Something Smells Funny in O-Town

Expressway Manager Suspended After Verbal Altercation
quote:

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:

The grand jury report also criticized Keen for raising money for Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty's re-election campaign, while Crotty was sitting on the Expressway Authority board.

Orlando/Florida has been a mess for a long time. The North has known this for hundreds of years. The difference is, the media here has finally gotten the nerve to expose these criminals, because they are not related to the politicians, no one owes anybody favors, etc. These politicians think that it's o.k. to rip the old people off. Lake County is no exception. We just had a friend pass away in Lake County. They charge $12 s shot for the death certificate. No gratis for the family at all, and $12 a shot after that. Southerners feel they have a right to rip the Northerners off, because they have money(supposedly). Government is a part of the problem. This is going on everywhere, not just Orlando. But, if I had to go to Orlando, they would have to give me combat pay. It is time I believe to vote these idiots out of office and have the people take their power back. Orlando is not a victim, it is a volunteer, they allow themselves to be ripped off by these people, I choose not to be a victim, I refuse to go to Orlando, I refuse to go on toll roads,I refuse to pay for anything extra until Florida and Orlando both get their heads out of their asses and start catering to the people that they serve.

I hope this makes sense, I was constantly interrupted by my cousin telling me stories--I like your blog, you make much sense. Keep on trucking.
