NgoJuni siqale ukucela abantu abazongenela ukhetho ukuthi bagcwalise uhlu lwemibuzo ukuze bakusize uqonde ukukhetha kwakho kubhalothi.
Ibhodi lethu labahleli lihlele ukuxoxisana namakhandidethi ngoJulayi emijahweni ezoba nomphathi omusha wokugabadela ngokusekelwe kusisekelo sango-Aug. 18. Ibhodi labahleli lihlele ukucabangela ukwenza izincomo kuleyo mijaho.
Uthole Iziqu ze-Vero Beach High School Iziqu ze-Indian River State College AA, Ufunde e-SUNY State University yaseNew York Uhlelo Lokufunda Ibanga Lokuvikeleka Komphakathi.
Ngasebenza emabhizinisini omndeni kusukela ngineminyaka engu-12 ubudala, i-Vero Beach Ice and Storage, iBlue Crystal Water, i-Earman Oil Co., i-Courtesy House Auto/Truck Stop kanye ne-Earman's Garden Feed kanye noHay.
Ngigijimela isikhundla ukuze ngibuyisele kulo mphakathi onginike okuningi kangaka mina nomndeni wami kusukela ngo-1928. Njengoba ngiyisakhamuzi sempilo yonke ngiyazi lapho besikhona futhi ngifuna ukusiza ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi siyazi ukuthi sidinga ukuya kuphi nokuthi singafika kanjani lapho ngendlela ukuze sizuze wonke umuntu. Ngagijimela leli hhovisi eminyakeni engu-4 edlule futhi ngahlulwa emjahweni osondelene nalowo obephethe njengamanje. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalolo khetho abantu abaningi babehlale bengithinta futhi bengibuza ukuthi ngizophinde ngingenele yini, ngenqaba. lokhu kwaqhubeka futhi ngemva kwezenzo ezithile namavoti enziwe ukhomishana wamanje ezindabeni ezifana nechweba lethu, izindleko zomshwalense wezempilo wesifunda kanye nezinye izindaba eziningi nginqume ngo-August odlule ukuba ngiphishekele lesi sihlalo futhi, ukuze ngisibuyisele kini, izakhamuzi zalesi sifunda kanye neSifunda #3.
Njengamanje kuzofanele kube imithelela ye-COVID-19 emnothweni wesifunda, amabhizinisi kanye nezezimali zesifunda. Ingabe imithelela izothatha isikhathi eside noma esifushane. Asethembe isikhathi esifushane, kodwa uma kungenjalo izinqumo ezinzima kuzodingeka zithathwe futhi ngizokwazi ukwenza lezo zingcingo eziqinile zisekelwe ezinzuzweni ezingcono kakhulu zesifunda sethu sonke.
Izinkinga okungezona i-COVID-19 kuzoba ukubhekana nekhwalithi yethu yamanzi kanye ne-Lagoon heath, ukwenza isiqiniseko noma ukukhula “kuhlakaniphile” futhi kulawulwa ngendlela efanele, ukuthola indlela yokwenza umshwalense wezempilo wabasebenzi nabathatha umhlalaphansi ukwazi ukufinyeleleka kubo bonke nokuthi izikhulu zethu zezokuphepha zomphakathi zinezinsiza ezidingekayo ezizidingayo.
Ukuze siqonde ngqo ephuzwini, ophikisana nami, ikhomishana yamanje izenze yahluleka nakancane njengokhomishana. Ngeke akwazi ukuthola amanye amavoti amabili kunoma yiluphi uhlelo angazama ukulufinyelela ngakho ngokobuchwepheshe ikhomishini yethu isebenza ngo-80%. Ngeke ngivotele amavoti futhi ngiphendule ngezindaba futhi ngizokwenza engikushoyo njengoba nazi ukuthi ngimi kuphi ngezindaba. Ngizoba isilaleli esihle futhi ngizokwenza ukukhathazeka kwakho kube yinto eza kuqala kimi. Lokhu angikwenzeli iholo noma ukuzuza komuntu siqu nokwaneliseka kodwa ukuze ngiqhubekisele phambili isevisi yami. Ngikholelwa futhi emikhawulweni yesikhathi sezikhulu ezikhethiwe njengoba ihhovisi likahulumeni kufanele libe yinkonzo hhayi umsebenzi.

Misa izintela nokusebenzisa imali. Njengazo zonke izakhamizi zase-Indian River County, lesi sifunda siqinisekile ukuthi sizobhekana nezikhathi ezinzima zomnotho. Ngiphakamise inqubomgomo yokunganyuswa kwentela kanye nokumisa ukusetshenziswa kwemali emazingeni onyaka odlule. Ngigijimela ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi uhulumeni akaqhubeki nje nendlela yakhe yokujabula kuyilapho izakhamuzi zilahlekelwa imisebenzi yazo, amabhizinisi azo, amakhaya azo ngisho nezimpilo zazo.
