Bob Harms to the rescue (again)

Once again, Bob Harms answers the call to help the voters of Jacksonville. He again enters the legal fray to preserve our right to a fair and legal election.

Go, Bob, go!

Here's a direct link to Harms's Motions for Joinder and For Transfer.

And you know we'll be discussing it at JaxOutLoud.

Video Killed the Radio Star

Oh yeah, before I forget... I'll be on the radio tomorrow morning between the hours of 9AM and 10AM on Dave Siebert's call-in show on AM 1460. If you're outside the area and interested in listening, that's www.1460.us for the live stream.

Diane Melendez and I will be his guests for the hour to talk about and issues of local concern. I imagine the Harms v. Jabour decision will come http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifup. Tune in!

Signs of intelligent life!

It's been a rough week in Jacksonville. The Grand Jury's presentment was a round of Kumbya for civic involvement, while letting Them Get Away With It. The State Ethics Commission is set to potentially allow hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal entertainment and booze expenses to go unpunished because those silly politicians and their hangers-on thought partying like Paris and Britney with taxpayer money was a "perk" of their job. And half the leadership of the city, with spouses and other hangers-on, are set to do it all again, only this time down old Shanghai way. Yeah, a rough week for the taxpayer and work-a-day folks in New Cowford (same as the Old Cowford).

But this week had its bright spots. Leslie Goller, corruption-fighting Super-Esq, was revealed as the official Complainer and Whistleblower of the illegal entertainment and booze expenses. Art Shad struck a blow for runner's rights. The JaxOutLoud crew has been working overtime to keep 'em honest. And through wonderful happenstance, I was connected to kindred spirit and fellow law-blogger Colony Jax. His stuff is outstanding. He posts about things that I would if I weren't talking about shoes and iPhones.

So, signs of intelligent life in Jacksonville are reassuring. They give me, cynical and jaded me, hope for the future. Some idea, perhaps, that things will get better.

The buzz and good feelings will soon turn to the special election being held for the City Council District 10 seat. There's talk of building a movement around one candidate who can storm into the St. James Building and take on the tax-increasers and promise-breakers. As always I stand ready, willing, and able to assist in getting that person elected. (I'm just not telling anyone that I recently moved to CC10 myself. No, no, no... I'm not ready to go down That Road again.)
