Lake commissioners say no dice to Minneola's gambling referendu...

Lake County commissioners rejected unanimously this morning a request by Minneola Mayor David Yeager to hold a countywide referendum on gambling that could have allowed a horse track and card rooms in the south Lake city.

Maybe Mayor Yeager can bring the 2024 winter olympics to Sugarloaf Mt. How about legalizing prostitution in Minneola? That would generate business. I think this is the same guy that closed the Fire Dept because two queens had a spat. Check yourself mayor.

I can't wait to vote this guy out of office!

[Come on]

"But then, to spend $400,000 for a referendum on it when you're facing an $8 million budget reduction is not something you can seriously consider."

Niagara, anyone? Just saying ...

Mr. Yeager continues to amaze with his "outside the brain" thinking.

Is this the guy that comes from the tractor-trailer sealing family that use to live in Zellwood? If so he has come a long way with his out of the brain stinking.

Sorry, That should have read "tractor-trailer stealing" family that use to live in Zellwood.

I was about to say that this failure will only create a gambling monster that will make this into their life-long mission, but I see that the monster said it for me:

We are asking everyone to turn on their porch light tonight at 8:30 pm to protest Mayor Yeager's plans to bring gambling to our community.

[What A Moron]

Enough Said!... What a freaking moron. When will Minneola get rid of this dumb as*.

[Randall J Moye Jr]

Nice to see that the "chuckle head" is entertaining the rest of Lake County and not just Minneola. If he is going to raise the money own his own for the gambling referendum maybe he should raise the money for the short fall in Minneola's budget.

Lets be for real. I've heard that the Mayor likes to think outside the box. My answer is "There are alot of mental wards for people that think outside the box."

Wang Lou,
Don't forget....Hizzoner says he wants to start a 'grass roots effort'(probably smoking a little too much of it lately) to get his gambling casino and his newest,latest, brilliant idea...(yes folks....time to whip out those dusty old sleds you've had in your garage for years)....Ski Minneola (by way of Dubai) funded,
now that the commission told him and his visions to take a hike this week.
Here's WFTV's news report:

Minneola residents, it's time to start your own 'grass roots' effort....and send him packing in November.
