MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. — The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) confirmed Wednesday deputies worked on two separate water rescues in Madeira Beach.
The first was a 10-year-old child who was swept out, brought to shore, and sustained minor injuries, according to officials.
PCSO said the second was a 64-year-old man who fell off a jet ski and was unable to get back on. He was brought to shore by good Samaritans. He was later pronounced dead after transport to the hospital, according to PCSO.
Officials said both incidents happened near the 13000 block of Gulf Boulevard.
This is an ongoing investigation.
“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.
