint alleging that Ryan, Davis and Brown wrongfully discussed library policy matters in private. Davis has angrily denied any wrongdoing, while Brown has ignored calls to step aside. 

The LAB is currently dominated by leftist activists who have championed the monthlong displays celebrating "Gay Pride Month." Featuring rainbow flags, political slogans and books with one-sided messages promoting homosexuality and transgenderism to children, the displays were set up last June in the entranceways of the Inverness and Crystal River libraries.

If the LAB votes to continue the monthlong promotion of LGBT propaganda in the libraries, all eyes will be back on the county commission as they consider LAB applicants next month. At that point, their decision to either reappoint or replace LAB members will be understood as a vote on the underlying issue of LGBT displays and whether to uphold community values or defy the will of the voters by continuing to expose local youth to the LGBT movement's aggressive grooming agenda at taxpayers' expense.

Residents concerned about protecting Citrus County children from LGBT indoctrination should plan on showing up at Tuesday morning's LAB meeting in Lecanto to make your voices heard!

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
