What’s What New Port Richey
Here’s a special section to keep you informed about the activities of Pasco County Commissioners, who serve as the legislative and policy-making body in one of Florida’s fastest-growing counties.
These are your elected officials, who serve staggered four-year terms. You may want to keep up with their activities, attend a meeting, or review the agenda to see if there is something you, as a constituent, would like to weigh in on.
Readers are encouraged to check out the Pasco County Commission website on their own at www.pascocountyfl.net/County-Commissioners to find info on who represents your district, their contact info, and more useful information for the members of the Pasco County community.
