Franklin Delano Simmons, Glades County Commissioner Franklin Simmons has been arrested by FDLE special agents on 7 charges after allegedly operating as a contractor without a license in Glades county.
It is very sad that a man with the reputation of Mr. Simmons find himself breaking the very rules that he approved. I wonder if he would have been caught if he wasn't the County Commissioner?
If Mr. Simmons Company was doing something wrong why wasn't he just advised and given the opportunity to comply. Was this just a campaign year excuse to take him off the County Commission?
