Another Day, Another Broward School Board Candidate…

Leave a reply

Abby Freedman, a Parkland Democrat, has filed campaign paperwork for the Broward School Board At-Large (District 8) seat. Earlier in the week, Andrew Luciani jumped into the race. School Board Member Donna Korn is running for this seat as is Franklin Sands (D-Got Big Payments From The Florida Democrat Party).

Did Team Sands add people to the race in the hopes of setting up a November faceoff with Korn? This formerly two-person race favored Ms. Korn, a longtime Broward Schools activist. Sands, who spent many years in Tallahassee, is clearly out of touch with the issues affecting Broward students, parents and teachers. Despite the backing of his stepson Alex Heckler, a big fundraiser for President Obama, Sands may have feared losing a two person race against Korn in August.

Awake (UP) Broward: Democrat Insider Barbara Miller Isn’t Part Of The 99 Percent

On Tuesday, Barbara Miller, the ultimate Broward Democrat insider, joined Awake Broward Democrats and the Occupy Fort Lauderdale crowd at their Awake The State rally in Fort Lauderdale. They held signs and sang songs bemoaning the “one percent” and Republican politicians as the root of all evil. Lots of “we are the 99 percent” chants too.

But c’mon man. Barbara Miller? Really? Part of the 99%? The woman who’s had a hand in picking Broward judges and school board members for decades? The woman who spents more time vacationing in Europe than visiting the Sawgrass Mills mall? The “godmother” of vanished ex-school board member Jennifer Gottlieb? The good friend of lobbyist Neil Sterling?

Sorry, Ms. Miller may be nice. She may be powerful. But she definitely ain’t the 99 percent.

In this video, Tea Party Fort Lauderdale recognizes Ms. Miller and says hello. Lots of the Broward insiders are more recognizable these days. People are paying attention.

Does the 99% pick Broward Judges and School Board members? Nope.
