Re: [MBZ] bridges
Thanks for clearing that up. So many criminals become politicians in Florida, we pay little attention to the details of their crimes. Florida is pretty much like D.C. If you bring enough money to either, you can get about anything you want. In Florida, even the governorship. Gerry .
