Property tax referendum may get new life, say the misleaders

The Republicans may not have given up on misleading. Their leader in the state Senate, Ken Pruitt, wants to appeal Monday's ruling that declared their writing to be opaque and incomprehensible, thus striking out the Jan. 29 referendum on property taxes. Here's the Miami Herald's story on this Tuesday development.

The Herald also had a nifty column by Fred Grimm laying out the grief heaped upon Weston Mayor Eric Hersh, a Democrat, who filed the lawsuit leading to the judge's ruling. It seems a PAC funded attack ads on cable TV, rang many phones complaining about the mayor, sent out similar junk mail, etc.

Welcome to dirty politics, with plenty of money behind it.
