Shady Grady At It Again

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd is the guy who has no idea what the boundary lines are between church and state. He’s given government presents to local churches and delivered sermons at a local church in uniform. The local government very likely will be sued.  it’s the taxpayers who will have to cover the bill. here

If Judd swapped his Sheriff uniform for street clothing and delivered the sermon as Grady Judd, local citizen, there would be no problem.But he won’t do that. He’s too stubborn, too ignorant, too proud, and too “persecuted” to do the right thing.He’s gonna break the law and make the citizens pay for his arrogance.

A Note To Mr. Valdez

After talking to an old and dear friend about Florida GOP Jack Latava's tax break to yacht owners so they can repair their yachts, he told me he was ok with it. That he would not notice the extra taxes he would have to pay. We thought this note would be appropriate.
