The Sarasota Phoenix team is the last guardian in Sarasota of the vital fourth estate. While the rest of local, mainstream media outlets have been overtaken by profit driven directives, the Sarasota Phoenix is the only local media outlet laying bare for all to see how Sarasota local government is operating like a Latin American Junta.

THE SARASOTA RINO PARTYf CANDIDATES ON DISPLAY AT RECENT YOUNG REPUBLICAN MEETING
Mast
Sarasota County RINO Party 2024 candidates were on full display last Tuesday, as the Sarasota County Young Republicans hosted Sarasota County Commission RINO candidate for District 1, Terese Mast.
Rose
Among Mast supporters in attendence at the event was Sarasota County School Board RINO candidate for District 2, Karen Rose.
Rainford
Also, in attendance giving support to Mast was Sarasota County Commission RINO candidate for District 3, Neil Rainford.
Marinelli
Giving support to Mast was another Sarasota County School Board member Robyn Martinelli, who is part of the Rose/Edwards/ Marinelli majority School Board coalition replacing the former Shirley Brown/Jane Goodwin/Edwards majority School Board coalition.
Rose/Edwards/Marinelli
Both Rose and Marinelli denied that they were part of any RINO/DINO coalition to replace a previous RINO/DINO coalition in control of the Sarasota County School Board. Tell that denial to the many thousands of conservatives, who elected Rose and Marinelli to the School Board.
Jerde
Better yet, let Rose and Marinelli tell that denial to the smiling faces of the Democrats at the local DEC, LGBTQ political operative and the leaders of multimillion dollar Foundations headed by Roxie Jerde.
THE REC/DEC UNWRITTEN AGREEMENT
The RINO candidates at the YR function are part of a local Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (REC) and the Sarasota County Democrat Executive Committee (DEC) unwritten agreement.
An agreement to allow a DINO/RINO coalition to control the Sarasota County School Board and Sarasota City Government, while RINO controlled all other Sarasota County political offices.
Robinson
ACLU President Michael Barfield/RINO Christine Robinson/DINO Suzanne Atwell/RINO Paul Caragiulo/DINO Hagen Brody
In the City of Sarasota since 2015 nobody gets elected unless endorsed by the DIN0, RINO, LGBTQ organizations and the “Pay to Play” developers hanging out at Argus Foundation, where RINO Christine Robinson is Executive Director.
Neal
In Sarasota County all politicians like Rainford and Mast are handpicked by “Pay to Play” near criminal gangster developers like Pat Neal and Carlos Beruff.
Waechter
After kissing the rings of Neal and Beruff, political operatives like Bob Waechter and Ybor City based political operative Anthony Pedicini are assigned to run the campaigns of candidates like Mast and Rainford.
After kissing various developers’ rings and assigned political operatives there are campaign donations from the developers and their cronies stuffed in the pockets of RINO candidates like Mast and Rainford.
Mast has recently received over $194,000 from Neal and his cronies, while Rainford who has just been appointed by Florida Govenor Ron DeSantis can expect similar amounts in the next few days. The money is stuffed in those pockets is to make it known to any possible opponent of Neal, Beruff, Randy Benderson, Rex Jensen and other mafia type gangsters that there is much more to come if anyone desire to take on Mast or Rainford.
Beruff
In Manatee County recently, 171, $1,000 contributions for a total of $171,000 came to the re-election campaign of Kevin Van Ostenbridge, who is the Chairman of the Manatee County Commission. Van Ostenbridge is the handpicked mouthpiece of Beruff and Pedicini and takes orders directly from from the two running Manatee County.
$171,000 STUFFED INTO THE RE-ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN OF MANATEE COUNTY COMMISSION BY FOUR MAFIA TYPE "FAMILIES"
Van Ostenbridge
Neal gave 20, $1,000 contributions for $20,000; Rex Jensen gave 10, $1,000 contributions for $10,000; Carlos Beruff gave 10, 1,000 contributions for $10,000; Randy Benderson gave 10, $1,000 contributions for $10,000; Mark Vengroff gave 10, $1,000 contributions for $10,000--totaling $60,000 from five individuals for Van Ostenbridge.
Van Ostenbridge was one of seven gangster developers handpicked candidates, who Pedicini wrapped a flag around and put a Bible in their hands to stuff in the pockets of developers and cronies turning Manatee County into Paradise Lost.
What is comical is that Mast and Rainford egos believe they were picked by merit. As anyone, who been around the local corrupt political scene know that Mast and Rainford were picked by kissing numerous rings of the Neal gangsters, who run Sarasota County government.
Rainford actually believes he was picked by Governor DeSantis to replace the deceased Sarasota County Commissioner Nancy Detert, due to his qualifications.
I unfortunately broke the bad news to Rainford, which is after he kissed Godfather Neal’s ring, Neal put the word into DeSantis that Rainford was his “boy.”
JON MAST KNOWS THE SCAM GOING ON WITH THE NEAL GANG
Someone sitting in the corner of the YR meeting taking in this RINO gathering was Jon Mast, who is the husband of Teresa Mast. Jon Mast has been around long enough to know, who does the picking of who is be a Sarasota County Commission and knows it has nothing to do with merit and qualifications.
Pedicini
Mast was recently attempted to be selected by Pedicini and Beruff to replace Scott Hopes as Manatee County Administrator. It did not work out due to appointing Mast, who is CEO of the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association would be like putting the fox into guard the chicken coup.
By the way, if anyone doesn’t know why the DeSantis campaign is in the dumpster and his advisors can’t handle prime time, it is that DeSantis picked a RINO like Rainford, whose only leadership capabilities in leading a grassroots organization is leading a horse to water.
SURROUNDED BY RINO
By the way, this reporter was asked by Dan Miller, who is husband of Rose to sit for a picture with the RINO in attendance supporting Mast. I obliged, it being a unique experience to be surrounded by so many RINOS.
NO SHT REPORTERS CHECKING OUT RINO
No Sarasota Herald Tribune reporters was checking on the RINO gathering in Downtown Sarasota, just like no SHT reporters at the communist PSL parade in Downtown Sarasota a few months ago.
Just like the SHT head in the sand for 40 years, as Bishop Henry Porter molesting children in his Downtown School and Church only blocks from SHT office.
THE BEAT GOES ON
The beat goes on as the evilness continues to grow in Sarasota, as a outside looks so inviting, while the inside is corroded and rotting.
