| 'Make me famous'
Maybe it was around the time Richard Hatch ran around naked on an island and made it on Letterman.

"You have to take into consideration the other part of that," said Commissioner Diane Rowden, "Not just the money that they're offering." The County Commission appeared poised last year to turn the 11-acre complex on Ponce de Leon Boulevard into a new government center.
