Something Smells Funny in O-Town

Expressway Manager Suspended After Verbal Altercation

The report claims companies that worked with the authority were pressured to make political donations.

Did anyone ever stop to consider that maybe this person is just one of the fall guys? After all, he and others named in an earlier article were not running for any office where they would need campaign funds, so what would be their motivation? Gun Shy has a saying that goes like this. When the apple looks bad, check inside and you will find the worms. Let's face it folks, Orlando is a mess. It appears more and more that everyone has been having their way with Orlando at the taxpayer’s expense. O-Town at one time was a lovely apple, but now it appears that only the brown decaying core is left. If the media keeps digging in this closet, I have a suspicion that a whole lot more huge skeletons might appear in the closets of higher level politicians. Gun Shy's advice is, do NOT allow thieves to audit their own books. Call in an outside team who DO NOT have a vested interest, do not answer to anyone here in the local political machine, and will pursue this situation thoroughly to uncover all the facts. You might be surprised at the outcome.

Make sure to read this article as well. Here is a quote:
