I’m sorry to see that Steve Geller is forced to confront the lies on this blog. Steve Geller is a dedicated public servant who has spent his life representing south Florida’s best interests in the Legislature. When I had a problem with the DOT, Geller went to work and solved it. He would be a great county commissioner.

Honest:

The lies which are told on Blogs are astounding. There’s nothing that elected officials can do to counteract these anonymous attacks. Blogger/quasi reporters know that they’re immune, and can say almost anything that they want.

If you’d like to call me at my law office, I’ll be happy to discuss those matters with you. 954-491-1120.

Thanks buddy but I was really talking about their support/opposition to and votes on stuff like public transportation, affordable housing , living wage and stuff like that.

FROM BUDDY:
Sue Gunzburger has a strong, liberal record on the subjects you mentioned. She has supported all three issues you mentioned.
Steve Geller was the Democrat’s leader in the Senate and has strongly backed Democratic positions in the Legislature against a blizzard of opposition from the GOP members. I don’t know his voting record on the issues you mentioned, but I would bet he supports all three.

As an “outsider” who would probably donate her time to one or the other is there anybody out there knowledgable about either of these Democrats past history when it comes to working class issues? Geller seems a little above us but I don’t know about sue.

FROM BUDDY: They both have above average wealth.

What I love about this blog is that it gives people that know the opportunity to say things we might not otherwise say. That is refreshing and important that there not be so much in our county that goes unsaid. Every insider knows that Geller’s motivation in running for the County is all about personal income and due to term limits. He is just another lawyer with hat in hand unless he holds an elected office with power. He is a pompous and frankly otherwise unimpressive lawyer at that, a laughable figure without elected office. Only as an elected official can he command all kinds of payola. That plus his state pension grows. These are his motivations as he has no interest otherwise and despises the idea of being in local politics. Once in the Senate you have no interest in anything as “low class” as the county commission. He’s doing this because he must. Now there’s Mutual Benefits and as Bob Norman said in his blog “this bares Geller open” something like that and reveals exactly what this man is all about (dirty). Sue Gunzburger has never been the easiest person in the world to work with and she can be difficult on many levels. But she’s 100 times more trustworthy, her motives are 100 times more honorable, and despite the fact that she can be a political cut-throat, her record on development and the environment, on parks and libraries, on kids and seniors and housing and social services, frankly just about everything she has voted on has been good over the years. She is far from perfect but certainly a much better choice than Geller.

Let’s wait until the Federal Grand Jury finishes the indictments from
the Mutual Benefits case. Let’s see who in Tallahasse sold out. it’s right around the corner. By the way I’m with Sue as she is an incredible woman and honest. The 12 people are the special interests she voted against.

1. My parents had nothing to do with funding the dot-com, didn’t put a penny into it, and didn’t know any of the funding sources. The financing came almost entirely from overseas sources and from Inman Ventures/Gefinor. And, FYI, I was already involved in designing brochures and developing “message” for the late Hollywood Commissioner Stan Goldman and others well before my mother ever ran for office for the first time in 1982.

2. I’m an experienced trial attorney with over 60 jury trials in state and federal courts. I’ve also argued over 100 bench trials and conducted well over 1,000 depositions. I also clerked for a Vermont Supreme Court Justice (whom my folks probably couldn’t even name). And all this legal work has nothing to do with politics. Although my folks were gracious enough to pay for my law school tuition at Vermont — so they did help out to some extent.

3. And, unlike you Polly, I’m not afraid to sign my real name to my postings (and, before you ask: I’m out of the office using some leave days right now).

Ron,

Funny how your resume — with the exception of the dot.com business which your Mommy and Daddy funded — was connected to politics.

People think Geller is any better? Neither Gunzburger or Geller need to run be. Please, get someone up there with brains and common sense. Gunzburger and Geller only want to be there because of Power and Publicity, get someone up there who knows what they’re doing for a CHANGE and get this County back where it’s supposed to be, PLEASE?
