All we tried to tell the city was that if they were going to charge the citizens for mandatory trash, they need to clean up their own mess.

(The tenants) trash that place every week and you'll get a write-up from the city every week. It is out of my scope to control what people do.

The ref didn't see it. I tried to take the charge, but I didn't get the call. Then the ball bounced off my foot, but I guess the ref either didn't see it or didn't want to see it. It was good either way.

From 1990 to 2005, we added 4,500 citizens in Haines City, and of that, about 4,000 or more were Hispanics.

We need to remind citizens that rabies is always present, especially in raccoons. Raccoons know when it is trash night in every neighborhood. They adapt to the environment. They have become real adept at looking for food, including foraging for pet food. That's where attacks can happen.

This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.
