Are you guys kidding! All heck broke loose on this whole Lakeland deal yesterday! State senator Alexander is trying to appropriate (steal from USF) the whole shooting match in Lakeland and make the set up completely independent from USF. The thieve politicians are trying to screw USF bigtime. USF needs to fight this crappy proposal tooth and nail to keep USF Poly in the USF System.

The attempt to steal USF Poly from USF is criminal.
