Time change seen as harbinger of spring

Eric Turkington (D-Cape and Islands) recently wrote state Attorney General Martha Coakley urging her to join other states' attorneys general in supporting a class action lawsuit protesting tax discrimination against out-of-state property owners in Florida.The lawsuit, Lanning et al v. Pilcher et al., questions the constitutionality of a "Save Our Homes Amendment" (SOHA) to the Florida constitution passed by voters in 1992, according to a recent press release from Mr. Turkington's office.

Hence all the talk of hope and change ! In reality, what hope and change ? Ask yourself……… What's wrong with this picture ? 2. Just about everything that comes out of Hillary Clinton's mouth is complete B.S. for instance, the Clintons have probably received more campaign contributions from special interest groups and been involved in more scandals during "their" tenure than just about any president I can think of in the recent past. Ask yourself people, do you really think that will make the special interest groups go away as she claims she will do in this article ? Wake up America !!!! .
