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.

Democrat Chris Smith Starring In Franklin Sands Robocalls

Florida State Senator Chris Smith (D-Smithmyer)  is doing robocalls for Franklin Sands’ School Board campaign. Smith tells listeners how he worked with Sands in Tallahassee…blah, blah, blah.

Media Trackers has this story detailing the cozy relationship between Sands (D-Old Timer) and his school board lobbyist stepson Alex Heckler. Like Chris Smith, Heckler is a huge Barack Obama fan. Heckler is known as an “Obama Bundler.”

Here’s a pic of Smith at the opening of a Broward Obama For America office with Nick Steffens’ campaign manager. Don’t you just love all these connections?
