OUR OPINION City needs to listen and move slowly

he City of Lake City will entertain one of its most controversial topics in history Monday night with T a discussion about possibly moving the Olustee monument, a stone obelisk (there is no statue) from the city’s park downtown, changing the name of Olustee Park and eliminating the city’s investment of public funds into the annual Olustee Festival downtown each February. These demands all have landed on the City Council agenda Monday night because activist Sylvester Warren Ocean Pond gives up its treasure contacted the city manager and requested it be placed on the agenda. Local activist Glenel Bowden also has started a petition in town to boost the discussion. He has taken his case to social media and received plenty of feedback Finding Mike Murphy’s ring from those both for and against.
