Broward County Commisioner (and resident joke-teller) Kristin Jacobs (D-“Fair”) launched her campaign for US Congress at the old schoolhouse in Deerfield Beach. Jacobs was introduced by fellow commissioner, Bonny Prince Johnny Rodstrom.

A crowd of about 60 family members and Democrat activists listened as Jacobs gave a speech right out of the Clinton-era 1990s: “Save the oceans”, “build bridges” ” play by rules” and “livable wage”.

Funny thing, she didn’t mention President Barack Obama.

Jacobs played up her underdog role. Lois Frankel remains the Democrat frontrunner with more than a million dollars in the bank. The Democrat will face GOP candidate Adam Hasner who has the backing of the RNC, the NRCC, Congressman Allen West, and local GOPers State Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff and State Rep. George Moraitis.

Some notable Democrats in attendance: County Commisioner Lois Wexler, “Ethics” honcho Roy Rogers, BSO candidate Louis Granteed, School Board lobbyist and Rogers’ chum Lisa Maxwell, Allen West protest organizer Michael Rajner and Democrat operative Jack Shifrel.

Dancing to the same ol' Broward Democrat beat

Coincidences don’t happen in Broward County. We mentioned Broward County Commission Agenda Item 48 in an earler story; The item deals with the Commission redistricting maps. Commissioners Chip LaMarca and Dale Holness summoned supporters to the meeting. The powers-that-be must have caught wind. They don’t like hearing from the public, ever.

The item, which was set to be heard at 1:30pm, was dealt with at 10:00am. Yep, out-of-order. No one in the room except the Commissioners dirty tricksters staff and probably Judy Stern.

But never fear. You (might) have another chance to be heard on this issue when it comes up again on February 14th at 1:30pm.

In honor of Valentine’s Day you can wear red and bring chocolates and flowers for Judy Stern,, Kristin Jacobs, Stacy Ritter and Jon Rodstrom. (Ilene Lieberman prefers mangoes)
