Once again pine forest Estates , Bristol Park forgotten and not considered for water mitigation projects until after the area floods once again. The public considered the area a constant waste of tax payers dollars, when in reality the only ones paying are the homeowners, not the insurance companies, the county or the state and federal government. Ashamed that one of the oldest subdivisions and homes in the county occupied and lived by young couples, seniors and every segment of our society is ignore, and bypass by fellow citizens , elected officials and community.
