Charter Schools and Vile Natacha

I was very interested in the Charter School article in the Herald today by Tania deLuzuriaga and Carol Marbin Miller. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Much more should come out. Another taxpayer money boondoggle. I am a big hater of charter schools. Check out the article Tania's Article

I was wondering why a David H. Bashaw and Christoper Vecellio would give to the Vile Natacha Seijas in her last bid for the Commission in 2004. After all, David is from Jupiter Florida and Chris is from West Palm Beach. Why give to her? Why give to the head of the Environmental/Infrastructure committee? Here is why. White Rock Quarries is a division of Vecellio & Grogan and both men are connected to the firm. Rock Miners!

I looked further. Ronald Bergeron of Ft. Lauderdale gave. He just happens to be President of Bergeron Properties & Investment Corp. and Bergeron Land Development, Inc. Could this be the same Bergeron that was reported to have told local media that he punched an alligator after being bit during a tussle with it. As reported in AARF News May 5th: In “A misguided attempt to impress friends. Mr. Bergeron jumped onto an alligator and, in his words, began to “wrestle.”“ We have no objection to Mr. Bergeron playing ‘cowboy,’” said ARFF spokesperson Heather Veleanu, “But physically attacking Florida wildlife is cruel, and we believe that it is also a crime.”

You get my drift, looking at campaign contributions can uncover some very strange folks and very interesting connections.

Amazing how the elite in political-economic Miami are so interconnected. It makes those banana republic regimes in Latin America look so modern and clean! From the Sergio Pino's to the airport employees' selling petro from the airport fuel depot on the streets of Hialeah, in Miami it is just more of the same.
