It wasn’t a Publishers Clearing House moment, where an unsuspecting homeowner gets surprised with an oversized check, balloons and a bouquet of roses. But it was a milestone, nonetheless, as Gainesville City Councilman George Wangemann met with his 10,000th constituent Wednesday as part of his door-to-door journey through the city. “Congratulations,” he said to Jennifer Puryear, handing her a gift bag and a $30 restaurant gift certificate.
