- TOWNSEND: Discussing a bill calling for term limits for school board members in Florida counties, state Rep. Melony Bell seemed to be talking about Billy Townsend when she said there’s a Polk School Board member “that most likely needs to be removed” from office for being disruptive “and the governor has not removed him.” When questioned by a Ledger reporter, she said she never mentioned Townsend by name and she supports term limits in general | YOUTUBE: Bell’s comments
