I ask citizens to please help us save Lake Auburn. There are a lot of people who do not want housing over the lake to ruin our wonderful lake. Why aren’t these people being heard? When the lake is ruined, where will we be? Who is going to pay for the water purification system? Lynn […]

The tactics employed by Judge Aileen Cannon, who sided the former President Trump and signed an order in September extending the timeline for outside review of documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in August, are a more condescending mindset.