Ukulawulwa Kwentshisekelo Ekhethekile. Enye ingozi enkulu esibhekene nayo wukuhlangabezana nezidingo zezinye izinyunyana zethu. Ngigijimela ukuhlinzeka ngalokho okudingekayo ukuze ngivikele izakhamuzi zethu kodwa hhayi ukuvula isango ngokunikeza izinyunyana ukufinyelela okuqondile esikhwameni jikelele sesifunda. Umbangi wami ungowodaba olulodwa ocashe ngemuva kwesikhathi sakhe esedlule sokuba umengameli wangaphambilini inyunyana emsekela kakhulu ngemali nangabasebenzi. Uzibophezele ngokusobala ekunikezeni “noma yini abayifunayo nabayidingayo”. Ingabe ufuna inhlekelele yezezimali? Nikeza isheke elingenalutho kumbangi wami.
Onyakeni ozayo ngibona uhide lwesinqumo esibaluleke kakhulu okumele thina njengekhomishana sinqobe. Unesibopho sami siqu sokumela:
1. Ukuvikela umphakathi kubhubhane lwe-Covid-19 kanye nokuvikela impilo nokuphepha kwezakhamizi zethu.
4. Ukwenza okudingekayo ukusiza amabhizinisi ukuthi abuyele emsebenzini nokuthi abantu babuyele emsebenzini. Uhulumeni wesifunda awukwazi ukuqhubeka nokwengeza ezindlekweni zebhizinisi ngemithetho, i-red tape, nezinkokhelo.
5. Ungakhohlwa izingane zethu! Nakuba silwa izimpi futhi sikhathazeka ngesabelomali, asikwazi ukukhohlwa umthwalo wethu wemfanelo ezakhamuzini zethu ezincane kunazo zonke. Nginaye futhi ngisazoqhubeka nokuba ummeli wezingane ozinikele. UMkhandlu Wenkonzo Yezingane, isevisi yamavolontiya yokutholwa, kanye nokunakekelwa kwengane okungeyona eyakho kuvele kucace nje izinto ezidingekayo ukuze kubhekwane kahle nezindawo ezibalulekile zezingane nemindeni ekhungethwe ubumpofu. Ngiyaziqhenya ngokwaziwa njengokhomishana wezingane.
Okuhlangenwe nakho: Ngibe nguKhomishana Wesifunda iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili yeminyaka enzima kakhulu i-Indian River County eyake yabhekana nayo. Sikunqobile ukuwohloka okukhulu komnotho neziphepho. Siyaqhubeka nokulwa nezinsongo endaweni esizungezile, izinsongo empilweni, nokuphepha okubangelwa isitimela. Manje sibhekene nezinselele ezintsha futhi ulwazi lwami luyadingeka ukusiza ukubhekana nalezo zinselele.
Isipiliyoni Somkhakha Womphakathi: Ngineminyaka engama-40 yesipiliyoni njengomnikazi webhizinisi kanye nosomabhizinisi. Lapho ngineminyaka engu-19, ngaba omunye wabancane kunabo bonke abake baphumelela ukuhlolwa kweFlorida General Contractors. Nginomsebenzi omude wokuqonda izinselele kanye nezingqinamba abantu ababhekana nazo lapho bezama ukuqhuba ibhizinisi. Umbangi wami ngakolunye uhlangothi akasoze alahlekelwa yimali engenayo ngoba njengesisebenzi se-IRC uthathe umhlalaphansi ephethe iphakethe lomhlalaphansi lenyunyana elinemali eningi, kodwa nokho, uthi uyazi ukuthi imindeni nabanikazi bamabhizinisi amancane ababhekene nakho.
Ubuqotho: Ukwethembeka kwami kukuzakhamuzi zase-Indian River County. Njengomdabu wesizukulwane sesithathu uthando lwami ngomphakathi wasekhaya lujulile. Yilapho engikhethe khona ukwakha ibhizinisi lami futhi ngikhulise umndeni wami. Kuyangikhathaza ukuthi ukwethembeka kokuqala kwembangi yami kukunyunyana ayesebenza kuyo njengoMongameli.
Ukumelela abantu ngokuzimela kuhlanganisa izithakazelo ezikhethekile: Omunye umehluko uhlu lwami lwabasekeli. Abasekeli bami baqhutshwa isixazululo futhi bayawaqonda amagalelo engiwenzile ngesikhathi ngisekhomishini.
1. Ngisekelwa abantu abasebenze ngokuzikhandla ekuthengiseni i-Vero Beach Electric nge-FPL. Isibonelo, uDkt. Stephen Faherety nabanye abaningi abafinyelele isiphetho esiyimpumelelo besindisa izakhamuzi zethu izigidi. Umbangi wami ngakolunye uhlangothi usekelwa abantu ababephikisana nokudayiswa kweVero Electric.
Umbangi wami usekelwa abantu abazame ukuthola uhulumeni we-charter e-Indian River County, okuvumela iqembu elinentshisekelo enamandla ukuthi liqoke izikhulu ezihlanganisa nesherifu.
3. Ngisekelwa osomabhizinisi abangabadali bemisebenzi futhi abanikela kakhulu kusisekelo sentela sendawo. Uhlu lwabamelene nami luhlanganisa izikhulu ezathwesa amabhizinisi izimali eziwumthwalo nemithetho eyaba ababulali bemisebenzi nabamabhizinisi.
