CLEARWATER - Our readers have spoken and your votes have been tallied. Last week, a plurality of 32-percent voted to eliminate the Downtown Parking Garage, valued at $6.25-million, from Clearwater's Penny III project list. The only other project to receive a high percentage of the vote was the Royalty Theater purchase, with 24-percent.
