Like everyone else, I'm out running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to cram 30 hours into a 24 hour day.
The holidaze are upon us.
But I'm not too busy to notice the first bill filed in the Florida state house. And what a charmer it is.
Question.
Are the proposed loitering laws in place of or in addition to the current residency restrictions confining Florida families into concentrated areas?
Perhaps District 62 Rep. Richard "Rich" Glorioso (R-Plant City) can answer that question for me? Or perhaps this one?
Representative, is this yet another tired, sad political play to earn a quick vote playing the Fear Card?
Because Floridians are a bit more educated than they were a few years back, now that many of their own family and friends have become ensnared in what constitutes a sexual offense these days and the resulting laws of confinement passed by Bible-thumping politicians like yourself who have failed our state.
