If you think naming a building after a former CORRUPT official is odious, do some research on the serial fraudster FSU named their indoor football practice facility after: “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap

Naming the City Sewage Treatment Plant after Marks would be an insult to the treatment plant.
I, too, agree with Senator Rubio, and that doesn’t occur often. All pro-HAMAS, America-despising individuals should be deported immediately. Their inhumanity and barbarism are a threat to our military and to our nation and to our way of life. They avow being our sworn enemy. Anyone in league with them should be considered as the same. Americans in league should be treated as traitors and either aggressively prosecuted as such or deported. Enough!
The fact that our dedicated and courageous firefighters have to plead for living wages is an abomination, especially when leaders appear to have no problem whatsoever in throwing huge amounts of money at university sports and entertainers.
See who shows up for you if your home or car or business goes up in flames.
SHAME on every single individual voting against these valiant public servants in these negotiations.
@ Jack Quillman = The section of S, Adams in front of City Hall between College & Jefferson should be renamed Dr. Erwin Jackson Way.
To Wild West:
Naming the City’s Sewer Treatment Plant after Marks a … grand idea ! Glad some of us still remember Marks – The City’s original “SWAMP” Rat. Do you think the concerned local, that exposed Marks for one of his scams will ever get recognition ?
Just for fun…what about naming the next major City/County road project:
” The E. Jackson’s Way “
I’m with you Sen. Marco Rubio. Deport EVERYONE Protesting in support of Hamas to GAZA so they can Protest where the action is. I am pretty sure Hamas will welcome them with open Arms.
Trump maybe just 3.5 Years younger than Biden but, Trumps Mental State is MANY YEARS younger than Biden’s. NO ONE is scared of Biden, Every Axis Country is Scared of Trump, think about that.
They should name the sewage treatment station by the airport after Marks. It smells just like him…
