Tropical storm keeps Crist away from fundraiser with Scott Rothstein ties

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 by Michael C. Bender

Gov. Charlie Crist has canceled his second fundraiser in Palm Beach County in four days due to a state emergency.

After the deadly shootings in Orlando on Friday, Crist's U.S. Senate campaign canceled a $500/head reception at the Jupiter home of Lorenza amp; Larry Parmet, the CEO and president, respectively, of Sundance Products, a recycling company that in February shutdown its three Georgia plants that employed about 330 workers. Other hosts for that reception were trial attorney Brian LaBovick and his wife, Ester; and Allbury Bros. Boats President Jeff Lichterman.

On Monday, Tropical Storm Ida forced the campaign to scratch a $4,800/person reception at the corporate offices of The Falcone Group in Boca Raton. The hosts include the co-owner of Life Insurance Concepts Inc. Ted Bernstein as well as Art Falcone and Marc Roberts, two South Florida developers who have sunk $1.2 million into the Committee on Critical Challenges.

Careful readers of Post On Politics will remember that political action committee as the one created to push a constitutional amendment allowing casinos in Miami. The petition drive stalled, but as of April the group was still paying its Fort Lauderdale-based advisers.

You might recognize that adviser: Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler.