Ngiyohlale ngilethela ubuqotho nokuzimela esihlalweni seKhomishana yesiFunda yesi-3. Angiyona indoda ethi “yebo” ngentshisekelo ekhethekile. Lokho akusho ukuthi angizwani nabantu. Kimina lokho kusho okuphambene, kusho ukuthi ngifikela eziphethweni zami ngokusekelwe kulokho okulungele umphakathi wonke, hhayi nje iqembu elincane elilodwa. Ngingumuntu obuza imibuzo eminingi futhi ocwaninga izindaba. Angizigxivizi izinto zenjoloba ezifika kukhomishini ngoba nje ngicindezelwa. Ngaziwa ngokumelana namaqembu anesithakazelo esikhethekile, ngisebenzela abantu kanzima, futhi ngingakhothameli abantu abanethonya.
Ngingakukhuthaza ukuthi uvakashele iwebhusayithi yami ukuze ufunde uhlu olubanzi lwezinto engizifezile kanye nemizamo yami. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi sami bengisebenza kanzima ukuvikela umphakathi wakithi. Ukusho izindawo ezimbalwa nje:
1. Ngabamba iqhaza elikhulu ekuthengiseni i-Vero Electric ngisindisa izakhamuzi namabhizinisi ethu. Usuku ngalunye abakhokhi bezinga lendawo manje bonga u-$54,000 noma amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-20 ezikweletini zabo zasendaweni zikagesi.
2. I-Indian River Lagoon Council yasungulwa kodwa i-Indian River County yayingelona ilungu lokuvota. Ngethule amavoti amathathu ahlukene ukuze ngivikele i-Indian River County njengelungu lokuvota ngaphambi kokuphumelela kokugcina. (I-Indian River Lagoon Council inomthwalo wemfanelo wokuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa i-IRLNEP Lagoon National Estuary Plan. Lolu hlelo luwumhlahlandlela wokusiza ukubuyisela nokubuyisela iLagoon.)
3. Ucwaningo lwe-Bethel Creek Flushing kube umgomo wami ngaphambi kokukhethwa. Ngemva kweminyaka yomzamo kanye nokweseka umphakathi uxhaso lwezimali olugunyazwe yi-FIT Florida Institute of Technology eMelbourne ukuze luqhube Isigaba I socwaningo. Imiphumela yokuqala ibuyile, futhi ikhuthaza kakhulu. Isigaba sesi-II socwaningo lokuguquguquka sisanda kugunyazwa nguMbusi uDeSantis kusabelomali sombuso.
Yebo. Njengoba sibona emakethe yamanje akukona konke ukuwohloka komnotho okungabikezelwa. Njengosonkontileka ojwayelekile ngesikhathi sokuqala kwengcindezi yezindlu ozakwethu kanye nami sasisayine izinkontileka zamakhasimende ngamadiphozithi ezindlu eziningi ezinenani lezigidi zamadola. Amakhasimende ashiya isibopho sawo sokuvala futhi asishiya sithwele umthwalo wemali mboleko yezimali zokwakha. Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kungenze ngaba ukhomishana ohlakaniphe kakhudlwana ngoba ngihambe ezicathulweni zabanikazi bamabhizinisi abadonsa kanzima ngaphansi kwezimo ezikhona ezimakethe.

Kusukela ngesikhathi mina noNancy, umkami esasishade naye iminyaka engu-42, senza i-Indian River County ikhaya lethu, sathola umphakathi owamukelayo. Ngazibuza ukuthi ngingazibuyisela kanjani izakhamuzi zakithi ukuze ngiyenze ibe indawo engcono kakhulu yokuhlala. Ngabona ukuthi uhulumeni wasekhaya unomthelela omkhulu ezimpilweni zethu, kakhulu kunohulumeni wezifundazwe kanye noHulumeni abathola yonke imithombo yezindaba. Nganquma ukuthatha ulwazi engangiluthole ngisebenza iminyaka engu-36 ebhizinisini lokuphatha ukutshalwa kwezimali, ikakhulukazi ezezimali zikamasipala, ukuze ngisize uhulumeni ahlinzeke ngezinsizakalo zakhe ngempumelelo nangendlela eyongayo. Kulula ukuhlala eceleni ukhononde. Kungumsebenzi omningi owengeziwe ukugoqa imikhono futhi ube yingxenye yesixazululo. Njengoba ungabona ohlwini lwami lokubamba iqhaza komphakathi kanye nezinto engizifezile kohulumeni basekhaya (konke ngaphandle kwesinxephezelo) ngithathe umzila wokusebenza kanzima. Ngikholelwa ukuthi, uma kungenzeka, yenza ukuhlaziya usebenzisa izinombolo eziqinile namaqiniso. Enye yezinto ezinamandla kakhulu ongazingenisa emhlanganweni kahulumeni ispredishithi.
Okuhamba phambili kokuqala ukubhekana nomthelela walolu bhubhane kubantu beSifundazwe, umnotho, kanye nezezimali zikahulumeni. Mancane amathuba okuthi esikhathini esiseduze kube khona ikhambi eliyisimangaliso elizohlehlisa imiphumela yalo noma umuthi wokugoma osebenzayo (ngethemba ukuthi nginephutha kulawa maphuzu) ngakho-ke yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele iSifundazwe sizithathe ngokubambisana nomphakathi wezokwelapha kanye nabanye ochwepheshe ukuvikela izakhamizi zethu futhi senze umnotho wethu uqhubeke. Ubunzima bomnotho yingxenye enkulu yalesi sifo okumele ibhekwe. Izimali zesiFunda zibe nomthelela ekwehleni okukhulu kwezimali zentela yokuthengisa kanye nemali engenayo yentela yezivakashi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungenzeka ukuthi usizo oluvela kuHulumeni kanye nohulumeni weFederal luzokwehla. Umbuzo uthi kungokwesikhashana lokhu. Lesi simo kuzomele sihlaziywe ngokucophelela.
