Result!

Excellent news from the Citizen newspaper. Republican voters have ousted Dixie Spehar and Sonny McCoy from the Monroe County Board of Commissioners (BOCC). These two officials along with the Mayor Di Gennaro have been an absolute plague on the county and our public treasury. This was only a primary vote but it was sufficient to get these clowns out of office, and as far as I, a Democrat, am concered this result spells victory for all of us. The county budget is a mess, all reserves spent and still ten million dollars to cut, but with any luck things may start to improve now that the dreaded "Gang of Three" is broken up. Di Gennaro was appointed to his job by former Governor Jeb Bush and one can only hope he will be ousted the same way when he faces the voters for the first time. Him and his plans to inflict county airports in Marathon and Key West.
