Ken Pruitt touts Gayle Harrell

Florida Senate President Ken Pruitt is sure to be back in the district this afternoon, since he's guest starring at a $100-a-plate fundraiser for state Rep. Gayle Harrell who is running for the spot to unseat Democratic Congressman Tim Mahoney.

But first, Harrell faces a three-way race in the Aug. 26th Republican primary, as she's running against Palm Beach City Council member Hal Valeche and political newcomer Tom Rooney. Our sister publication, CQ, rates that race as "no clear favorite."

You mean she can do better than Pruitt? Most of his money comes from gaming interests.

Gayle, give it up. You are not a powerhouse or dynamic. Where is Joe Negron when you need him?

Anyone who thinks that Gayle can't succeed needs to wisen up. She'd be a phenomenal Congresswoman.

And Gayle wont get out of the box , even if she wins the GOP nomination. Because, without St Lucie's knowledge, their water supply is about to become contaminated. And Gayle as Representative, and AARP Mike Twomey and PSC Argenziano have had numerous meetings to PROMOTE the Florida Gas Storage project.

The problem is, it wont make our natural gas electric fuel bill go down. There is not a supply and demand rationale for the state of Florida.AARP Mike Twomey has been promoting this site, as he was paid by this company, an ex ENRON employee is president.

Gayle must not be real bright, but all of her meetings are logged on the FERC documents received by the company. This is the US STEEL SUPERFUND SITE that was condemned. Jeb Bush and Romney have something in common all right. They both asked for approval for building of condemned land tracts for big business..

Romney Mass-WOBURN SITEin 2006, and Jeb several sites in Florida! And the US Steel site only had 5-10% bore drillings to review any additional contamination that was not identified over 20 years ago by the EPA.

Even worse, there is 100,000 TONS of contaminated dirt with plastic bags over it , patheitc protection. In fact, Florida Gas storage wants to dig up 75 of 150 acres of the land for building, so where are you going to put the contaminated dirt!?

There is massive cadmium, a cancerous causing chemical, that causes breast cancer. And this site sits on top of the underground potable water supply of St Lucie County. This county already had a 20 year review from FP&L's dumping of nuclear sludge waste, in garbage dump sites and down drains. Nancy LaVista atty still had an appeals in federal court for the leukemia and rare brain tumors this Stronium 90 caused this area's children.

So what makes you think Gayle Harrel is out of the box a winner? Mahoney already has this information, I sent it to him.

...and Mahoney said, Peg, it will come back to you.
Your senses, I mean.

Gayle can't raise the cash to compete with Mahoney.

Rooney can't raise the votes to compete with Mahoney.

Gayle Harrell for Congress!!!
LOVE IT!
Do you honestly think Mahoney has done his job at representing the people of District 16? PLEASE! I was born and raised in that district and I know for damn sure that sub-human considered a man has done NOTHING for his constituents!
Now Gayle Harrell on the other hand, she is the one person in that district who has STRONGLY represented her constituents, you can ask ANYONE in her district what they think of Gayle Harrell and you will never hear a bad word of her. She has brought nothing but prosperity and good services to the counties of St. Lucie and Martin. They should all be on their knees to Gayle Harrell thanking her for her genuine services to them!
Gayle Harrell will and has my vote!!!
