Victory, part 2.

It looks like there are just a few forms we have to fill out in order to get our permit, as soon as tuesday, says my friend over at ABC-7.

If you didn't catch the story, read it here.

Maybe they'll post a video sometime tonight of the story that ran, which was really great.

Stephanie Tsoflias:

We confronted Al Abdo, acting city manager, on Friday night about the project. He said Filkowski now has the green light to start chalking again.

"We certainly support what he's doing and encourage him to continue," said Abdo. "We admire and commend him. He's a model for all young people."

Filkowski heard the news for the first time on Friday night.

"That's good news, really good news," said Filkowski.

But Filkowski says he still plans to meet with the Fort Myers City Council on Monday.

City leaders say all the teen needs to do is fill out some paperwork and he can start chalking again. That could be as early as Tuesday.



This is great..
I'll look for the phone numbers I need, and get on it tomorrow morning, if the appropriate offices are open!
Thanks, everyone,
I'll let you know as soon as I have any more information!
