We have some politicians in Lake County who lack the courage to come forward and explain their actions. They believe that we the voters are to dumb and busy struggling to get by in our daily lives to really hold them accountable.
They are praying that if they can just get through to election day ignoring the allegations they can survive.
If they will not explain their actions they do not deserve to be re-elected. Do really want to be governed by those that lack courage?
If we fail to hold them accountable and they get re-elected, its our own fault.
Jimmy Conner your silence is an admission of guilt.
Please answer:
1. Did you take $500 from Long & Scott Farms while the airport zoning issue was pending before you for a vote?
2. Did you take money from the individual that wanted a light at Summit Greens while the matter was before you for a vote?

7. Did you collect $2,000 from Montverde Academy officials and help them get a county resolution through the Board of Commission on a bonding issue?
8. Did you collect $8,000 from Electric Services, Inc and get around the $500 campaign limit by recording 15 of its employees as the doners?
9. Did you collect donations from over 30 out of County Business's doing business with Lake County, taking jobs away from our local contractors?
These actions of Jimmy Conner, treating his position as if it is his own business, should bother all of us. The fact that his party leaders are aware of his actions and still endorse him is troubling.
Our Country can do better, but it will not happen until we purge ourselves of the politicians like Jimmy Conner.
