The FBI has increased the number of agents involved in corruption investigations in Palm Beach Co. by 6 people. Why is this necessary? Is corruption so rampant that an entire FBI office is overwhelmed? They took the agents out of the Miami office, does this mean that there isn't as much graft in Miami/Dade Co?
The investigations are focusing on land deals. How novel! I bet even Herman Talmadge of Georgia, a well respected honest politician never foresaw that development. (An honest politician is one who, once bought, remains bought.) Hummin (gotta love that south Georgia accent) never met someone that couldn't pay or be bought. The money would go into one coat pocket and come out another. If you had extra, Hummin knew what to do with it. If you were short, he had something for you. He was well loved and respected throughout the state. The Talmadge family made millions on land deals by shrewd manipulation of interstate routing and land "speculation." Much of the family's speculative investments are now extremely valuable properties at interchanges throughout Georgia. This was no coincidence, for those of you who can't read between the lines here. In some cases, the interstate highways were rerouted by miles to make sure that certain holdings were of value. This story is well known and accepted to longtime Georgia residents. There were never any corruption probes. I guess it was because Hummin wasn't so selfish as to forget those who he owed.
But these selfish politicians in Palm Beach County apparently didn't learn that lesson, for they ARE being investigated. Here's hoping that the probe goes so deep as to embarrass the entire power structure of this pathetic fiefdom. Citizens of Palm Beach County have been taken by professional con men under cover of authority and guise of public service.
I've said it before and it bears repetition ad nauseum: The citizens that vote without doing their homework always vote themselves into trouble sooner or later. This can be seen at every level of government and in every branch of government. Just open your eyes. The citizens pay when public safety departments are successfully sued for brutality, when rogue prosecutors put votes before justice, when emergency dispatchers mishandle calls, when trust in government is found to be misplaced in any way. The Feds will come in and break up the party, and your federal taxes do battle with your county taxes in courts that are paid for by your state taxes.
And the taxpayers either don't understand that or they don't care. Fools.
