special jailing time to avoid the cameras…please do that for EVERYONE, not your pals in political office.
That STINKS and tends to want to focus on those that ARRANGED for that booking time.
Charges are perjury and extortion, not wanting to build some environmental cove.
Just because one has held office for a long time doesn’t mean one gets to elbow their projects forward.
Damn shame that another commisisoner gets booked.
Jeff is a rich stupid KID.

Addie resigned.. why? To save her pension. She publicly SOLD her scripps vote and you morons let her go.
There are two left – Aaronson and Marcus. Saving the BEST for last. I like it.

Too bad the middle district of Florida doesn’t have a go getter US atty that supports suppressing public corruption like this one in south Florida. Central Florida Orange, Seminole, Osceola. Lake, Marion is loaded with corruption supported by Disney and the Villages developer. They control everything including the news media. It would be nice to see this culture of corruption busted wide open but it’ll never happen. Tey buy the politicians just as fast as they get elected!

This is sad. But it reminds us why we need to elect people who are not part of the system.

What about the $3 million that Koons bullied this South Cove Project for. This money could go to homeless in the County or for teachers and Police. They are being cut back but projects like this get funded and go forward. Where is the public indignation.

This is too good! The snot nose poor little rich boy gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar………….McCarty was the best catch, but still hoping Aaronson, Marcus and Greene get what they deserve too. Keep up the good job! Be thankful that Crist is not appointing the next one, as it would be one of the same, just as replacing McCarty with Abrams. Look out come Nov.,as the good ole boy crumbles. Let us pray!
