    Kings Bay is getting crowded, the rules haven't caught up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Thirty-five years ago, Citrus County faced a problem that sounds remarkably familiar today: too many people were converging on the same small piece of water in Kings Bay. The county's research, which Crystal River’s Manatee Element was modeled after, explains the issue in the 1980s. “The presence of large numbers of boats in the South Bay alters the way manatees use this critical habitat by confining them to smaller areas,” the document read. The study concluded that the disruption signifi

Individually, the tight-knit teens admit the group, and their unconventional living circumstances, changed their lives and, for some, saved them. They live at Camp E-Nini- Hassee, which, when translated from the Seminole language, means “her sunny road.” The camp is sited deep in the woods a little

    Who pays for Citrus roads when fewer drivers buy gas? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Citrus County has 1,900 miles of roads to maintain – and more than $700 million in repairs waiting, according to a recent Mott MacDonald study. But as more drivers move away from gasoline, county officials say the traditional way of paying for those roads is becoming harder to sustain. Much of the state’s transportation money comes from gasoline taxes. But vehicles are becoming more fuel-efficient, and more drivers are switching to electric vehicles that don’t use gasoline – and therefor

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Filling up the tank is costing Florida drivers about $65 these days. A year ago, the average fill-up cost about $44. That’s a $21 difference – and Citrus County drivers are paying the price, too. As of Monday morning, GasBuddy reported gas prices in Inverness and Crystal River ranging from $4.36 to $4.49 per gallon. In Homosassa, prices hovered around $4.21 to $4.25, while Lecanto drivers found gasoline priced from $4.19 to $4.29 per gallon. Across Florida, gas prices jumped 18 cents last we
