What ever you call it, term or turn, Brooksville's Vice Mayor got overlooked last night at the city council meeting. Councilman Richard Lewis nominated Frankie Burnett for the position of Mayor. Joe Bernardini then indicated he wanted to retain David Pugh as mayor. Instead of voting on Frankie Burnett's nomination first, as directed by Robert's Rule of Procedural Order, the city council voted 3-2 with Mr. Bernardini's suggestion of retaining Mr. Pugh for another year. Council members Bradburn, Pugh and Bernadini voted in favor while Mr. Burnett and Mr. Lewis voted nay.
Even though the position of mayor in the city of Brooksville is largely ceremonial in nature, it is seen as a privilege to serve the community in the highest capacity of an elected official. Frankie Burnett deserved the opportunity to serve the city as mayor this year and was blind-sided by these three council members...

It’s always been said that the City of Brooksville is one of the raciest city in the state of Florida. I feel bad for any Black Person living there. But one Day this mentality will blow back in the faces of those in that good old boy net work. I was sicken by the comments of the mayor David Pugh when he responded to a citizens comment that black have some voting power in the city. The mayor stated I don’t think that’s true you are mistaken those people don’t have that type of power. It’s a sad day for the hole state of FL, It’s always been said that the City of Brooksville is one of the raciest city in the state of Florida. I feel bad for any Black Person living there.
