Most of us don't have the time, money or inclination to take off for a couple of weeks in the spring to hang around the halls of government in Tallahassee where decisions that affect our lives are being made with the help of highly paid lobbyists. MOST OF US don't have friends who are county commissioners who will make the right introductions that could lead to contracts or business deals we would otherwise never have a shot at getting. And nowhere do we get more uncomfortable than at the courthouse, where even the appearance of a cozy relationship sours us on a judicial system already marked in red on the suspicious list. In October the agency filed charges against Holloway, accusing her of interfering in a custody case involving a friend. That case is scheduled for trial in June.
Life is already cloudy enough down at the courthouse.
