LAKE CITY, FL – As 2021 fades into the
sunset, the number one story in Columbia County
was its County Seat – Lake City. While most
folks may have never heard of Columbia
County, everyone recognizes Lake City as
one of the most recoginzed geographical
locations in the state.

alternately read questions to four city

LAKE CITY, FL –
The devolvement of the City Council
continued Monday night. During its
regular meeting, when criticized for not
coming up with questions for its
headhunter-picked City Manager
candidates, the Council sat as if struck
by lightning.

LAKE
CITY, FL – Drama continues in Lake City
tonight, this time with the continuing
saga of finding a City Manager. Five
months ago, in July of this year, the
City Council began looking for a new

Helfenberger. Tonight the four members
of the City Council will be looking at
thirty-six candidates.

LAKE CITY, FL –
The saga of Befaithful Coker to be
seated on Lake City's City Council was
further delayed on Monday. City Attorney
Fred Koberlein, Jr., failed to reply in
the twenty days allotted to a court
order explaining why Ms. Coker should
not be seated.

LAKE CITY, FL – Lake City's City Council digs
in, jettisons City Charter and Florida statutes,
and heads off to court to keep City Council
member Befaithful Coker from taking the City
Council seat to which it appointed her. That
Lake City continues to be a standing joke in
Florida is inconsequential to the four members
left on the City Council and the City Attorney,
its legal counsel.

LAKE CITY, FL – A twelfth-hour request on

LAKE CITY, FL – The two-month saga of the
Lake City City Council to fill its vacated seat
continued on Monday evening. Once again, the
Court got involved as Lake City’s City
Attorney-Parliamentarian and candidate for
Circuit Court judge, Fred Koberlein, Jr., guided
the City through the process.

November 8, 2021 01:15 pm
LAKE CITY, FL – In the civilized world,
filling a vacated city council seat should be a
simple matter. There would be a written
procedure, and the municipality’s elected
governing body would follow it. In Lake City,
Florida, the governing body is the City Council.
There is no procedure, unless one counts “flying
by the seat of your pants.”

November 3, 2021 09:33 am
LAKE CITY, FL – Befaithful Coker met all the
requirements to fill the vacated City Council
seat of Chris Greene: she filed a council
approved application; she stood before the
Council and answered "all' the councilmen’s
questions; by majority vote, the Council voted
to appoint her to the seat; and she filed her
sworn Oath of Office with the City Clerk. In the
civilized world, that would have been enough. In
Lake City: nope.

October 28, 2021 07:40 am
LAKE CITY, FL – On Tuesday evening, October
26, Befaithful Coker demonstrated that
stick-to-itiveness pays dividends as she became
only the second woman Lake City Council member
of the 21st century. It was a cliffhanger until
the very end. Ms. Coker proved both the local
mainstream media and her critics wrong when Lake
City's remaining four Council members voted 3-1
to have her fill the seat suddenly vacated by
Chris Greene on September 9.

LAKE CITY, FL – Tonight at 6 pm, the Lake

LAKE CITY, FL – Monday afternoon, October 18,

doing a secret tally of the ballots of the
Council members and illegally voting to award
the vacated seat to Stephen A. Douglas.

LAKE CITY, FL – Last night, the Lake City,
City Council left residents shaking their heads
in disbelief as it hemmed and hawed its decision
to fill the Council’s vacated seat. After almost
no debate, the Council gave up the issue and
resorted to a secret ballot as City Attorney and
the Council’s de facto parliamentarian, Fred
Koberlein, the wannabe circuit court judge,
stood by and let the secret ballot happen.

LAKE CITY, FL – The City Council’s
devolvement into confusion continued late
yesterday afternoon at its delayed 12th-hour
so-called budget workshop. One item settled was
that all City workers would get brought up the
$15 hr minimum wage ahead of the state-mandated
schedule. However, Councilman Greene was unclear
on what he wanted to do about the minimum wage
for school crossing guards and a few other low-wage
workers.

LAKE CITY, FL – At 4 pm today, Lake City's
delayed $60,000,000 budget hearing is on the
docket. As at the last meeting, there is no
space for public comment. With state-mandated
deadlines approaching fast and the triumvirate
of Mayor Witt, Councilmen Greene, and Jefferson
more interested in obstruction than getting
something done, anything is possible.

squandering over $10k due to delays
during the removal of City Manager Helfenberger,
three members of the City Council want to spend
another $10k plus on a head hunter to run an
