TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.
Leah Wooten was honored as the Lightning Community Hero at the game on December 29.
Wooten has been a volunteer, ambassador, and advisor with Bess the Book Bus. It is a Tampa-based mobile literacy outreach program dedicated to instilling a love of reading in children, caregivers, and educators since 2002.
The Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Hero Program presented by Jabil donated $50,000 to Bess the Book Bus on Wooten’s behalf.
“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.
