Paul Bybee For Pasco County Commissioner

Meet Paul

Paul has lived in West Pasco since he was 2 weeks old, more specifically in District 4. The exception was when he attended USF for Urban Planning and Architecture. Even as a child he was a student of building and design. When not playing soccer he was drawing layouts of cities in crayon and marker underneath his Moms tables and his bed. Playing the game Sim City while others played Mario. While formulating design projects at USF his focus and inspirations were priamrily related to our enviroment and Pasco County. Designing mixed use community centers within county parks and even renvisioning a modern over the water stilt home as a major project. Paying homage to the heritage of the area thet he grew up fishing almost daily. However due to DEI related disparities and the competive nature of the program after 2 1/2 years of study he decided to leave the program. Another fascionation of Social Research changed his academic path and he then decided to earn a degree Sociology. He has conducted advanced research and written papers on Recidivism Rates Amongst Florida County Jails, Birth Defect Rates of Migrant Farmworkers Children in Central and South Florida, as well as Mercury Levels of Recreationaly Caught Fish in The Great Lakes.

With playing over 25 seasons of soccer it was hard to turn off which brought him to coaching in several capacities.

Vision

Over the years we have seen many changes, good and the bad. The population of our county has increased by 30% in nearly a decade. Yet our roadways look the same. As a soccer coach he tell athletes to be proactive and not reactive. Be on your front foot always. Long term infrastructure policies are the common sense, proactive solutions we need. It would be naive to think that our population isnt going to keep drastically increasing. As a community we should think about what our landscape will look like in 20-30 years. We are the third fastest growing county in the entire country. Why is that? Have we created such a target rich enviroment for developers? Are we selling ourselves short? In business when you have a unique product you can demand a premium. Why are we the 3rd fastest growing county in the entire country? Even our water is in such high demand. Pinellas and some of Hillsborough rely heavily on our clean water.

Pasco has a rich and unique history. We can maintain that. Pasco also has a rich and unique environment. We can protect that. Common sense policies regarding development and redevelopment can help us maintain our community identity and safekeep our agricultural and green spaces. The socioeconomic landscape will also be constantly changing. There is already a huge disparity in District 4. We cannot let progress be a detriment to many of our neighbors who feel forgotten or not heard. Common sense, proactive and responsible policies are what we need. Just because I'm a candidate doesnt mean I'm a politician. Politicians tend to forget who they work for. I'm just a Pasco man who wants the best for all of us and our land. Thank you for your support. DONATE or VOLUNTEER

Platform

  • Regulated growth through building and zoning reform. Increasing setbacks, buffer zones and lot size requirments vs square footage in comercial and residential projects are overdue. In the event of an emergency an EMS vehicle, whether it is a K9 Unit or an ambulance need to be able to access between properties. We are building houses and business on top of each other.
  • Public Safety is at jeopardy due to the rapid growth. Not only is our infrastructure lacking due to our rapid expansion but our Sheriffs Department desperatley needs the funding to grow the force and attain new technologies. Our Fire and EMS services need rapid expansion as well as the social services departments related.
  • Stormwater management overhaul from Green Key to the Green Swamp is decades overdue. Outdated policies and procedures put many at risk of flooding.
  • Infill development over new development to revitalize areas rather than letting them turn to blight.
  • Reform building regualtions and the building departments functionality. Including a move to virtual permit inspections to streamline operations and meet demand in a timely manner. Setbacks, lot sizes requirements, buffers, and storm water management for both residential and comercial construction need to be adressed. Wildlife buffers contribute to more water retntion than we give them credit. One mature tree can retain nearly 30% of rainfall above ground alone. Developers clear the land and replant trees and grass because it is cheaper and require alot of water.
  • Permanet tax relief by cutting waste and incresing revenue streams.

    In todays political world there are organizations that serve as fixers who fund their canditdate. These large commitees tip the balance making it impossible for outside efforts to oppose their chosen candidate. This makes you wonder if the candidate is truly serving all citizens without bias. Politics don't have a place in public safety, infrastucture, taxes or emergencies.

    While advertising across all forms of media is important, at the end of the day "word of mouth" is what will make the difference come election time.
