A familiar face at city hall
Terry Coney, a self-described “son of Lakeland,” has lived a lifetime of service. Now, at 73, he's entering electoral politics for the first time.
I'm a son of Lakeland. I love Lakeland, he said.
Coney is running for a Lakeland City Commission seat, District B Northeast.
As of Aug. 7, Don Burns is the only other candidate for the post in the Nov. 4 city election.
Coney says city government is the purest form of representative democracy. “You're right at ground level with the people. … They can come to a city commission meeting any day.”
