TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, the Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.
The Lightning honored Dr. Teresita Matos-Post as the community hero during the game on April 11.
She is the director of the Beth El Farmworkers Ministry, which is based in Wimauma and provides hunger relief, education, healthcare, and spiritual growth for the farmworker community.
Their food pantry also offers culturally oriented foods for people in need.
The Lightning Foundation gave Teresita a $50,000 grant to ensure their philanthropic work continues.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
