In a joint meeting with County Commissioners, the legislative delegation said that if the County had approved its "sector plan", it wouldn't be faced with another potential fight against an "agricultural enclave bill" that had been vetoed by Governor Bush the previous year because the bill would encourage urban sprawl and take growth control from local governments. The controversial "sector plan", a detailed proposal to manage growth in west-central Palm Beach County, has been under discussion for years.
