COMMISSIONER HIGGINS: THANKS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP

THE FLAGLER CORRIDOR CONSTRUCTION DISASTER
CALLS FOR PRECEDENT-SETTING ACTION

Residents -- especially those with disabilities and businesses, who have gone bankrupt or are on the verge of it -- should be able to sue the contractor for damages.

Something has to be the first test project.

The people responsible should be sued.

Women used to be banned from voting, that changed for the better.

African Americans and other people of color had no civil rights and that was changed via federal legislation.

Big companies used to be allowed to pollute at will, now we have the EPA, Clean Water Act, etc.

The LBGT community was not allowed to adopt or marry, and groundbreaking action changed that – clearly for the better.

Sometimes, things are so bad, only a landmark lawsuit or landmark legislation can shake things up and protect the abused.

This mess can only be cleaned up via a landmark case for protecting the built environment – during construction – for all.
