Don House’s Response to Ralph Montgomery’s Editorial
[Don House and Ralph Montgomery both wrote editorials to the Belleair Bee—one week apart—dealing with the subject of the USF/A2K/Gulf Boulevard Study.

I have never before written to this blog. But, time is critical and I hope it can help set some facts straight and get to the truth.

Recently there was an editorial by Ralph Montgomery in the Belleair Bee challenging my comments about the A2K/USF Study, the E.A.R. amendments to IRB’s Comprehensive Plan and their repercussions for the city. If the writer had been at the A2K/USF Study workshop, he would have heard all five commissioners ask Trent Green from USF just which citizens he had been listening to. Don't take my word for it. If you are concerned about the future look of IRB, do two things:
1. Go to City Hall and ask to see the drawings presented by Trent Green for the A2K/USF Study. Ask to see the Gulf Blvd/12th Avenue intersection, the Gulf Blvd/Walsingham intersection, and the plan for the Business Triangle showing the view from the new marina to the Gulf.
2. Then ask Interim City Manager Danny Taylor if, under the proposed wording "ANCILLARY NON-RESIDENTIAL" in the E.A.R. amendments being proposed to our “master plan, a business can put its parking lot in a residential neighborhood. (The answer is YES, by the way!)
I'm not making this stuff up. Ralph Montgomery is a long-standing member of A2K and as such, to paraphrase a line from Hamlet, "The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks."

Watch this gentleman Mr. House. Stay awake and look over your shoulder. Ralph does not like being opposed and can be quite nasty. I’ve seen him ostracize many individuals within A2K who did not agree with him 100%.
Signed,
X-A2K
I agree with "x." A lot of promintent IRBers, household names if you will, were among the early members of the a2k board of directors. As a2k changed to be the type of organization that allowed infiltration and takeover by developer interests those promintent IRBers quietly walked away.
Very sad so many naive people have followed this manipulative man for so long.
The new A2K's president is a developer and a Publix supporter. Is anyone surprised?
