"PAY TO PLAY” DEVELOPER NEAL SENDS HIS MERCERNARIES TO SCHOOL BOARD TO STEAL PUBLIC LAND TO BUILD HIS TRASH FOR NEEDED CASH
Edwards
Led by Sarasota County School Board member Tom Edwards, Sarasota County School Board members were seen on 3/15/2024 kissing the ring of the notorious "Pay to Play" developer Pat Neal, whose representatives came before the UNIPARTY School Board seeking free public land.
No problem for the UNIPARTY School Board making nice to Neal representatives, who have aided Neal in stuffing local politicians in his pockets.
NEAL LOOKING TO SCHOOL BOARD FOR PUBLIC LAND TO PUMP NEEDED CASH INTO NEAL COMMUNITIES
By the way, Neal is having financial problems, as his former buyers are fleeing Neal Communities trash that Neal builds. Neal is now looking for some public land and cash from a Sarasota School Board to pump some needed cash into his Neal Communities.
Three families in a one block of a Neal Communities Development in Parish have gotten so upset with Neal Communities officials taken no action in their numerous complaints in the construction of their newly purchased homes that have put up For Sale signs and moved on taking their losses with them.
One 82-year old widow Nancy Blackmer, who lives in a Neal Community home at 10606 Morning Marsh Lane has sent the Sarasota Phoenix over a hundered pages of documentation of the problems she has with Neal Communities since moving into her home, which have not been addressed. Blackmer has put a For Sale on her Neal Communities home taking her loses and moving on.
Crofoot/Matthews
It was disgraceful to watch as Neal flunkies led by Ivory Crofoot Matthews came before the school board seeking public land to build affordable housing. For years the then Crofoot along with former Sarasota City Commissioner Hagen Brody's live in girlfriend Maryanne Grgic used to travel the state with Neal promoting Neal's political "endeavors."
EDWARDS AND GOODWIN ENDORSED TOXIC/VUGAR BRODY
Brody is the losing Sarasota County Commissioner candidate who received the support of Edwards and then UNIPARTY School Board member Jane Goodwin despite Brody, while being a Sarasota City Commissioner terrorized women employees at City Hall.
EDWARDS AND GOODWIN COULD CARE LESS IF BRODY DROPPED F BOMBS HOLDING CITY EMPLOYES HOSTAGE
By endorsing Brody, the UNIPARTY Edwards and Goodwin were willing to ignore that on 3/29/2021 Brody in a f bomb laced toxic, vulgar, violent, near roid misogynist manner held City of Sarasota women employees in a near hostage conditions for over two hours.
This how the Sarasota Herald Tribune reported Edwards and Goodwin's fellow UNIPARTY Brody's dysfunctional behavior:
"According to the various complaints, Brody stormed into City Hall yelling “to the point of being red in the face” – while also behaving in a “very bullying” manner that “frightened” those present and left them feeling as though they were in a “hostage situation.”
EDWARDS AND GOODWIN TEAMED UP WITH "THE CON MAN'S CON MAN" BARFIELD
Edwards and Goodwin joined the 68 CONVICTED felon and Con Man Con's Man, Michael Barfield in endorsing Brody. The Hit Man for the UNIPARTY donated $600 to the toxic, vulgar, violent, near roid misogynist Brody.
Moricz with Edwards where Moritz grooms' students to push LGBTQ agenda at School Board meetings
Zander Moricz, who is a Harvard dropout groomng students to push Edwards and the LGBTQ agenda at the School Board meeting was the misogynist Brody campaign manager.
One wonders if Moricz, who has been grooming students to show up at School Board to push the LGBTQ agenda will have to say about his mentor Edwards pushing Neal’s land grab of public land.
NEAL AND BRRUFF SPENT MILLIONS CORRUPTING SARASOTA AND MANATEE COUNTIES
This UNIPARTY Y School Board in dealing with Neal could care less that Neal and his crony, who is another "Pay to Play" Developer Carlos Beruff have spent millions of dirty dark PAC money corrupting Manatee and Sarasota Counties.
