There’s No Change Like No Change
You would have thought that with all of the rocks that have been turned over in the local political scene lately, and all of the “evil doers” discovered among the political class, as well as the rise of the “Tea Party Movement”, there would have been some changes made by voters.
You would be wrong. The local Republicans selected Matt Gaetz, the son of the current state senator for the area, Don Gaetz. He was the choice of the good ol’ boy network and they awarded him with an obscene amount of money.
The election will be in April, when three-quarters of the current legislative session is over, and there will have to be another election in the Fall. This is absurd and has cost the county a lot of money for these special elections.
We should just select someone at random from the jury pool. It would be a lot cheaper and the individual couldn’t get much worse than what we’ve had in the past.
