It took only two pages on Friday for a grand jury to indict former House Speaker Ray Sansom and his friend, the president of Northwest Florida State College.

The gist of the specific case against Sansom and college president Bob Richburg is that they snookered $6 million into the state budget to help a big-shot donor, building an aircraft hangar he wanted while calling it a "classroom."

I know what people in Tallahassee say: If the voters don't like it, they can kick out their legislator.
But the truth is, the voters can't. Their legislator has too much money. Their legislator is part of a big insiders' club.
Good grief! The immediate past speaker of the House was just indicted on Friday. Indicted!

You think wall street is bad after w? After Jeb, the Florida legislature and state government did everything but torture (as far as we know). At least one grand jury has handed down one indictment. Good for them.
