special district the jail to make it include all 5 districts ; that would solve the house packing and district residence requirement problems .

I would like to have the Governor to investigate the entire County Commissioners.
Governor Bush investigate them all found proof of the underhanded deals George Touart, County Administrator and other county commisioners & fired them. During his tenure he presided over the soccer complex corruption scandal and the resulting removal from office of several County Commissioners, as well as the County’s reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Ivan. He has also been at the center of a number of controversies, including those leading to before he could resign. But after Bush left office, the county commissioners voted him back in so he coulld get his retirement.

I wanted to say some trashy stuff about Bergosh. Really, I did. Aside from college in Tampa, I’ve lived my whole life here and never seen any major political action aside from building the Wahoo’s Stadium (meanwhile the Civic Center continues to slowly die…).

One of the other commenters made a good point though– we need to vote, not merely talk about it!

Words are wind– especially from the career politicians! I want a representative that doesn’t cloak themselves from the public (I mean is visible to the community and actually takes a clear stand on issues instead of forever equivocating) and is an actual servant to us, don’t you too? We’re not choosing these folks to determine who is gonna get rich off their seat then retire to a lobbying firm, or other kickback– they’re there to do what we tell them!

@ John & Jason: With open primaries, what is the point of having individual parties? If you don’t want to identify as part of a certain party, why should you have a say in who that party elects? Open primaries make no sense to me unless it is for people to try sabotage the other party which is obviously wrong and dubious.

@ Jason. Jason, we would still do better with open primaries. Alan McMillain would have won big in 2018 if Florida was a state that held open primaries.

CG, please take a class in civics and also do a bit of research. I guess you would be happy with the president being elected by the will of voters in just a few states.

I think now is the time to show people power!!!! Everyone that wants thes people out need to vote them out !!!!I really have nothing to say about these county commissioners other than they all need to be replaced now !!! Clean the slate get rid of all of them because we know exactly what they are about and believe me it has nothing to do with the public interest!!! I think their motto is all for me and to hell with you!!! Yeah that’s it !!!!
