Well, it's 4:15 on a Friday afternoon, I called my District Councilman, Dick Brown, No answer.

I then called each and everyone of the at-large Councilan, out of all 6 calls, I got 1 answer.

Alison, in Kevin Hyde's office did answer the phone, the rest went to voice mail.

I called to go on record that I was very displeased with the way they "gutted" bills 2011-167,2011-197.

These were the ethics bills that Carla Miller worked so hard to get passed, what the council has done is completely reversed the original intent of these bills, and that was to take the politics out of the selection process for the Board of Ethics, and the appointment of it's director.

I also complained about the Ever Bank deal, $2.7 million to move their office downtown. These banks have more money that GOD, they don't need my money.

Ever Bank has plenty of money to secure the naming rights for the Jaguar stadium.

Most of these councilman are "lame ducks" so they have no interest in pleasing the voters.

It's enough to drive a man to drink, come to thik of it, it has to be 5:00 o'clock somewhere, let's have a cold one.
