The one thing I like about the Patch is that they are unbiased and want the voters to know both sides of each candidate, unlike The Tampa Bay Times and The Tampa Tribune that want an incumbent in office at any cost. Even though I showed both papers proof of the unethical conduct that went on in October of last year with Paula O"Neil, the current clerk of court, they printed stories about me that are false and misleading in many ways. They don't care about the people as long as they get an incumbent in office no matter what. They declined to tell you the positive things I plan to do for you, which includes cutting half of the $140,00 a year salary and give it back to YOU, the people of the county. They also want you to believe I am running against O'Neil for vengeance, which is completely misleading. If it hadn't been for the unethical conduct of O'Neil in the first place, I would not be running for office developing a plan to be 100% for the people. Not only that, but both papers know that O'Neil is wastefully spending your money and they do not want you to know about it. How unfortunate is that? I never realized how untruthful The Tampa Bay Times and The Tampa Tribune really are until I had to experience it for myself.

The salary is almost $140,000 a year and I plan to give back almost $70,000 a year to the people of the county. I wanted to clarify this since I left off an extra 0 in the article above.

It is $140,000. I left off a 0 by mistake.
