Politics is not a game for sissies. It can be intense, confrontational, deceptive and even daunting to those who are new to the game. I inherited my interest in politics from my dad. As I matured, the interest continued and after a career in law enforcement (not a stranger to politics in its own right) I landed in the play by play booth of the political arena. It’s the job and I’m told it’s valuable in keeping the community entertained and informed. I'm glad for that; it is the goal after all, to have our community engaged in shaping our governments. Not everybody gets it and that includes candidate who don’t necessarily get what we do or just how engaged this audience is. We’ll have more on this in our 7am hour of this Friday.
We’ll start the day with Bigfoot. Anybody seen a skunk ape lately?
Saving a hoarse by riding a cowboy has found a slow ride to trial. Almost Governor Andrew Gillum’s Federal corruption trial has been delayed from this month until the spring. I’m thinking his defense team needs all the time it can get.
A Tampa area congressional candidate isn’t. A judge has blocked his run because the candidate could not manage to properly file his candidacy paperwork. Governor DeSantis has suspended a State Attorney for claiming he would not prosecute certain crimes.
Hour three brings Sheriff Wayne Ivey to our studios. Wayne’s been in the news of late, more in the political realm than that of policeman, but there are law enforcement issues to take on. And, yes, I will ask the question about the elephant in the room. We’ll see what the sheriff has to say.
