“Based on everything I have heard, people who came into contact with the District 17 board, they have said that the Board, and is, in principle, are rebelling against the consolidation of reply. C’est a very bad way of public service To make political choices, “said state Senator Phil Leventis, D-Sumter, is sponsoring the bill.
