In the end his core message and passion for fiscal responsibility and planning for the downturn just didnt appeal to the citizens of Gainesville. I hope they are right!

That makes for about $11.25 per vote to defeat it, and $7.50 per vote in the failed attempt to pass it." How much did the Thomas More Legal Center spend? “Equality is Gainesville’s Business spent about $130,000 to bring in the final vote total AGAINST the amendment, and CitizensFor Good Public Policy spent about $63,000.

I am personally acquainted with some of the trans people in that area and I am very happy for them. I hope this victory for equal rights and protections under the law resonates outward to all the other places in our great country that are grappling with this issue and the lies that are being told about it. Good for you, Gainesville! THANK YOU!
