TAMPA, Fla. — The March 29 Lightning game was Kids Day, which focused on young Bolts fans.
During the game ABC Action News anchor Deiah Riley was joined by her daughter Ryan to announce the Lightning Community Hero.
Tony DiBenedetto is the founder of Think Big for Kids.
The nonprofit works to break the cycle of poverty by supporting students with career exploration, mentoring, and job programs to help them enter the workforce.
The Lightning Foundation gave Tony a $50,000 grant, which he donated to Think Big to continue their life-altering work.
“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.
