One thing stands out. Why did she spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (tax payer money) on several trips to the Bahamas? She said it was to promote Florida tourism. Now how many Bahamians do you know come to Florida? What they don't have enough sun, sand and surf over there.
What to say to this inanity?
I work at a home improvement center here in Fort Lauderdale.
I sell tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise to Bahamian citizens every year. My store does hundreds of thousands of dollars in business with Bahamian nationals every year. Including the tourists. They have family over here. They come here to visit. Is that so hard to understand?
If you are Bahamian, you want to do business in South Florida and Florida in general as much as humanly possible.
I know what you are implying: that Harris is personally corrupt. But in your statement lies the answer to your charge: why would Katharine Harris, multimillion dollar heiress to a the fortune of an old citrus tycoon, need to skim money from the state for her personal expenses?
She didn't, did she? And I think both of us know that.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
