It goes to toward the almost $30,000 Mike Blake has obtained for his campaign which consists of mostly money contributed by brokers, developers, contractors, builders, and attorneys.

Just look at Commissioner Blake's strong-armed threatening tactics to fill the borrow pits for high density development.

Anyone want to take odds on the fact it'll probably be a commissioner representing a district within Tuscawilla, or Miller's monthly absence. ( UPDATE: Tuscawilla' s commissioner Blake was the absent commissioner --- he's running for another office.) City Manager is to suggest they hire ANOTHER consultant to review the proposal.

Chairing the committee is Michael Blake, whose "special interest/developers " laden campaign fund (he was running for County commissioner -- soundly defeated) along with his former commissioner buddies --- Gennell, McLeod, and Martinez (other defeated politicians).

Special note: McLeod never faced an opponent, and while seated as a commissioner gained a $2.4 million dollar income on property in "Towncenter zoning" while voting for this "special zoning", and other amenities for the slumbering "Tiny Town.That wasn't the only project of which he is a part owner.All four of the above are expected to run again to reap the financial gain as politicians they voted in for themselves while in office.Blake for mayor, and possibly McLeod for, once again, personal income gain through the manipulating of property development within the city.
...
In fact, due to the over-handed guidance of chairman Blake in the scheduling of the committee's meetings (must be for his personal convenience) one member asking a lot of pointed questions about city finances finally resigned.

Commissioner Michael S. Blake

PLEASE -- somebody take it ! It was an evening of citizen bashing by commissioner Blake along with threats, and finally the BIG BRIBE !

Upon Commissioner Michael Blake's suggestion, the Commission agreed to accept $10,000 from the owner to be paid from January 2003 to June 2004.

Finally, if Morrison Homes decides it isn't up for developing Los Lagos, you can be sure that Keewin Real Property Company would be more than happy to oblige especially when it knows it has Mayor John Bush (now known as Dr. John) and Commissioners Michael Blake, Sally McGinnis, and Robert S. Miller in its pockets.

Commissioner Gennell says "we can work around it" ---- Commissioner Blake says "does the tree have pine bores?".
