Dems' Shakedowns and Hasner's Golf Swing

Who says it all has to be about the economy? With Florida's legislators back in town, there is always something to blog about...

Two articles today highlight the trouble facing House Democrat Leader Franklin Sands, who has most recently come under fire for allegedly participating in pay-to-play politics. Read the Orlando Sentinel article and the News-Press article.

Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Adam Hasner told the Tallahassee Democrat, "'Our system isn't set up that way,' adding that assignments are based solely on a member's expertise and interest."

"When a reporter asked if the assignments were also based on the quality of their golf swings, Hasner jokingly agreed.

"'Yeah, that's why I don't chair any committees,' he said."
