Wow! Was that a short honeymoon or what?
I dunno, maybe newly elected Rep. Chad Johnson, R-Chiefland, was mortally offended because a Gainesville Democrat had the cheek to challenge him for a seat that is clearly reserved for Republicans.
But more likely, Johnson is one of four of five members of our legislative delegation who don’t care spit about what GNV residents want or how GNV residents vote.
So what if 73 percent of the city voted to return GRU to local control? The Great DeSanitizer and his GOP legislature hijacked GRU from its legal owners fair and square. And they’re gonna keep it.
Chad Johnson’s only been in power for like five minutes. But he already knows all there is to know about GNV: We’re blue so we’re wrong.
It’s not like folks in this city have any legitimate claim to citizenship rights in his Free State Of Floriduh.
But just in case some pointy-headed judge decides that GNV voters really do have the right to decide how to run their communal property, Johnson’s got a bill ready to re-hijack GRU.
Oh, yeah, and to give The Great DeSanitizer’s puppet GRU overlords even more power with which to screw GNV.
This before even bothering to sit through the mock-exercise of hearing what GNV residents think about the issue at Thursday’s annual legislative delegation meeting.
The Alachua County Labor Coalition wants folks to sign a petition asking the delegation to “Respect Our Vote.” That’s rather like asking Putin to go easy on Ukraine. Still, go ahead and sign it, GNV.
Like a good primal scream it might not do any good, but I’ll make us feel better.
