TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.
Earl Horton was named the Lightning Community Hero at the game on January 28.
Horton joined Cove Behavioral Health’s Board of Trustees in 2013. And since then, he’s helped grow the nonprofit’s visibility and reach over the years.
The Lightning Foundation awarded Horton a $50,000 grant, which he is giving to Cove’s Community Housing Center, which gives homeless adults a safe and secure environment.
“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.
