OUR OPINION Back off on Olustee, Rep. Baxley

he vast majority of those in attendance at the recent town hall meeting on a proposed Union monument and its location at the Olustee battlefield weren’t from anywhere around here. TMany were from Central Florida with at least one from as far away as North Carolina. While we would prefer more local input on this important matter, it’s a free country, and folks from across the land have the right to express their views, especially on something so momentous as the Civil War and how it’s commemorated, here or elsewhere, on public lands. But when state Rep. Dennis Baxley of Ocala joined the fray, showing up out of the blue and tell- ing folks he wanted to change the rules so that he and fellow lawmakers could have a say on the issue, we had to wonder what was up. Baxley says the proposed Union monument is of concern to him due to his Southern heritage and because it is a state park, after all, however distant from his home down in Marion County. There may be a little more to it than that. Baxley recently announced he’s setting up a run Voting study biased for state Sen.

SUWANNEE COUNTRY CLUB FLORIDA BRIEFS Marijuana legalization effort draws $425K The group backing a proposed constitutional amend- ment to legalize medical marijuana raised $425,896 in November, with most of the money coming from Orlando attorney John Morgan’s firm, according to new reports on the state Division of Elections website. The Morgan Firm PA contributed $403,000 of the total raised last month by People United for Medical Marijuana. In all, the group has raised about $1.3 million as it seeks to collect enough petition signatures to get the legalization measure on the November 2014 election ballot. The group, which is led by Morgan, needs 683,149 signatures and had submitted 146,283 verified signatures to the state as of Wednesday afternoon, the Division of Elections website said. Supporters also are awaiting a ruling by the Florida Supreme Court about the proposed ballot wording. Attorney General Pam Bondi and legislative leaders are trying to block the measure because they say the ballot wording is flawed.
