More problems For Good Time Charlie Crist

Greer's lawyer says Crist signed off on fund-raising deal, that Crist said he knew nothing about:

Gov. Charlie Crist personally signed off on his former Republican party chairman's confidential fundraising role with the state party – according to Jim Greer's attorney, whose allegation contradicts the governor's statement that he "didn't know anything'' about the deal now part of a criminal investigation.

State investigators say Greer and the party's former executive director, Delmar W. Johnson III, secretly set up a shell company called Victory Strategies to divert party money and enrich themselves. Greer was charged Wednesday with fraud and money laundering.

But Greer's attorney, Damon Chase, said Saturday that the deal giving them a 10 percent cut of party donations was legal. What's more, Chase said Crist's former right-hand man, now U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, first proposed the idea that they earn a fundraising commission to save the party money and replace the $30,000-a-month contract with fundraiser Meredith O'Rourke.

"You guys work hard. You deserve it,'' Chase said Greer was told by the governor as they played pool in February 2009 at a Palm Beach golf tournament.

Crist, an independent candidate for Florida's open U.S. Senate seat, said Saturday that he didn't know about Victory Strategies until after Greer resigned in January. He said he knew Greer wanted to replace O'Rourke with Johnson, but was unaware that they set up a separate company and that Greer had a stake in it.

Gov Crist's Folly

In a nutshell, another liberal pipe dream. Freeze rates on hurricane insurance, but one flaw, good time Gov Charlie Crist can't freeze the risk. And insurance companies are not going to operate where the payment is fixed and the risk is varied. The bigger flaw, the freebie, is that if the premiums don't cover the damage, the taxpayers must.

Soon after entering office, Charlie fulfilled his promise to cut hurricane premiums by turning state-run Citizens Property Insurance into a coastal welfare agency. He froze rates, selling policies at discounts.

The problem with a welfare program is that the longer it goes on, the harder it is to wean people off it.

But that is the mission of a state panel, which is coming up with recommendations to undo Charlie's meddling in the insurance market before he bankrupts the state.

The old freebie ruse to win election, anyone else know someone who recently did this? What was that promise, which one, you know the 95% will get tax cuts? Hah ..

So now the state of Florida representatives are saying no. By making citizens a competitor of the commercial market and the rates welfare rate low, people canceled there regular insurance, as suddenly the State run Citizens became a better deal, rates were frozen remember.

What they are saying in a nutshell is , there is no free lunch. Quick someone inform Pelosi and Obama, the SCHIP free lunch just passed. And here even illegals children up to age 30 get free health care. Smoke if you got them, we need you to keep smoking and get your buddies to start smoking. You see, cigarette taxes fund this joke.

And people wonder why Gov Crist is lobbying for the porkulus.
