“Mr. Mullins has called us all cowards. And he’s also insinuating they we’re misappropriating the fireworks money that we never got. And he knows better. He’s just lying to agitate people I guess, I don’t really know. I’ve invited him numerous times to come to a commission meeting and explain himself, but at the end I believe he’s the true coward. Let’s leave it at that.”
–Flagler Beach City Commissioner Rick Belhumeur at a June 11, 2021 commission meeting.
