Another FP&L disgrace. Could it be that Carroll’s pollsters have seen a poor showing for Tracy Carroll’s re-election bid. Dumping another $ 14,000. may buy a few more votes, but anyone who knows her and her terrible public record will not vote for her unless they want weekly /daily rentals or want to give away the dog park.
Ultimately it is the rate payers who will fund this waste of money.
