Today in the Blue Paper
It’s Blue Paper Friday again! Some good articles as usual.
Comm. Murphy Responds
Comm. Murphy actually responded to the email I sent yesterday. Here it is in all its glory.
I Can’t Help Myself
I wrote an email to Commissioner Murphy and copied the other commissioners. I very much doubt I’ll get a response. They like to put their bullshit out there and just let it circulate. Then it just seems to coat everyone’s … Continue reading
Yikes! I’m Appalled.
So I read this story on KeysNews this morning. Commissioner Murphy’s comments are awful. I think I gave her way too much credit in my write-up. She comes off as completely disengaged and clueless here. She contradicts herself in a … Continue reading

BOCC on the Record – Rice
I call David Rice “the quiet one”. He doesn’t say much, but when he does there’s often some sense in it. Good thing, too. He ran unopposed in 2014 so he’ll be around until 2018. Comm. Rice’s track record on Cudjoe … Continue reading
