He said <br />FDOT is taking advantage of municipalities who don't file an objection and rather than <br />throw the money back to them, he will vote to accept it under protest, we are not getting a <br />fair amount of money for what we are undertaking or for what they even expected us to do <br />with our money. <br /> <br />Commissioner Iglesias said he would have to refrain. He said FDOT is not in the grass <br />cutting business. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Thaler moved a motion to approve the resolution.
