Councilman Daniels wanted this statement noted in the minutes: "Under normal circumstances I wouldn't acknowledge the existence of what I am about to discuss, but with the Holiday Season upon us and the critical state of the economy coupled with the scarcity of jobs, I feel I must speak to this issue. Someone has maliciously spread gross non-truths throughout the City, attributed to me. It has been said that I intend to see our policemen and firemen lose their jobs. Nothing could be further from the truth. The day after the election I stated to Mrs. Campbell of the Seminole Sentinel that I feel we have good city employees. I still believe this. I look to the heads of the Departments to operate their Departments, and to recommend changes to Council as the need occurs. I owe no political patronage debts, and don't intend to see any City employee lose his job because he either supported or didn't support me. I hope that this statement will put this issue to rest once and for all."