Izinto ezintathu ziyangihlukanisa nezimbangi zami kulo mjaho—ikhono lami, indlela yokusebenza, kanye nerekhodi lokuphumelela. Amakhono okuhlaziya izimali engiwathole eminyakeni engama-36 yokuphatha amakhulu ezigidigidi zamaRandi emali yabanye abantu anginika unyawo ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi imali yomkhokhintela isetshenziswa ngendlela efanele ukuletha izidingongqangi zikahulumeni. Nginokuziphatha okuqinile emsebenzini njengoba kungabonwa yiwo wonke amabhodi kahulumeni namakhomishini engisebenze kuwo. Izikhulu zikahulumeni zifinyelela kimi ukuze ngikhonze kulawo mabhodi, futhi lokho ngikwenza ngokuzithandela ukuze ngenze lesiFundazwe sibe indawo engcono yokuhlala. Okubalulekile, ngenze le nkonzo kahulumeni ngenkathi ngithola isinxephezelo esingu-ZERO.
Ekugcineni, nginomlando wokufeza izinto. I-Indian River Taxpayers Association yanginika umklomelo wabo "weFiscal Conservative of the Year" ngo-2018 "ngokuqaphela imizamo yakho yokonga amadola abakhokhi bentela kuzo zonke izakhamizi zase-Indian River County." Izibonelo ezintathu zezinto ezifeziwe: #1–NjengeKhansela Edolobheni Lomkhandlu Wase-Indian River Shores ngiphakamise ukudayiswa kwendawo enqwabelene engaphansi kweDolobha (intengo yokuthengisa engu-$4.6 MM). Nganxenxa uMkhandlu ukuba usebenzise le mali ukuze uxhase ngokugcwele Isikhwama Sempesheni Yokuphepha Komphakathi kanye Nesinye IsiKhwama Semihlomulo Yangemva Kokuqashwa (OPEB) (esikhokhela izinzuzo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo kwalabo asebathatha umhlalaphansi) kunokuba unciphise intela kanye njengoba elinye iKhansela lalifuna. Imiphumela: Isikhwama Sempesheni kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka Wezimali ka-2019 sasixhaswe ngo-107% kanti i-OPEB Trust yayixhaswe ngo-142%. Sikwazile ukwehlisa iminikelo eqhubekayo yeDolobha kulezi ziKhwama ezimbili okuholele ekwehleni kwezinga lokukhokhwa kwentela yezakhiwo zeDolobha ngo-19%. #2–Ngasebenza njengoSihlalo weKomidi Lokucwaningwa Kwamabhuku Lwebhodi Lesikole Sesifunda Sesikole sase-Indian River. Ngokusekelwe olwazini engiluqoqile mayelana nesinxephezelo sommeli Webhodi Lesikole kwezinye izifunda, sancoma ukuthi inkontileka yommeli Webhodi Lesikole (okwamanje ekhokha u-$264,000 ngonyaka kanye nezindleko) ikhishwe ukuze kubonakale ukuthi singakwazi yini ukonga imali Yesifunda Sesikole ukuze siyisebenzisele ukufundisa abafundi. Lokho kuyenzeka manje. #3–Ngiphakamise izindlela ze-FDOT zokusheshisa ukuphuma kwesiphepho siye ngasentshonalanga ku-State Route 60 eduze ne-Florida Turnpike esisetshenziswayo manje.

Kusukela ngo-2016, lapho ngiba ngowesifazane wokuqala owake waqala isikhathi sakhe soMkhandlu Wedolobha njengeMeya emlandweni weminyaka eyi-100 weVero Beach, ngokuziqhenya ngigqoka ibheji legama lami elisemthethweni nsuku zonke nomaphi lapho ngiya khona. Lesi senzo esilula sisebenzele ukukhuthaza abantu ukuthi bakhulume nami noma nini noma kuphi nganoma yini esezingqondweni zabo. Kungenza ngihlale ngithintana namathemba namaphupho abo, kanye nokwesaba kwabo nezinto ezibakhathazayo, ngomphakathi wethu.
Abantu bangasuka kimina benolwazi lokuthi bayakwazi ukufinyelela ngqo kuhulumeni wasekhaya. Ukuthi imicabango nemizwa yabo ibalulekile futhi izocatshangelwa ekuthathweni kwezinqumo. Akuwona umcimbi wesikhathi esisodwa; kuyisiqalo sobudlelwano. Ngiyabamema ukuthi bangithinte noma kunini. Ngibheka uhulumeni wasekhaya kanye neqhaza lami kuwo njengobudlelwane noBantu. Ithemba elingcwele. Akufanele kube khona ababusi abavela phezulu. Umholi osezingeni eliphansi ukuxhumana nabantu kubaluleke kakhulu kunakuqala namuhla. Ngiyabajabulela abantu. Ngiyakuthokozela ukuxazulula izinkinga. Ngibusiswe nge-grit yokujula ngokujulile kudatha edingekayo bese ngibamba isikhundla esisekelwe kuyo, kanye nomusa wokwakha ubambiswano oluthuthukisa lezo zikhundla ukuze kuzuze bonke. Ngaleyo nhlanganisela yegrit nomusa, ngibonga abazali bami.

