Wow. Be careful what your yard sign says or the Gestapo will get you.

There is no such financial disclosure law. The DA here must want to, or know someone who wants to, get in the "unified" schools bonanza. Typical government chicanery.

Written in fine Sharpie Marker in the corner of the "Yes!" signs..."paid for by the people of Lakeland." Or buy your signs and write, "Paid for by ME!"

Straight from the playbook of Mussolini,the founder of Italian Fascism, some attempt to use their perceived power to sick the DA's office to suppress opposing views. Bomprezzi should be ashamed. Let the people vote. Afterward, a judge can suppress the people's will.
