It’s not like him not to, even at 7 a.m., but he probably wanted his story to play for a while before FlaglerLive’s version mucked it up. As I surely intend to. I’m sure I speak for a good deal of the community when I ask: what the fuck, Brian?

It should now be noted that Alfin has pulled out of the interview. The reasoning provided by the city of Palm Coast is that a letter from the Green Lion’s attorney has caused the need to review the situation, making Friday’s scheduled interview date untenable.