Ngigijimela usherifu ngoba nginombono womsebenzi wamaphoyisa e-Indian River County obandakanya ukubambisana okukhulu nomphakathi; ukusebenzisana okusekelwe phezu kwesisekelo sokuthi ubugebengu buyinkinga yomphakathi futhi sonke kufanele sisebenzisane ukuze sinciphise ubugebengu futhi sithuthukise izinga lempilo yethu. Ngigijima futhi ukuze ngikhulume nesiko lenhlangano elingasebenzi ehhovisi likasheriff elethwa yisitayela sobuholi esiqhakambisa ukwethembeka komuntu ngaphezu kwethalente nekhono. Isitayela esingakuxazululi ngokwanele ukushayisana kwamaholo noma senza amathuba atholakale kuwo wonke amalungu ngendlela engenzeleli, engakhethi, futhi engaguquki. Lesi sitayela sobuholi sixoshe abantu abaningi abasezingeni eliphezulu futhi kwaholela ekuziphatheni okuphansi kanye nenkonzo embi. Abaningi emphakathini balahlekelwe yinhlonipho, futhi bathembele ehhovisi lethu lomasipala.
Ukubhekana nezinselelo eziningi ezibhekene nomphakathi wethu kanye nomsebenzi wokugcinwa komthetho wonkana. I-COVID-19, ukuguqulwa kobulungiswa bobugebengu, kanye nosongo lobuphekula luhamba phambili ohlwini, kodwa kufanele futhi sihlale sigxile ezindabeni eziningi eziqhubeka zidinga ukunakekelwa kwethu: ubugebengu, izidakamizwa, ukukhathazeka komgwaqo, impilo yengqondo, nokwanda kwabantu abangenamakhaya. Konke lokhu kuyizinto eziseqhulwini kodwa azikwazi ukubhekwana nazo ngokwanele kuze kube yilapho silungisa izinkinga zobuholi nokuziphendulela ezifaka isandla ekulahlekelweni kwabasebenzi abasezingeni eliphezulu kanye nokulahlekelwa ukwethenjwa komphakathi.
Ngiyisikhulu esiphezulu sezomthetho somnyango wamaphoyisa esineminyaka engu-31 yolwazi lokugcinwa komthetho e-Indian River County. Sekuyisikhathi eside ngakha ubudlelwano nabantu abaningi ngomsebenzi wami kanye nezinhlangano ezisebenza kahle futhi nginomlando wokwenza umsebenzi wenziwe. Nginikeza umbono wamaphoyisa e-Indian River County ngokusekelwe kufilosofi yokuwina umklomelo eyaqalwa lapho ngiba umphathi wamaphoyisa e-Fellsmere. Lowo mbono futhi ungumkhiqizo wemibono yesakhamuzi etholwe phakathi nemihlangano eyishumi nambili yamahholo edolobha eyaqhutshwa kusukela ngoJuni 2019. Ngenxa yeminyaka yami engama-31 ngisebenzela lo mphakathi, ulwazi lwami ngezinkinga ezikhungethe ihhovisi lethu lomasipala kanye nemibono yezakhamizi, nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ihhovisi lethu losherifu lidinga umholi onolwazi onomlando ofakazelwe wempumelelo ezingeni eliphezulu; obona ukusongelwa okukhulu kokuphepha kwethu, oqondayo isidingo sokubambisana, futhi onamakhono nekhono lokuhlanganisa abantu abahlukahlukene ukuze bagxile embonweni: ukunciphisa ubugebengu nokuthuthukisa izinga lethu lempilo kuyilapho sibuyisela ukwethenjwa komphakathi.

Ngiyazi ngokuzibonela mathupha kunezinkinga zangaphakathi ezibanzi ehhovisi. inani elikhulu lokumosha imali abakhokhi bentela abangalazi. Isibonelo: ihhovisi elisanda kuvulwa ebhishi elingahlonyiselwe ngisho nokukhipha izincwadi zokushayela. Ivaliwe kusukela ngoMashi (hhayi ngisho nonyaka ngemva kokuvulwa) futhi abakhokhi bentela basohlwini lwabakhokhi bentela cishe u-$6k nyanga zonke ukumboza irenti, izinsiza, njll., kungani leli hhovisi elisha laze lacatshangelwa ngenkathi ucwaningo olufanele lungakaqedwa ngisho nokuqedwa, njengezindleko zefiber optics. $24,000 Ngonyaka ngama-$2,000 nyanga zonke asetshenziswa ukuba semsakazweni ukukhangisa ihhovisi. Ukwenyuka kwamaholo okweqile ngenxa yokwethembeka okucatshangwayo - umsizi omkhulu wathola cishe ukukhushulwa komholo ngo-$20,000 ngonyaka odlule futhi okwamanje wenza ama-$87,769 ngonyaka! Leli ihhovisi likahulumeni!
