I better mark this on the calendar,,,I agree with Boco on this one.

Didn’t our Founders leave their own turf and do something special with where they landed?

Not so sure the origin was not encouraged by potential for profit and was running to it and not from something. Then later when they began being smothered by the mother country. Of which maybe they thought they had financed the project and the rights to ownership was theirs. But then just maybe some remembered the king of religion and preferred a new King. Thus a revolution and there was no place for swallow friends that were only there for the good times and flew off for better climate when times got a little rough.

“No King but King Jesus!”

Unless you have a lot of money you want to get rid of I would not be heading to Europe. Fuel and electricity are getting a little on the expensive side. A friend of mine in the Netherlands is building a small well insulated room in his living room for the winter. He has an electric heater to heat it, the rest of the house will not have heat. He said people go hang out in stores because they have heat.

I guess I misinterpreted the bill...it was my understanding that there is legislative (not governor) oversight, so that a co commission can't just oust a sheriff for no reason.

I am not sure and have no researched it yet but a county commission, legislature or governor should have no power to remove an elected sheriff that has not been convicted of a serious crime unless the sheriff is a liberal...

That's pretty much how most of the state laws work. Sheriffs are constitutional officers only answerable to the governor and governor can only remove for cause.

But it has led to what we have here. Several county commissions have set up their own police departments when they couldn't get the sheriff to step and fetch. It has led to issues such as the sherriff I mentioned barring county police from the jail and courthouse and threatening to arrest the police chief. Or other counties with Sheriff's departments consisting of the sheriff, process servers, bailiffs and jailers.

Agreed...but other than Riley co (because they appoint theirs) no other sheriff was protected from their said commission. I hope I'm not wrong, but I very well could be...if so, I guess I'm part of the problem.

Only problem with Florida is 22 million people live there and many more are coming not counting millions of more tourist. Way too crowded for me plus the awful humidity and insects to put up with. Been there once in the summer and ain’t ever going back. Then there are the hurricanes. But it is some peoples thing.

The keys are really nice...cool ocean breeze and women in bikini's....

They will be under water soon when the icecaps melt.
Bring your ducky floater,lol.

I don't have a duckie....ready for waterworld thou..

Plenty of wild pets to choose from there too!

Tampa is the llightning capital of the world. Many times at Disney World they need to shut down until the T storms pass over.

You'd have preferred Abrams? I agree he's gutless, but still the better alternative.

No I don't but I didn't vote for the coward either. Left that one blank.

Thought this was about Bama fans jumping ship and running to Georgia.

I'm a stay and fight guy. I'll go down swinging
