PLANT CITY – The people’s business is important, but football is football, particularly when the Florida Gators are playing for a national championship.City fathers have moved their Jan. 8 meeting back an hour to 6:30 p.m. so everyone can clear City Hall in time for the kickoff at 8.

“We have our priorities,” Commissioner Rick Lott said.

This is the first time in memory the commissioners have moved their meeting to accommodate a football game.
