Yay! My home city made the national news! </snark>. Christian Ziegler pushed the Sarasota County Commission to put a citizen's referendum on the ballot to make the Commission seats at-large seats, rather than by district. He figured the suburban votes would sweep it to victory. It was defeated! He tried again, this time with a special election, counting on low turnout to get the win, and it was defeated again! He chose to not run for re-election after that.
Bridget has been a piece of work on the School Board, so much so that even other conservatives on the board have turned against her, even before this story broke. Our public schools here are some of the best in Florida, and the parents here are pretty involved, usually, except they went to sleep during the last school board election, which is how Bridget got her seat. Nobody is sleeping now.
The next public school board meeting, needless to say, will be must-see TV.

Thanks for the local insights, Andrew!
