Ellis who initially supported Lober has been a very strong critic of him since being elected. His office is currently suing the County Commission over their decision to “bust the cap” raising property taxes to fund what the Sheriff described as critical needs in his budget.
Commissioner Lober lobbied hard for the increase despite pushback from citizens and former elected officials from both sides of the aisle. Several members of The Space Coast Patriots and other conservatives were very outspoken in opposition of the issue. It was passed by a supermajority vote (as required) by a vote of 4-1 with District 3 Commissioner John Tobia (Republican) voting against it.
