#1 - Wed Apr 6, 2011 11:27 AM EDTNothing good comes out of corruption, even when it’s in broad daylight. The St. Petersburg Times‘ Howard Troxler has been writing consistently, passionately, hilariously about this appalling absurdity:
So now, just as it was in Florida’s corrupt past, if you are an interest group that wants a law passed, you simply go to the leaders of the House and Senate …
And you pay them off directly.
Unbelievable, isn’t it?
It is now legal. To pay. Money. Directly. To the leaders of the Florida Legislature.
