State Sen. Jim Norman.
Thanks, deplorably, to a Democratic no-show and a common sense-challenged First District Court of Appeal, District 12 is now represented by the influence-peddling legacy of Ralph Hughes. And early voters who were told that a vote for the ethically-challenged Norman, who couldn’t be literally scraped off the ballot, was really a vote for replacement Rob Wallace, were unconscionably disenfranchised.
What an embarrassing, sordid scenario. Makes Pat Bean look almost classy. Almost.
