Hillsborough Sheriff David Gee stood before City Council members Thursday clutching a report from the Department of Homeland Security he said detailed all the dangers that could befall his operations center in Ybor City. But he wouldn't tell them what it said. Instead, he asked the council to let him close off 20th Street, which borders the center, from Palm to Eighth avenues. In the end, the council voted 5-1 to let him gate it off........here
Even council member Mary Mulhern, who is opposed to closing off streets, made an exception: "There are so many other areas that have been closed off for less important things. This is a necessary thing to do." The only dissenter was Linda Saul-Sena.
