'now they're here?"

It's no secret that specific populations from PA have decided to 'winter' and settle here in Martin County, FL.

However, consider some recent similarities -- this past year the McKean County city of Bradford, PA, attempted to apply to have Federal Stimulus Funds to repair or replace their longtime fire station but a significant amount of local money was appropriated and used to fund a site survey/study -- and Bradford received no fire-station upgrade funding from the Federal government afterward.

It's winter now, and Martin County, FL, is 'on record' to consider a multi-thousand-dollar "finance consultant' for the school district.

The action is too similar to ignore.

Both the Bradford, PA, locale and a FL regional locale experienced the anomaly of firefighters' homes in flames.
