Gwen Margolis raised $25,790 (between 11/08 and 11/21) in her quest to become Property Appraiser. Multimillionaire Ed Easton gave Gwen Margolis’ campaign $200. Two hundred dollars?? Is he kidding? He is trying to move the Urban Development Boundary for Parkland. Easton has given 3 to 5 thousand to most County Commissioners during their election campaigns. Why this paltry sum to Margolis? It is almost a slap in the face or is he trying to fool us? Gwen also got $500 from Greenberg Traurig Law firm. Again, not much considering how much land-use business they do. She got money from 13 CPA’s: $250 each. Also saw Seth Gordon on the list.
Her opponent, Pedro Garcia, raised $825 in his report ending 11/21/08. Apparently Natacha Seijas’ vile support didn’t translate into donations in this reporting time frame.
Not many will vote so I think Garcia will win: The Hispanic name. He got an endorsement from Diario Las Americas. Frankly, I don’t think the developers are too thrilled with either of these candidates judging by the contributions thus far. There are campaign reports due December 11th. I wonder if they will hold them up?

We can do better than just throwing in the towel.
A good start would be for all of us calling , emailing, cajoling or just plain annoying our friends, family and colleagues.Make them get out there and vote on Tuesday.
It will only take a few minutes with only one vote!
