The Raw Story has an amazing case showing an example of the GOP with the cooperation of corrupt Democrats taking over small towns for developers. The state representative candidate after announcing he was investigating voter fraud on the part of city officials was arrested on the charge of publicly recording his meetings with officials. This is a Democratic area but the GOP is funding leading Democrats who will switch parties if they run for higher office.
More on the story here. LA City Beat coverage here. Judge had to rule he is allowed to attend city council meetings. The war of the websites.
The description of going's on in Alachua Florida is not that different than Pasadena Texas with a mayor and some of city council in bed with rich developers, the beginnings of a reform movement, problems with mail-in ballots, a losing candidate being allowed on the board for one year after the election, and a community forum heating up.
- It's a real zoo in suburbia lately.
