We knew what he was implying! Neither was Saga! Saga learned a hard work ethic from her parents. She is an accomplished business leader because of her upbringing. Lakeland has her hand in Saga&#8217;s life through her education at Kathleen High School. Saga lived in Minneapolis but came to Lakeland to visit her family frequently. She never lost touch with Lakeland. When Minneapolis went up in flames thanks to BLM, she saw the signs in Lakeland and knows that Lakeland has a target on its back! Last night, BLM endorsed city candidate Allyson Lewis, spoke after Saga, and said that Lakeland does not have a target on its back. Well, Allyson, WE THE PEOPLE DISAGREE!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Snoyv40FQ5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/17\/did-mayor-mutz-endorse-a-black-lives-matter-candidate\/\">Did Mayor Mutz endorse a Black Lives Matter Candidate?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Did Mayor Mutz endorse a Black Lives Matter Candidate?&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/17\/did-mayor-mutz-endorse-a-black-lives-matter-candidate\/embed\/#?secret=Snoyv40FQ5\" data-secret=\"Snoyv40FQ5\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"w957DQxsJh\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/16\/black-lives-matter-has-endorsed-two-of-the-lakeland-commission-candidates\/\">Black Lives Matter Has Endorsed two of the Lakeland Commission Candidates<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Black Lives Matter Has Endorsed two of the Lakeland Commission Candidates&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/16\/black-lives-matter-has-endorsed-two-of-the-lakeland-commission-candidates\/embed\/#?secret=w957DQxsJh\" data-secret=\"w957DQxsJh\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"LFnjCxO6h7\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/29\/why-is-black-lives-matter-becoming-a-stakeholder-with-the-city-of-lakeland\/\">Why is Black Lives Matter Becoming a Stakeholder with the City of Lakeland?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Why is Black Lives Matter Becoming a Stakeholder with the City of Lakeland?&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/2021\/09\/29\/why-is-black-lives-matter-becoming-a-stakeholder-with-the-city-of-lakeland\/embed\/#?secret=LFnjCxO6h7\" data-secret=\"LFnjCxO6h7\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is BLM A SHAREHOLDER IN LAKELAND???

This is absolutely DISRESPECTFUL to the Chief and officers! Saga listened to the officers. The Sheriff&#8217;s Department said that Lakeland is headed down a Marxist road in LESS THAN 5 YEARS with the current administration in City Hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wake up Lakeland!
