Franklin Sands Reimburses Himself Nearly $1500 For “Auto Mileage”

Guess times are tough for lobbyists like Florida State Rep Franklin Sands (D-Lobbyist). In his latest campaign financial report, Mr. Sands, a registered lobbyist in Broward County, paid himself $1,469.00 for auto mileage.

You’d think Sands would save money by picking up contributions from his stepson’s lobbying firm LSN Partners and dropping off checks to the Pollara Group; LSN and Pollara share the same address.

The good news: Franklin can afford gas prices thanks to those checks from the gambling industry. We all know the gambling industry really cares about Broward school kids and teachers.

Franklin, you’re a real middle class champion!!!

Franklin Sands is running against Donna Korn for the district 8 seat on the Broward County School Board.

Broward GOP “On Fire”, Working Weekends For Romney and Local Republicans

Mitt Romney and Broward Republican Chairman Richard DeNapoli

Local Republicans are working hard this Saturday for Mitt Romney, Connie Mack and local GOP favorites. Early this morning the Broward Republican headquarters filled with volunteers stuffing mailers into envelopes and making phone calls. Broward Republican chairman Richard DeNapoli emailed thousands of activists and flooded social media with a call to action. Over at Broward Beat, Buddy Nevins wrote how the Republicans are eclipsing the Broward Democrats under the lackluster leadership of Mitch Cesar (D-Comedian):

“The question will be if the Obama ground operation here — an operation that has remained largely invisible to this voter so far — can produce the big turnout that Democrats need.

Local Democratic activists candidly say they doubt whether Broward can deliver. The excitement is gone and the local party is divided.

Meanwhile, Broward Republicans are on fire.”

In addition to the GOP HQ, volunteers are working at the Romney offices in Fort Lauderdale and Coral Springs.
