Hillsborough County Commissioner Rhonda Storms is a pretty unique politician. She does speak her mind and is consistent with her voting. I like her style - sometimes.
BUT it is her substance that gets all out of whack. She seems totally unconcerned about the possibility that her stand against supporting Gay Pride might be deemed as discriminatory.
Whether or not you agree with her stand, you should be concerned about her attitude. And concerned with her effort to rush through her position without any prior discussion or input. The speed and lack of deliberation on behalf of the commission members sure smells of a planned conspiracy.
Did the other commissioners know this was coming ? If so, when and how ? Was this a violation of the Sunshine Law ? Will we ever know ?
The GLB coalition has now implemented a plan to support merchants that support their cause by posting a sticker on their front door. My history education brings to mind too many times that a marked door was used to discriminate and to persecute.
I hope our County Commission will learn how to unify rather than divide. This would be something we could all be proud of.
