 I’ve gotten to be pretty good friends with our Sheriff of Broward County, Al Lamberti. I was telling him yesterday of my concerns over the jailing of so many of Broward County kids, just talking about some of the scary statistics. He too, has been telling citizen groups of the fact that Broward County leads ALL 67 counties in Florida in jail population, so this wasn’t news to him at all. What we discovered together was the fact that Florida now leads the nation in per capita prison population, finally “beating” California, Texas and New York in percentage of people incarcerated! |

Well, we've made it through and we finally have our two candidates to choose from to lead our country for the next four years. Or do we? My friend Mike Bates, WEBY program director, tells me that Hillary Clinton isn't really out of the picture just yet. In fact, Mike was willing to bet me that Hillary (or her husband Bill) will try to pull some sort of shenanigans at the Democratic Convention Aug. 25-28 in Denver. Is that really possible?
