You have to wonder where a grand jury would even begin to investigate political corruption in Florida? “So much corruption, So little time”

I wonder why it took so long?

When I read this my first thought was, how can this be? A flip flop by the florida Supreme Court in just 48 hours. Then I remembered four of these annointees were put there by none other than the King/Queen of flip flop himself
CharLIE DarLIE Crist. Must be CharLIE got to them to tell them its really a spoof and don’t worry its not really going to lead anywhere, we’re just trying to fake the Feds out and make them think we are going to look into all this corruption that leads right to the governors mansion side door. Hence, flip flop! Its alright now that they understand its all just a joke. Problem is these crooks can’t control the Feds. Just a thought, I wonder how much Scott Rothstein paid for those four Supreme Court Justices? Ah, he probably just kept it close to home never thinking he’d need them anyway.
Just Us is coming!

The first place on your list GOV.Crist for corruption is the CITY OF FORT PIERCE ..They used STATE FUNDS for city employees families and friends to purchase homes.These funds were taken from a program called REACH a program for low income familes within Fort Pierce who can’t afford a home of their own.The City decided to send a audit company to investigate (Kessler audits from New York)The citizens of Fort Pierce are angry and waiting for all this to happen and nothing…So Gov. Crist send your audits rightaway before all this is swept under the rug.The citizens and taxpayers of Fort Pierce will continue are quest to write letters and complains to the State Attorney office and Tallanhassee and also a city employee who was setup and whistle blowm by management in Fort Pierce City Hall…continue your QUEST GOV. CRIST..
