Scientology takes it out on downtown Clearwater businesses

"Mayor George Cretekos said he is not aware of any city official asking church leaders to discontinue uniforms but said the impact the Sea Org's visual presence has on downtown's vibe has been discussed over the years.
Cretekos said visitors who are not familiar with the religious garb 'think it is a military presence' in Clearwater. He said it would be unfortunate if the church has instructed parishioners to avoid downtown to make a statement to city officials.
'This is not a good way of building bridges,' Cretekos said."
So Scientology is still very angry about not getting the piece of land they desperately needed for a swimming pool. They'll probably be lashing out at the city for a while to come.
