And that if we vote "right" our taxes will be lower. Such a blatantly political comment was unexpected, especially from someone who had just complained that the government was not spending enough tax money on keeping HIM comfortable.
They said that they might be moving to a new building near where the Pinellas Park library is. This was in 2014. May 19 or so. I guess this still has not happened.

I remember the groaning coffee pot that sounded like a pooch missing its owners. This was the Sumter County Court in Bushnell.

Was this in Ocala? Home - State of Florida Fifth Judicial Circuit
