Jean Siebenaler moved to Florida following her retirement to bask in the warmth of the Sunshine State.
"I finally thought I'd be sitting on the water with an umbrella drink in my hand," she said.
The Milton resident, a military veteran and retired physician, now says she wonders if Florida was where she needed to relocate after all. Having been politically active in her home state of Ohio, she finds beach time consumed by "steaming and stewing" over the state of the state and local politics.
"It's very upsetting, the direction we see Florida heading," she said. "Every day I wonder why I am living here."
