Made my day too. Seems like nothing changes on the Keys. Graft and corruption are a way of life, especially among democrats.

When I lived there, the sheriff ran the drug trade. One of my Dad's friends was labeled "one of the 10 crookedest politicians in the US". He was also tried, but bought off a juror, so they moved the trial to Orlando where he bought off another juror. Never was convicted. He bought up the land on one of the Keys, had the county put in a road, power and water from US 1 to the end of the road, about two miles, where there was just his house. Made a killing.
