White said the whole ordeal is, "as much about differences between me and town

attorney Brad Bettin." White placed an item on a special meeting agenda that was to call

for the termination of the attorney. Because of a technicality the item did not come up for

discussion. White made reference to addressing employees. Bettin is a contractor for Inglis

and not an employee. White has been critical of high attorney fees and said, "I am only try-

ing to save taxpayer dollars, and now I am suspended."

The Newscaster reported last week that after several months attorney Bettin noti-

fied the governor s office of the charges. Mayor Glenda Kirkland said it was because of an

anonymous complaint from a Levy County official. (See mayor s comments on page 11.)

White had a chance to plead "no contest" but turned it down and will go to trial.

There's no word on when that will be. White said, "I can't attend town meetings as a com-

missioner, but I will be there as a citizen."
