What's up with this? Anyone live in St. Augustine? Looks like the mayor doesn't like people telling him he can't tear down a 400 year old building.

Last week, I wrote about how St. Augustine officials were upbeat a deal could be reached <http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/2010/06/st-augustine-upbeat-on-deal -despite-uf-opposition/> over UF's control of the city's historic properties. But now a war of words has broken out between city residents and Rep. Bill Proctor, the St. Augustine Republican who sponsored the legislation putting UF in control. "Proctor was elected by the people of this district, not by the people of Gainesville," former St. Augustine Mayor Mark Alexander told the St. Augustine Record in a story that ran Sunday <http://beta.staugustine.com/news/local-news/2010-06-20/city-save-downtown-s peak-out> . Alexander, owner of White Lion Restaurant and Pub in St. Augustine, said he's started a grassroots campaign opposing UF's takeover. His comments brought a reaction from Proctor in a guest column <http://staugustine.com/opinions/2010-06-22/guest-column-proctor-answers-cri ticism-sunday-story-historic-properties> and story <http://staugustine.com/news/local-news/2010-06-22/proctor-city-asked-law> in today's Record, in which he referenced letters from former St. Augustine Mayor George Gardner and current Mayor Joseph Boles praising his work in passing the legislation. "I did exactly what they asked me to do," he said. UF officials, for their part, have shown no interest in seeking to change the state law. In fact, UF's Board of Trustees passed a measure earlier this month <http://www.gainesville.com/article/20100612/ARTICLES/6121002> creating a direct support organization to manage the properties.

He would even control bowel movements if he could and he surrounds himself with his puppets to do his bidding. Proctor refuted so well every statement that has been said against the proposal. I wish a stromg candidate would run against Boles.how about the eat celery lasdy. by Seagator -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
