NORTH PORT â Locals should decide North Portâs septic-to-sewer future, not politicians, according to Dan Beilman, a lead opponent to such conversion plans.
The retired North Port resident and others push hard on that message everywhere they can: in public forums, on social media, a small army collecting voter signatures at City Hall, at pop-up sites around town.
The goal is getting the conversion question in front of voters. And while North Port rules state commissioners decide financial questions with ordinances, that final decision is yet to be determined, Beilman insisted.
âItâs all about money,â he said of septic conversions.
