You have to give people something to dream on. - Jimi Hendrix County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle has the usual suspects giving to the tune of $290,735 - he raised almost $20,000 since August 20th. More interesting are his expenses. First he bought a generator for $500. Who buys a generator for a campaign? He paid FP&L almost $900, so he is paying for electric. I asked a friend who works on campaigns, and he said he never heard of anyone buying a generator for a campaign. Rolle also spent $1,251.04 on CD cases. Please someone get me a copy of the CD he put in them. Probably it is some off-the-wall "Ya Done Good" takeoff. Seriously, I need the CD if you happen upon it. He paid someone named Damon Rolle $12,000 to manage the campaign office. Dorrin spent $534 on food August 6th. Hmmm. I know he is a big guy but that is a lot of food. He did lump the food in with office expenses. Now we know why the county budget is so hard to figure out, Rolle has his hands in it and his accounting practices suck.
Rolle's opponent, Jean Monestime raised a modest $12,590 during the same period. His total collected is $50,095. He is more frugal on the food, he spent $150 on what he called a "banquet."

He's running his campaign like Jessca! I can't believe the stupid voters in his district if they re elect him. They deserve what they get, which is nothing. He has the most neglected district in all of this County and they seem to put up with it.
I see Bell's is up too now. Lots of rock-mining and charter schools. Hmm.
Yea, I saw the Bell report this morning. Lot's from the development/construction industry too. Under occupation, she put A, AB, AS...........what does that stand for? I thought Shubin & Bass already gave her $500 from their firm (remember, they represented Atlantic Civil), plus each personally.

the links are annoying...this post is about ROLLE not BELL.
Genius: Rolle's voters are African American voters who either read the Miami Times or Haitians who listen to Pima Bouk or Radio Mega.
If your readers want to help send $$ to Jeans so that he can pay for a story in the Miami Time.
So Monestime raised $12,590 and Flinn Raised $4,510.
What is wrong with this picture??????
