Tempers, accusations fly over secret ballots amendment
by Michael C. Bender | March 19th, 2009The national fight over ensuring secret ballots for union votes erupted Wednesday in an emotional quarrel between two Palm Beach County lawmakers that included one calling the other a “jerk” in a Florida House committee meeting.
Rep. Mary Brandenburg, D-West Palm Beach, called Rep. Adam Hasner, R-Boca Raton, a “jerk” from her seat in the House Policy Committee. Her microphone was turned off, but her comment was audible from at least the third row in the meeting room.

Ok, it is one thing to disagree on policy but it is incredibly unprofessional for a state representative to call another a jerk. I’ve known Rep. Brandenburg for a long time and believe me this is something she is known for-name-calling and bullying. This sad excuse for a politician actually thinks that not only should she be promoted to county commissioner, but that she gets to place her husband in her seat?
Sorry Mary, but when the voters have a say, they will send your husband and your federal grand jury investivated self packing to the unemployment line.
