Progress Florida Questions Haridopolos Book
June 27th, 2011 by flanews70 people have purchased a book written by Florida’s Senate President Mike Haridopolos. The sales have brought in four hundred and eighty-eight dollars for Brevard Community College, the state school that paid Haridopolos 150-thousand dollars to write the book. Progress Florida, a left leaning political group, began investigating the sales a few months ago, after the deal between Haridopolos and the college was brought to light and critics claimed the book wasn’t that good. Damian Filer, the group’s political director says taxpayers are being ripped off.
“He controls the first rings of this state, and I think the taxpayers have a right to know that while he cutting funding for our schools, he’s putting money from the schools to his pocket,” said Filer.
The book is called Florida History and Legislative Processes. It’s 175-pages double spaced and it’s eBook version is for sale on Amazon for ten dollars.
