In Dunnellon, friction seems to be growing as residents continue to question the behavior of some council members.

After a rail tie fire in early February prompted an initial emergency response from the city, some members of the community now feel that the issue is being overshadowed by the exchanges between the city council members and those in the community.

Some are even calling for a council member to resign.
