Residents from North Hill stood outside The Fish House on the corner of Barracks and Main streets to protest the relocation of a state parole and probation office to North Palafox Street.
The signs asked Gov. Rick Scott and Mayor Ashton Hayward to “Protect Our Families.” Inside Councilman Brian Spencer took a few minutes to talk with the governor about the issue. The facility is actually in Councilwoman Jewel Cannada-Wynn’s district. Mayor Hayward had a name tag on the table, but apparently didn’t show.
