The Jacksonville City Council is still reeling from the aftershocks of the 4-2 vote to dismiss former City Manager Kristoff Bauer and revelation that Council-member Reva Sullivan may have been attempting to contact him inappropriately.
Bauer wrote a letter to the editor of the Jacksonville Daily News declaring his intent to waive any right to [...]
