Ex-Florida House speaker indicted for perjury; political benefactor indicted for official misconduct
by Michael C. Bender | May 27th, 2009(AP) — Former House Speaker Ray Sansom is facing a new charge of perjury.
State Attorney Willie Meggs says Sansom lied to a grand jury when he testified that a proposed Northwest Florida State College airport hangar wouldn’t be used for by any private entity.
Sansom steered millions of dollars to the college then later took a high-paying job with the school. Last month he was charged with misusing his position to help the school.
Also indicted Wednesday was Sansom’s friend and Republican political donor Jay Odom, who had sought state money for the hangar. Odom was charged with official misconduct.
Meggs said his office was given a copy of a proposed lease between Odom and the school to use the hangar.

I wrote the blog under the name of Brendan Sullivan. I am a very disturbed person. I have multiple identities. I like to attack judges and lawyers over the internet, especially the good ones. This is because they work hard and stand for justice and, well, I stand for the opposite. Look me up. I am a convicted perjurer. I will not support my family. I spend my days with my gay lover, Jay Gordon, thinking up ways to spread trash. I have called attorney Henry Hankler a crime boss. I am the person responsible for ugly attacks against Chief Judge Kroll. Some news people like to write about me because I am garbage and a rat and they find that interesting. Look me up; my name is Lewis Kasman.Thanks
