Sarah Sprinkel Is Right For Winter Park

VOTE TUESDAY, MARCH 9th – find your polling place

The public face of the Winter Park Mayoral election is one of the typical platitudes with an occasional soap opera thrown in.

What matters, however, is policy. Sarah Sprinkel has a strong record of reasonableness and sound policy judgment in her previous nine years of service on the commission. As a person of proven character and accomplishment, she has rightly earned the endorsement of six Winter Park mayors and deserves our vote.

The current four commissioners have each been promoted and financially supported by Jennifer and Phil Anderson. All four commissioners have dutifully endorsed Phil’s candidacy. Here are a few of their policies since taking control of the commission in 2020:

• “Rescinded” the Orange Avenue Overlay (OAO) codes in violation of our own laws.
• Spent several hundred thousand dollars on consultants to redesign the OAO to their personal preferences.
• Voted to raise the property tax rate, then backed off under public pressure.
• Made backyard chickens legal in your neighborhood.
• Are currently moving to spend $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 for less than 1.5 acres of land on Fairbanks to construct a parking lot.

Contrast these policies with Sarah Sprinkel’s nine years of accomplishments.