Edwards and fellow School members could care less to deal with Neal, who has turned the West Coast of Florida into a Banana Republic JUNTA. A Neal led JUNTA that has funneled well
over hundreds of thousands of dollars of Dirty Dark Pac Money to stuff politicians in his pockets.
Edwards and his fellow UNIPARTY School Board members will have no problem turning over public lands while Neal and his fellow "Pay to Play" gangster developer Beruff
rule supreme in corrupting local politicians and judges with Neal running Sarasota County and Beruff running Manatee County.
A UNIPARTY SCHOOL BOARD PART OF NEAL'S WEST COAST BANANA REPUBLIC
Welcome to a UNIPARTY School Board, who has no problem to a West Coast of Florida Banana Republic where Neal has his master of dirty dark PAC hit pieces out of Tallahassee Stafford Jones and the local Eric “the Prince of Dirty Dark PAC Money” Robinson funneling dirty dark PAC money to Neal’s handpicked candidates.
Pedicini
EDWARDS AND HIS UNIPARTY CRONIES NO PROBLEM WITH NEAL'S YBOR CITY OPERATIVE
Welcome to the West Coast of Florida Banana Republic where Edwards and his fellow UNIPARTY School Board members having no problem dealing with a gangster like Neal, who has funnel $thousands$ to his and Beruff's dirt bag political operative hit man from Ybor City, Anthony Pedicini.
The dirt bag, Pedicini will continue using Neal and Beruff's $thousands$ to put out hit pieces to take out Neal’s opponents running against his handpicked candidates in the 2024 election cycle.
Pedicini was the political operative of the present seven Manatee County Commissioners, who are nothing more than shrills for Beruff and Neal.
Knight
Pedicini is now a shrill for Neal and Beruff, as he is now behind an attack piece on former three term Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight running against a UNIPARTY Neal Rainford for Sarasota County Commissioner.
NEAL AND CRONIES REASON WE HAVE NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
This UNIPARTY School Board could also could care less that the reason working families are leaving Sarasota and there is no affordable housing is that working families can’t afford to live here, due to Neal’s “Pay to Play” developers’ cronies are flooding the local market with houses working folks can’t afford.
In addition, neighborhoods in Sarasota are seeing gentrification of their neighborhoods, as developers are tearing down homes of once affordable housing for working families and being replaced by homes working families cannot afford.

It seems these folks led by Schurr and Testerman seem like they have nothing better to do they play up to left wing media turning Sarasota into one big culture war Shit Show.
WORKING FOLKS LEAVING PUBLIC SCHOOLS DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND EDWARDS PUSHING WOKE AGENDA
These radical fanatics of Edwards, who could care less Edwards is sucking up to Neal false narrative that Neal desires to provide afforable housing are also pushing Edwards false narrative that students are leaving local public schools because of vouchers being provided by the Florida state legislature.
They are leaving due to their parents can’t afford to live here in Sarasota. Others are leaving Sarasota public school because of Edwards public stating he is working within the local School system to push the woke agenda.
EDWARDS HOSTING YOUTH PANEL AT THE BASTION OF LEFT WING WOKE RADICALS--FORGARTYVILLE
By the way, the UNIPARTY Edwards campaign will be hosting a YOUTH PANEL at Forgartyville where Edwards made the statement that he is working from the inside to push the woke agenda. No doubt Moricz will have groomed the YOUTH PANEL on Edwards ways of how Edwards has been working on the inside to push his woke agenda.
FORGARTYVILLE FINANCED BY LEFT WING LIBERAL MULTI MILLIONAIRES IN THE CENTER OF THE ROSEMARY DISTRICT WHITE SOCIAL ELITE ENCLAVE
Keep in mind while Edwards and his UNIPARTY school members are talking about giving Neal public land, remember the Forgartyville facility, where the left-wing extremists and UNIPARTY members like Edwards are meeting is in the middle of the Rosemary District financed by left wing liberal multi-millionaires.
Testerman with Jason Champion leader of LGBTQ community, who is assisting in turning the once Black working class Overtown neighborhood into an enclave of the white social elite.
The Rosemary District where Edwards's LGBTQ supporters are part of a white social elite have turned this once Black working-class neighborhood dominated by affordable housing to where today it is impossible for working families to rent or own affordable housing.
