That person was in the top 3 candidates.. and that person was told clearly from someone on the panel... that "if Dade City wanted to change they would go with that south Florida selection.. but if they wanted a local good old boy".. well you all know that answer..
Not only did the south candidate come with a plan for the future.. he gave the people on the panel his plan for the future.. once again.. I guess the local goods old boy won out !
This is a fact and not just a made up story.. and the one who knows was the person on the panel from the West Coast City ...
