Kevin Bouffarde from the Lakeland Ledger printed incomplete information in his latest article, which has caused a lot of confusion and numerous phone calls.
His article states,"They will have petitions for signing from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday in Freedom Park at State Road 33 and Berkley Road."
Unfortunately, Mr. Bouffarde neglected to mention the dates, since we will be there next weekend September 11th and 12th, not this weekend.
Here is a link to the article: Residents Talk Termination
Sorry for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused. We have contacted Mr. Bouffarde to let him know of his omission.
I am not a city official but a resident of Polk City who is concerned about making decisions before all the facts are presented to us. Who has told the writers of the comments any guarantee of what we will expect to pay if the city is abolished? Can you invite a Polk County spokesperson to the city council meeting to address their willingness to help and not "sock it to us" for the terrible condition that the previous mayor and city manager got us into? Let's be sure we know what the consequences are before we rush in like fools. I too am concerned about the current costs but the County could do the same to us or worse.
