IT'S NOT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, IT'S THE EAGLE LAKE CITY COUNCIL!

Eagle Lake is a small town just south of Winter Haven, a speck along U.S. 17 on the way to Bartow. But recently it has become like, as one resident told the Winter Haven News Chief, "living in a dysfunctional Mayberry."

Eagle Lake's City Council seems to have it's own little soap opera going on, where council members and former officials simply don't get along and resort to all sorts of name calling. It's Vice Mayor is now calling for a rule prohibiting spitting at/on council members after he says former City Manager Linda Weldon did the deed following a council meeting earlier this month.

The alleged incident, which Weldon strongly denies, occured after a disagreement over a "For Sale" sign posted on property owned by a local businessman and a legal situation between council member Suzy Wilson and one of her former collegue Peg Critendon. Critendon has also filed a total of seven ethics complaints against former and current city officials.

Sounds like they're acting like junior high students. All I've got to say is...GROW UP!