Ngizoletha ukuvuleleka okudingeka kakhulu, ukuziphendulela, ubuholi obunesimilo kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wezezimali ehhovisi.
Ukugcinwa kwabasebenzi, ukuqeqeshwa kokuzwela, ukubuyekezwa okusekelwe ekusebenzeni, ukukhuphuka okusekelwe ekusebenzeni okusekelwe ekuzuzeni kanye nokwelulekwa ngokulandelana ezikhundleni ezibucayi. Eminyakeni engu-11 yokuphatha kwamanje, abasebenzi abangu-106 bashiye ehhovisi. Isabelomali sika-2019/2020 sibonisa izikhundla ezingama-68. Umqoqi Wentela wamanje uqokwe esikhundleni ngo-2009 enabasebenzi abangama-46. Ngangingumsebenzi #61 ukuthi ngihambe ngo-2016, lokho kusho ukuthi abanye abasebenzi abangama-45 bahambile eminyakeni emi-3 1/2! Kudingeka isilinganiso samaRandi angu-8 000 ukuqeqesha ngokugcwele isisebenzi, esilingana no-$848,000 wamadola abakhokhi bentela alahlekile! Kusetshenziswa izinkampani ezimbili ezihlukene eziqashisa ngezisebenzi (eyodwa eseTallahassee???) Ifemu yaseTallahassee isetshenziselwa ukuphatha abasebenzi abathatha umhlalaphansi ababuyiswa njengosonkontileka abazimele! Lokhu akufanele kwenzeke! Ukweluleka nokukhuthaza kusukela ezingeni lokuqala akugcini nje ngokudala indawo enhle yokusebenza, kodwa kuqinisekisa ukuthi ulwazi lwesikhungo luyadluliselwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe uhlelo lokulandelana oluqinile noluphusile lwezikhundla ezibalulekile.
Izimiso zokuziphatha. Angiyena usopolitiki futhi anginaso isifiso sokukhuphuka izitebhisi zezombangazwe eTallahassee. Ngibambe iqhaza ngokujulile emphakathini wethu ngezinhlangano zomphakathi nezingenzi nzuzo. Ngineminyaka engu-14 yesipiliyoni sezinga eliphezulu ehhovisi Lomqoqi Wentela kuhlanganiswe neminyaka engama-22 yesipiliyoni sebhange. Ngikholwa ukuthi ulwazi luyidlula kude iminyaka engu-11 uMqoqi Wentela wamanje esemsebenzini. Lo msebenzi angiwubheki njengesikhundla sokuphila konke. Ngiyakholelwa emikhawulweni yethemu! Ngenxa yamakhono ami okusebenza kanye nenkonzo yamakhasimende; njengeNhloko Yezabasebenzi iminyaka emi-5 kweyisi-7 ngisebenzela umqoqi wentela wamanje, ngaba neqhaza elikhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwenqubomgomo nezinqubo eziningi ezikhona njengamanje ehhovisi lomqoqi wentela. Ngigxile kakhulu emphakathini wethu futhi ngikholelwa ukuthi ukunikela ngesikhathi sami, ithalente kanye nengcebo kubalulekile njengokukhokhelwa ngokomsebenzi emahhovisi asekhaya.

UCarole Jean Jordan, waseWest Virginian ngokuzalwa, wathuthela eFlorida ekuqaleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha. Usebenze embonini yezindiza egcwele abesilisa waze wathuthela eVero Beach nomndeni wakhe waba usomabhizinisi wesifazane omncane. Ngo-1973, yena nomyeni wakhe, uBill, basungula i-Jordan Sprinkler Systems, Inc., inkampani yokunisela esebenzela iVero Beach. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, i-Jordan yathatha imisebenzi yebhizinisi yansuku zonke, kuhlanganise nokwengamela isevisi yamakhasimende, ukuphathwa kwezimali, nobudlelwane nabasebenzi. Namuhla, inkampani isebenzela iTreasure Coast ngaphansi kokuphathwa kwendodana yabo, uBilly.
U-Jordan wanqoba izinselele eziningi ngenkathi ethuthukisa ibhizinisi lakhe, okuhlanganisa ukulinganisa izimfuno zobunikazi bebhizinisi nokuba ngumama kuyilapho efunda amakhono okuphatha emsebenzini, ukusebenza ngaphakathi kwemithetho ehlala ishintsha yendawo nekahulumeni, nokwengamela ngenkuthalo izindawo zemisebenzi ngaphambi kokuba ukuba khona kwabesifazane ekwakhiweni kwamukeleke kakhulu. Ukuzibophezela kukaJordan ensizakalweni yamakhasimende esezingeni eliphezulu, ukuxhumana njalo, kanye nokwengeza izinsiza ezintsha njalo kwakuyizici ezibalulekile ekukhuliseni i-Jordan Sprinkler Systems empumelelweni yayo yamanje.
