According to the Florida Sunshine Law, all public meetings of the Mayor are open to the public. A question to ask Mayor Dyer might be, would he prefer a few citizens serving food once a week to some struggling homeless people at Lake Eola, or hundreds of homeless on the front row of every public meeting he attends? He cannot have people arrested for attending City Council meetings, or any other public meeting he is present at. It is the law. Mayor Dyer would be arrested if he tried to remove them. And I am sure there would be some sympathetic souls who would gladly contribute money for the bus to bring the homeless to the City Council meetings, the various board meetings he serves on, and other events the Mayor attends with public officials, as often as necessary.
A great deal of worthwhile data for me!
