Take a look at the lead paragraph in the Orlando Sentinel’s latest story on Polk County’s favorite son, J. D. Alexander.
Sen. J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, said Monday he’s talked to Gov. Charlie Crist in recent weeks about keeping the majority of U.S. Sugar Corp.’s agricultural lands in the sugar-growing business after the state finalizes its $1.75 billion buy-out of the company.
Wait? Does he mean he wants the state in the sugar-growing business?
A state run business? That’s down right French. Do you think there is a Floridians for Socialist Values mailing on the way?
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
