During last night's City Commission meeting and the seemingly endless discussion where Commissioner Jennings tried her best to prove a negative (how the Planning, Zoning, Historic Resource Preservation Board somehow lacked a piece of substantial, competent evidence in rendering their decisions re the Gulfstream Hotel), I approached Annabeth Karson.
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Karson, she is what I would call a senior adviser to Commissioner Jennings - essentially the Carl Rove equivalent in Cara's world. When I pointed out to her the contributions made by Charles Celi to the Jennings and Mulvehill campaigns, she responded that wasn't pay to play. Something like, "It's only pay-to-play if you make money."
Hmmmm.
