That depends on the changes.

If the changes don’t make any good sense, which is what we’ve mostly been getting out of the Legislature since this Republican wave took over the state, then I’d rather have people working from the outside. There is no value in further adding to the ranks of idiots simply because they happen to be in charge. American is continuing to throw that crowd out of Washington, and I think that very thing will happen here soon.

OK so Buddy discolses his conflict (real not potential). To me that means he is anything but unbiased about all things Bogdanoff. In fact I can’t remember anything critical about Ellyn that Buddy has written, at least since his son started working for her. It would be nice for Buddy to do as we expect politicians to do when faced with a conflict – abstain. That would mean no more fluff pieces about his son’s employer. But than again this is a blog and he is only expressing his opinion which he certainly has the right to do. However it still stinks.

Let’s see—is it better to have a legislator working changes from the inside (Republican) or have a Democrat—working from the outside and getting nothing?

Gee whiz – Buddy writes a column praising his son’s employer. Let’s see how Ellyn does now that that she has to campaign away from the lilly white Republican beaches of Broward and Palm Beach counties.

FROM BUDDY: I disclose any potential conflict with my family and I always have. That disclosure is more than many journalists do in the South Florida media. You would be surprised.
If Bogdanoff’s opponents have news, I invite them to write me at any time. I will give them a fair shake.

Republicanism is no longer a political dogma, it is a personality disorder, a learning disability, an emotionally based opposition to logic, a mean spirited agenda against anyone but themselves and their own special interest.

Bogdanoff has been good for Florida and will win the Senate seat hands down. Obama’s reckless spending will guarantee that.

And please let it be true that Maureen Dinnen will run for the seat. Get her off the School Board and into retirement once and for all.

IPF: “Bogdanoff helped campaign for the Children’s Services Council tax”

That was at least four years before she ran and was elected to the State Legislature.

Since that time she has faithfully followed the party line.

Maureen Dinnen will run for this seat. She is a union darling and has strong support in that area.
Wait and see.

My friend IP has no clue what the facts are. First, the MPO is a joke. The only agency that matters in terms of what road construction happens or doesn’t happen is FDOT. Period.

Second, Bogdanoff is a confused Republican. I happen to know that her heart is way left of her politics but she is a captive of her own ambitions and has had to sell out to the Republicans in order to advance her career. There’s a word for that kind of person where I’m from…let me not use it in connection with a lady.

And the way Bogdanoff and her crowd have imposed their twisted agenda on local governments, the “choices” IP talks about are indeed very limited. We no longer live in a home rule state. This state is run by the Republicans in Tallahassee, and the thing we must do is free ourselves of their twisted nowhere grip.

That is why Bogdanoff is not what we need for Broward or for Florida. She and her crowd have no answers to our problems, only the ability to make our problems worse, and they are out of touch with what Florida needs.
