Former Congresswoman Carrie Meek is certainly an example of an albatross around the neck of U.S. Senate hopeful Kendrick Meek. The County Commission voted yesterday that Carrie’s lobbying activity is not in conflict but it doesn’t smell right to me and it won’t play right in the rest of the State. For those of you living under a rock, she is lobbying for the County and Wackenhut and the County is suing Wackenhut. Kendrick: She has to retire! She hired Miguel DeGrandy to represent her at the County Commission? Well, that name makes me shutter. He is Vile Natacha Seijas’ favorite lobbyist. Carrie ties you to Stackhouse, no bid contracts, mortgage on her condo, lobbying activities (like rock mining), etc. For example: If you get elected will we see legislation that goes easy on the State's rock mining industry? Retire woman, give your son a fighting chance. We want our Senator squeaky clean.

I won't vote for Meek, although I am a Democrat.
Not Crist either: Signed SB 360.
Not Rubio: That one is a no brainer. Except if he gets hit by lightning and does an aboutface.
Looks like I am staying home...oops except to vote for Amendment 4: In favor of it.
The Herald article stated that it was not disclosed how much Wackenhut paid for its lobbying work by Meek. Sunshine would be a nice alternative to the staus quo.
I get weekly and sometimes daily emails from the Kendrick Meeks campaign, but I ignore them all, largely due to the taint from his mother.
His mother is bad news now. It makes you wonder what kind of a Congresswoman she really was. Didn't Kendrick also work for Wackenhut and his wife. All in the family. I won't vote for him either.
I think it more than odd that 4 Hispanic commissioners were not there to vote. Seems purposeful.
Genius,
Good, as always, but didn't you mean to say "he makes me shudder"?
Can the mention of a name make me shudder too? If so lets go with both. I am still angry at the redistricting he had his big fat, slimy hands in.
DeGrandy and Meek go way back... he is one of the masterminds of co-opting of the African American political establishment, cf. LBA support... not to mention redistricting. Check out Operation Courtbroom: just like Carey Shuler, no one was indicted. Worst kept secret in M-D.
Mama Meek was also the shill for Lennar on Florida City Commons, the mega project outside the UDB by Card Sound Road. I could never vote for her or her son.
Operation Courtbroom....will look it up.
I suspect Junior is sitting on the only seat he can get elected to. The comments on this piece restore my faith in the judgment of "the people." Thank God!
I LOOKED IT UP AND GUESS WHAT:
There was the name of Miguel DeGrandy!
Ick. The Meeks are so sleazy...
Didn't the criminal Stackhouse give Carrie Meek a SUV? Her son, Kendrick, never asked his Mom how she got the new car?
Carrie Meek takes money from rock miners? So they can blow up the Everglades? Please...
Does Carrie Meek even realize DeGrandy's role in disenfranchising African American voters in the 2000 and 2004 elections, through his lobbying for state purchase of electronic voting machines... and THIS is the person she relies on... ? Someone should point her in the direction of a good library.
