VENICE, Fla — A woman died after her car plunged into the water in Venice.

According to the Venice Police Department (VPD), the car went into the water at the Circus Bridge around 3:15 p.m. Saturday.

Rescue crews found a woman in her 60s in the vehicle.

One southbound lane of Business 41 was closed while the police investigated the crash.

“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.
