Lakeland Board of Commissioner priorities: A Lakeland Senior Citizen, make them wait!

The following e-mail was sent by a Lakeland Senior Citizen after the Lakeland BOC meeting on Thursday, May 1.  While discussing "selling Lakeland" to developers, and other matters, they made 16 Senior Citizens wait.  

I felt embarrassed, insulted, disrespected, when they moved us to the bottom of the agenda, leaving 36 elderly seniors sitting in there listing to crap for almost 3 hours before they even heard us.  The room was full, and we had crippled, aging, a 86 yr. old woman from Bartlett... and the 2 professional speakers.  I think we have their attention, except for Wyatt.... He doesn't want a Senior Center, and wants to turn it into a community center by 2018, when the government stipulations are lifted.  Until then, he does not want to support an age group, as seniors... We should all be able to use all facilities.  He thinks we can come to the parks, and hit golf balls like him... He even said that... He's totally ignorant of our disabilities.  
      I guess that means we should all take up T-Ball.
