John's Island requires U.S. driver's license or I.D. to work on property (John's Island Property Owners' Assoc.) INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FL -- John's Island, a luxurious waterfront community of more than 1300 properties, is taking its "exclusive" reputation to a new level.
Starting February 1st, the John's Island Property Owners' Association launched a new policy requiring anyone who wants to trim hedges, clean houses, or do any kind of business in the neighborhood to "have a valid U.S. Driver's License or ID card."
Workers are now asked to show proof of I.D. at the front gate to the development. They're given a copy of the new policy, written in both English and Spanish, which reads: "If you have an employee that is an illegal alien DO NOT send them to John's Island."
The policy goes on to state that anyone without a U.S. license or I.D. will be "turned away."
woohoo ! my neck of the woods, though I dont live at Johns Island.
