I had lunch with some high ranking state elected officials in the republican party with ties to the Speaker and the governors office... I asked them what really happened... They said, Norman Braman and other high profile billionaire republicans killed the deal and scared Weatherford... They said Braman and his coalition warned Ross beforehand if he tried to fast track it through legislation they would kill it, Ross arrogantly ignored them and blew them off..
What scared the politicians is they were convinced that Braman and his coalition are locals and here to stay for the long term and Ross is not... Also Braman and friends have a much more brutal reputation then Ross at taking out politicians.. They referenced some mayor in Dade that Braman personally destroyed his political career... They said Ross is very much an outsider in Florida politics, while Braman and his coalition are very well versed.... They said Ross was very naive going about it as he did.... They said ultimately Ross didnt have the votes or support from either side of the isle.... Should have shelved for another session... The killing was more a sediment from Braman and coalition to embarrass Ross for ignoring their stern warning... They wanted him to know why....They said the group that was opposing Ross does not mess around at all and are extremely feared...

Interesting post Crowder.

Thanks for the scoop.

Guess its nothing we didn't already know. Our owner may be rich ,but he's a light weight. No one really respects him. In order to get some respect I guess he needs to do what Braman threatened to do. Kill Weatherfords political career. Dee is trying to do just that. They take down Weatherford other politicians will think twice before giving him a orange and Aqua enema.
