Clint Curtis talked about the Florida Chamber of Commerce doing some illegal things. Can't recall what though.

2. It sounds like something out of a Carl Hiaasen novel...............

Florida is a seedy, slimy can of political worms. It always has been, and it always will be. It all starts at the top, and oozes down to the lowest levels. And levels are damn low the in Sunshine State.
