Thank you Billy for this rundown on the larger Pedicini picture. When voters understand the developer funded trash mailer election model, they reject it. Awareness is key! Unfortunately we had one Pedicini candidate make it through and she’ll be a County Commissioner in Sarasota. Her only opposition in November is the write in candidate who filed to close the primary. There’s more work to be done, but lots of good post primary news!

Glad to hear about Jefferson County. They deserve good leadership.

Yeah, big money always has the power to grab attention. We'll never fully win everything; but it can be confronted, shaped, punished, subjected to civic judgment. People just need the will to do it. Ya'll in Sarasota and Manatee should do nothing but praise yourselves for what you've done. And then we grab the ground we've taken and go take some more.

Any comments about Reichstag Ron and the update on Sarasota flooding? I heard/saw he's blaming local government.....What's this mirror fund group that Tacky O and Ron are peddling? Something about helping people who might need it, but they have to "like" you first....

There is nothing more smug than those 2 caviar connoisseurs. They won't even visit places in his own state unless he gets friendly press and Bryan Griffin to verbally abuse the crowd. They don't have the balls to have Ron go into a room unless it's "hand picked friendlies".
