“The damage Mr Kavanaugh’s confirmation, in the current circumstances, could do the Supreme Court is even worse. It would give it a second alleged conservative sex pest, and thereby an all-male conservative majority. It could then settle gender-divisive issues—most obviously concerning abortion rights—in ways that most women would abhor. The blow to the court’s standing could be severe. This is something Mr Grassley and his Republican colleagues should consider when they cite rules-based objections to Ms Blasey’s claims. The legitimacy American institutions enjoy rests on more than following rules. They must also be considered fair—or suffer the consequences.”
–From a Lexington Column, The Economist, Sept. 22, 2018.

In Florida and in State Government:
Note: Some proceedings below can be followed live on the Florida Channel. Most legislative proceedings can be followed through the Senate or House websites.
CITRUS GRANT APPLICATIONS DISCUSSED: The state Division of Emergency Management will hold a workshop about the process for citrus growers to apply for federal aid stemming from damage sustained by the industry in Hurricane Irma. (Monday, 9 a.m. USDA Horticultural Lab, 2001 South Rock Rd., Fort Pierce.)
LGBTQ GROUPS SUPPORT GILLUM: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is slated to appear at a rally in Miami-Dade County with the Human Rights Campaign, SAVE and Equality Florida. (Monday, 2:30 p.m., SAVE headquarters, 1951 N.W. Seventh Ave., Miami.)
JUDGE HEARS BID TO GET ON BALLOT: Leon County Circuit Judge Karen Gievers will hold a hearing in a lawsuit filed by Bruce Nathan, a physical therapist from Stuart who finished seventh out of eight candidates in last month’s Republican gubernatorial primary and is now trying to run as an independent. Nathan has also requested a temporary injunction to suspend the Nov. 6 general election for governor until his qualification is clarified. Nathan contends he had been registered with no political affiliation but was a Republican when he filed for the statewide campaign, paying the higher qualifying fee to run in the primary. As part of his argument to be placed on the November ballot, Nathan said state law declares the “candidate receiving the highest number cast in each contest in the primary election shall be declared nominated for such office.” However, he said state law is “open to interpretation” for its “absence of any statement about the candidates that did not receive the highest votes.” (Monday, 3 p.m., Leon County Courthouse, 301 South Monroe St., Tallahassee.)

Mosquito Control Higher tax rate so they can build castles to themselves and buy a useless helicopter not needed given the small size of the East Mosquito Control District. Meanwhile mosquito’s proliferate in our residential areas.
Same with the county taxes so Manager can pay himself and his assistant Sherman golden parachutes and double compensation in our hard earned taxes!