U-Jordan udlulise ulwazi lwakhe kanye namakhono akhe okuphatha esuka emhlabeni wezinkampani wawayisa kwezombusazwe. Okhethiwe onguSihlalo we-Republican Party yaseFlorida ngo-2003, wabumba kabusha inhlangano ngokusebenzisa imikhuba yesimanje esekelwe ebhizinisini emzamweni wokugqugquzela ukusebenza kahle, ukuhlela okungcono, ubudlelwano obuhle bomphakathi, kanye nokuthuthukisa inqubomgomo yezimali ephusile. Ngaphansi kobuholi bakhe, IQembu laqeda izikweletu ezicishe zibe izigidi ezintathu zamaRandi, kanye nokwanelisa ngokuphelele imali ebolekiwe eGeorge HW Bush Republican Center eTallahassee, eFlorida, futhi lasungula izinqubo zezimali eziphusile ukuze lilawule izigidi zamarandi eziqoqwe futhi zasetshenziswa egameni lalabo abazongenela ukhetho. Ngo-2003, waqasha iFlorida Federation of Black Republicans, inhlangano yokuqala yabantu abamnyama baseRiphabhulikhi. UMongameli uGeorge W. Bush uphinde waqokwa ngesikhathi engusihlalo wakhe ngo-2004 ngamavoti acela ku-400,000 ezweni lonke. Ukwengeza, iFlorida yayingesinye sezifundazwe ezintathu kuphela ezakhetha iRiphabhulikhi esihlalweni esivulekile sobugubernatori ngo-2006. Impumelelo yobuholi bakhe yaqashelwa ngokushesha, okwaholela ekukhethweni kwakhe njengoSihlalo WoMkhandlu KaSihlalo Womkhandlu Wekomiti Likazwelonke LeRiphabhulikhi Yomkhandlu.
Ngo-2005, u-Jordan waqokwa kwiKhomishini KaMongameli Yezobudlelwano Be-White House, uhlelo olunikeza izinsizwa nezintombi isipiliyoni sokuqala sokusebenza emazingeni aphezulu kahulumeni weNhlangano. NjengoKhomishana, usebenze ngokubambisana nozakwabo ukuqondisa le nqubo yokuncintisana kakhulu yokukhetha ama-White House Fellows eqenjini elikhethekile labaphumelele kuzwelonke.
U-Carole Jean Jordan uqokwe nguMongameli ukuthi asebenze njengelungu loMkhandlu Kazwelonke Webhizinisi Labesifazane ngo-2007. I-NWBC isebenza njengebhodi lokweluleka le-White House, iCongress, kanye ne-Small Business Administration ezindabeni ezithinta abanikazi bamabhizinisi besifazane.
UJordan usesebenzele izithunywa zamazwe ngamazwe eziningana, okuhlanganisa nohambo oluya eRussia, Taiwan naseHong Kong. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uke wavela ku-MSNBC, CNN, NBC, FOX kanye nenqwaba yezinye iziteshi zomsakazo nezethelevishini zikazwelonke nezamazwe ngamazwe.
UCarole Jean Jordan njengamanje usebenza njengoMqoqi Wentela wase-Indian River County. Wakhethwa ngoNovemba 2008 futhi ungowesifazane wokuqala ukuphatha lesi sikhundla somthethosisekelo.

Ngigijima ngoba sisendleleni eyakhayo, okumele siqhubeke kuyona. Senze intuthuko enkulu njengoba ihhovisi lethu ligxile ekuzivumelaniseni nezimo, ukuba lula, nokusebenza kahle. Ngemva kokuthatha isikhundla sokuba Umqoqi Wentela, ithimba labaholi nabasebenzi bashintshela kokuthi “singakusiza kanjani?” imodeli yesevisi.
Eqenjini lethu, ukuzivumelanisa nezimo kubalulekile cishe kuyo yonke into esiyenzayo. Ukuzivumelanisa nezimo eHhovisi Lomqoqi Wentela kuyadingeka ukuze kuzuzwe ibhalansi ephezulu yobuchwepheshe/yobuchwepheshe obuphansi kuye ngentshisekelo yekhasimende nezisetshenziswa, ukunikezela ngamasevisi amasha noma izinsiza zokwenza ezasendaweni izakhamuzi ezifisa ukuba zifinyeleleke kalula, ukukhathazeka okuhlobene nokuhamba, kanye nokulungiswa kwakamuva kakhulu kuphendulwa isiqondiso sezwe esihlobene ne-COVID-19. Ukusheshisa ukusetshenziswa nokusebenza kobuchwepheshe ehhovisi kwakubalulekile. Kusukela lapho abantu bevuka, usuku lwabo lugcwele ama-smartphones, ama-TV, amathebhulethi, namakhompyutha. Njengoba abantu babenethezeka kakhudlwana ngokwenza ibhizinisi likahulumeni phezu kwemishini yabo, sazivumelanisa nezimo ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi simi kahle ukuze sikwazi ukukwamukela lokho. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lohlamvu lwemali, siye sagcina izinketho zendabuko zabantu abangakhululekile ngezinqubo zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu. Ithimba lethu lobuholi lisebenze ngokubambisana ukwenza ukulingana okuhle phakathi kwalokhu okubili okuthandwayo. Ukuletha izinhlelo zikazwelonke emphakathini wendawo kuthole impendulo eyakhayo kanye nenani elihle lokusetshenziswa. Isibonelo, cishe eminyakeni emithathu sisebenze njenge-ejenti yokwamukela izicelo ze-TSA Pre-Check, sicubungule izicelo ezicela ku-6,000. Izinkinga zokuhamba zingasukela ezimweni ezingokomzimba noma zezokwelapha noma ngenxa yokuntuleka kokufinyelela kwezokuthutha ezithembekile. Sithole impendulo eyakhayo evela kubantu abathi ukukwazi ukuqhuba ibhizinisi kuwebhusayithi yethu noma ngokusebenzisa imizila ye-drive-thru kusizile kakhulu ekudambiseni eminye yale mishikashika lapho siqhuba ibhizinisi.
