It does seem that sheriff Nocco likes to see his pic in the papers any chance he can . Some people think this is the case just untill the election is over ? Iam not sure about that ? What I do know is unlike sheriff White , sheriff Nocco seems to be very interested in arresting the prescription drug dealers and has done well in my opinion with this. The only problem I have as we speak with sheriff Nocco is that he is a republican . The republicans have fought against a prescription drug database for years . Sen Fasano another rep, under pressure from many people , fought for a database and got a watered down version passed. However its not mandatory for the doctors to use it . They say only 2% of doctors are using it ??? This is the only way the reps would pass this law and refused to let the tax payers fund it . I believe this was an effort to see it go away . Why are the reps protecting the doctors ? President Obama said a few years ago he would work on a national drug database that would be mandatory for the doctors to use . Why would the reps not do the same in Florida? Why are the drug companies being protected along with the doctors ? A mandatory database is a no brainer that would take many prescription drugs off our streets . Pasco county is the worst of 67 counties for this abuse.

For those of us that don’t know much about Romney, it is very informative that those people that do know him well – the residents of Massachusetts and the leaders of Salt Lake City, the largest city in the Mormon led state of Utah -- favor Obama.
Most Massachusetts Residents Support Obama, According to Latest Polls

The largest daily newspaper in Mormon Church led-Utah, the Salt Lake City Tribune, has endorsed Obama; in their editorial, the paper complained that there are "too many (different) Mitts." (We never know which "Mitt will show up." )

Seems wise to follow their lead, if I dare say.

Beth:
Who is paying you to post this stuff? You are from Florida, but you post on several Patch sites outside of Florida. Most notably, you posted pretty much the same comment on the Exeter, NH, Alpharetta, GA, Plymouth, MN, Chesterfield, MO, Vienna, VA, Waukesha, WI, and several other Patch sites around the US.

How much are they paying, and how does one get such a job?
