COUNCIL IS GETTING SUED

OMG guys. So the council apparently were all in kahootz with each other and unanimously agreed to fire this cop before the issue was even bought to them at a meeting. Mark weeks wanted some person named Krika fired and talked to city councilman about it before-hand. This violated sunshine state laws that basically say councilman can't be talking to each-other about issues bought to them outside of meetings for corruption reasons.
The North West Florida daily reports on it here: http://m.nwfdailynews.com/Section/259/Article/1%7C465647
According to them this could lead to proof of widespread corruption across the county. According to Kirka Mark wanted Kirka fired because he was going to expose some suspicious city activity to the FBI.
Councilman Wright commented that the law prohibiting councilman from being in kahootz before issues are brought to them is basically straight out of Stalin's communist Russia and is violating free speech or something. This is some serious small town stuff here.
I have to admit that it seems a bit messed up on the side of the city council to blatantly disregard a state law we all know exists even though it might be a dumb law.
Now the city council is dodging the bullet and making the Florida league of cities deal with the suit

To be honest I kinda wish he elections would've gone different because our city council is not very diverse and most of them seem to have the same opinions, but hey I'm 15 what do I know? Also btw to all you city politicians I haven't been  at city hall as often lately because my mom is starting her own massage business and she needs me to watch my sister while she does that alot of the time. 
Also I'm broke and need a job so if anybody has anything on that email me at: dudetheiguana@gmail.com

CITY ELECTIONS

THE ELECTIONS ARE COMING, THE ELECTIONS ARE COMING! The city elections for 3 council positions and city marshal. Honestly, in my opinion I think that Rebecca should get at least one of them, because not to be mean or anything, the other people I interviewed gave me really generic broad answers but she went really in detail and gave me the least generic. You can get the link to the interview HERE: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2m96lg It really seems though that Councilman Kelly is going to win given polls I did at the high school.One man I interviewed stated "That Ron guy sounds like the type of guy that likes huntin ' and will let us keep our guns and I like respect that" Also, again not trying to be mean, but these guys really don't know what appeals to younger people these days. What we really want is some kind of art and culture scene, more places like the downtown, coffee and job prospects in the technology field. That's why there's so many millennial's in San Fran, just saying. Like it's great that we have a tacobell on a giant highway connecting other fast food joints and chain stores but what we want is some urbanity, we don't care about owning as many acres as possible like older people we kinda want to be closer together. I mean if the best we could do is more chain stores, subdivisions and collector roads NOWAL  then us young people are all just going to have to move. I spent like 3 hours downtown today just because I liked the atmosphere. Speaking of which anybody that didn't say they wanted the city hall downtown by the old piggly wiggly, I wouldn't vote for them.Anyways that's my shbeal, vote for Rebecca, more places like the downtown; lets go Defuniak

Bike and Walk Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5

(ultimate goal pictured above)

Britanny and I exited my moms large durango and walked up the steps of city hall. Steffon was waiting inside. He had for some reason showed up half an hour earlier. I noticed he still hadn't shaved his hitler stache, to which I assured him it DID NOT look cool and he claimed he needed them for allergy reasons. I shouldn't be the one to judge given I wear fake giant nerd glasses, but whatever. The three of us entered the council chambers, which for some reason smelled like butt that day. Seriously. We turned on the fans and everything but it did not help. Allen and Clay showed up not soon after. We briefly had a discussion about pointless fundraising ideas that may or may not be implemented . I say it's pointless because the sidewalk alone would cost $279,000 and we more than likely will need a grant. A TED talk I've seen 4 times over appeared on the projector to train the new recruits.  Neither Councilman Carpenter or Shaynee betts arrived so basically nothing official that could actually help ended up happening, but at least we got new recruits.