Ukunethezeka kuyisihluthulelo sokudala ukusebenzisana okuhle kwamakhasimende. Sikhulise ukusebenziseka kwezinsiza zeHhovisi Lomqoqi Wentela ngezindlela eziningi. Okokuqala, samukela ihhovisi lendawo le-DMV eliphethwe uhulumeni. Lolu hlelo bekuyisinyathelo esisodwa esibheke ekwakhiweni kwethu isitolo esisodwa sokuthola izinsiza zikahulumeni wasekhaya. Okwesibili, sidale izikhundla ezengeziwe zesevisi yamakhasimende ukuze sikhonze abantu abaningi ngesikhathi esisodwa - futhi sakwazi ukwenza lokhu ngenkathi sisabuyisela imali engaphezu kuka-$31 wezigidi e-Indian River County. Okwesithathu, sengeze ihhovisi lesine e-Oceanside County Complex. Le ndawo yenze izinto ezimbili: izikhathi zokulinda ezincishisiwe eHhovisi Eliyinhloko ngokususa isidingo sokuthi izakhamuzi zasogwini zize eSakhiwo Sokuphatha Sesifunda futhi yanikeza izakhamuzi zethu ezisempumalanga namabhizinisi indawo eseduze yokusebenzela. Silindele ukumemezela ukwengezwa kwezinsizakalo zelayisensi yokushayela ehhovisi lolwandle emasontweni ezayo. Okokugcina, sasebenzisa izinsiza ze-Express Lane, ezidale ithuba lokuthi izakhamuzi zivuselele ukubhaliswa kwezimoto zazo zisebenzisa ingosi yethu evikelekile ye-inthanethi bese ziphinde zikhiphe isitikha sazo esincane esiphuzi nge-Express Lane eWest, Main, namahhovisi e-Sebastian kanye nange-Main Office drive-thru, ngokuvamile ngalolo suku.
Ukusebenza kahle kuwuphawu lwehhovisi likahulumeni eliphethwe kahle. Imodeli yethu yebhizinisi ehamba phambili yokuba isitolo esitobhi esisodwa sezinsizakalo zikahulumeni ezingaphezu kweshumi nambili isiza ukudala lokhu kumakhasimende. Ekuvakasheni okukodwa, isakhamuzi sase-Indian River County singenza ilayisense yaso yokushayela yaseFlorida i-Real ID Act ihambisane, sivuselele ukubhaliswa kwemoto yaso futhi siqoqe isitikha saso esincane esiphuzi, sithenge i-transponder ye-SunPass, sikhokhe intela yendawo, sithenge Ilayisensi Yokuzingela Nokudoba, sifake isicelo sesimo somhambi esaziwayo sasekhaya ngohlelo lwe-TSA Pre-Check, futhi sihambise isicelo saso Selayisensi Yezikhali Ezifihliwe. Uma lowo muntu enebhizinisi noma isikebhe, angakwazi ukuphatha lezo zintela nokubhaliswa, futhi. Ukwengeza, uma bengumshayeli wamaloli ezentengiselwano noma isisebenzi se-hospitality, singasiza ngenqubo yokufaka isicelo sekhadi le-TWIC. Uma lowo muntu futhi edinga ukunyatheliswa kweminwe ukuze uthole ilayisense yobungcweti yaseFlorida, njengomsunguli wemali mboleko yendlu noma ummeli, noma isitifiketi se-HazMat, singakunikeza futhi lokho ngenkontileka yethu ne-IdentoGO.
Kuyilungelo lami ukusebenza njengomqoqi wakho wentela. Okubalulekile kwami okuphezulu kusukela osukwini lokuqala ngithatha izintambo nokuqhubekela phambili kusewukudala umuzwa wesevisi yamakhasimende omuhle futhi osebenza kahle ovumelana nokushintsha izikhathi, ukunikezwa kwesevisi entsha, kanye nokwanda kwabantu base-Indian River County.
Njengomnikazi webhizinisi elincane kusukela ngo-1973, ngiyaqonda ukuthi yini edingekayo ukuze ubhalansise isevisi yamakhasimende ehlukile nezinyathelo zokonga. Ukuthola leyo bhalansi akuyona into ehlala ifundiswa emisebenzini yezinkampani ezinkampanini ezinkulu. Ukuba nesizinda sezamabhizinisi ngaphezu kwamashumi eminyaka okuhlangenwe nakho kobuholi obuphezulu, kungibeka ezikhundleni ezihlukile zokuthi ngiqhubeke nokuqeda ukuphatha, ngigxile ekusebenzelaneni okuhle kwamakhasimende, futhi ngiqhubeke nokubuyisela amadola eqile e-Indian River County ngokuphathwa kwezimali ngendlela elandelanayo.
