I truly believe that Key Largo and unincorporated Tavernier need to incorporate. It’s a financial necessity and the only hope for good government. The county once prepared a report claiming Key Largo was a “recipient” community. The idea was to stifle incorporation talk and kick up some dust over the wastewater funding inequity.
I’ve written lots of posts on the subject. Some of which could probably use some updating. Here they are listed here in no particular order.
