Conversations heard about town.
Consolidation: People are wondering where are the top community leaders. Why aren’t any of them on the Consolidation Commission? The Constitutional officers are appointing their top people, but the rest appear to be the “B” team.
Charter: ECUA board member Lois Benson is upset that the City charter draft eliminates the at-large council positions. There is still a public hearing before the document goes to the council, so changes can still be made.
Florida House: State Rep. Clay Ford is telling supporters his chances for becoming Speaker of the House have been ruined by the Ray Sansom debacle.
Hall-Valentino Sunshine violation: State attorney has been questioning people. Valentino now has an attorney.
CMP: People want to know when is the site work going to begin? What has happened with the Contractor’s Academy?
Gangs: Guns are more prevalent. We got reports that gunshots were heard outside of the Fricker Community Center.
