April Griffin is a Democrat, Not a Non-Partisan

Democrat April Griffin, in her role as a non-partisan school board member, has endorsed every local, state, and federal Democrat candidate looking for a glad-hand. I believe the only winner has been County Commissioner Kevin Beckner.

I guess she thinks her office gives her some cherished power.

I wonder now, how will this non-partisan Democrat be received by future donors…as well as our local inquisitive press?

Last election, April was able to woo the late Ralph Hughes, who gave her a few thousand bucks for the primary and general elections. She also received some nice donations from east county Republicans.

I will admit here, April does have those Charlie Crist brass ones, and will ask anyone at anytime for help. I remember her showing up a couple of times at the Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee meetings in 2006 handing out literature and trying to be so non-partisan. I doubt that will happen this year.

In the past 2008 school board campaign, she also endorsed one sitting member (guess who), and other running against an incumbent.

I wonder, in the future of this year's campaign, will any lazy reporter actually ask her if Democrat roots guide her decisions as a "policy maker" for our school board?

One good question might be: "As a lifetime Democrat, do you believe you've ever deceived voters by calling yourself a "non-partisan" and never admitting to being a registered Democrat?"

I also wonder: What else have you lied about?

More soon!
