Mouthpieces of Sarasota UNI Party-Edwards/Neal/Brill
THERE IS NO TWO-PARTY SYSTEM IN SARASOTA - JUST A LOCAL REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT PARTY MERGED INTO A CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT UNI-PARTY
Members of the UNI Party who have turned City Hall into a Shit Show (Michael Barfield/Christine Robinson/Kevin Cooper/Suzanne Atwell/Paul Caragiulo/Hagen Brody)
The UNI Party has turned City Hall into a total SHIT SHOW controlled by Christine Robinson at the Argus Foundation and David Merrill III at the Icard Merrill law firm under the watchful eye of the City Commission puppet master, Sarasota City Manager Marlon Brown.
Chapman/Normile/Zimmerman
Ever since 2015 when establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats joined together and formed the UNI Party to take out grassroot candidates, Eileen Normile and Stan Zimmerman and Susan Chapman in in 2018 the two-party system in Sarasota came to an end.
Battie's white social elitists supporters at the Tara on the Bay Selby Gardens
In 2020 the Uni Party turned Sarasota City Government into a complete Shit Show when the UNI Party led by Jennifer Romiemicki and her white social elitists at the Tara on the Bay Selby Gardens elected Kyle Battie, who they could stuff in their pockets to defeat City Commissioner Willie Shaw, who voted against Selby Gardens proposed $90 million parking garage and restaurant.
Battie the UNI Party candidate they found riding on his bicycle bar hoping in Downtown Sarasota
Battie, the unregistered masseur had no problem being stuffed in the pockets of the white social elite to approve the $90 million parking garage and restaurant where the white social elite could party hardy. No problem for Battie that the structure was a major outrageous intrusion into the surrounding neighborhoods.
The $90 million parking garage and restaurant eyesore on Osprey Avenue, which destroyed the ambiance of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Jerde
Another major part of the Sarasota UNI Party are the numerous local multimillion dollar foundations led by Roxie Jerde of the Community Foundation of Sarasota. Other foundatinsa are The Charles & Margagery Barancik Foundation/The Patterson Foundation/The Gulf Coast Foundation/The Maria Selby Foundation.
For all those folks, who believe there is a two-party system, especially those so-called liberal progressive Democrats in Sarasota, who think of themselves as the best and the brightest, I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no two-party system. It is just a one-party UNI-Party made up of establishment Democrats and establishment Republicans.
A UNI-Party, which includes a local REC managed by Jack Brill, Bob Waechter and the Pat Neal "Pay to Play" developer flunkies, who control the political and financial power in Sarasota.
A UNI Party leader -Edwards
Past UNI Party leaders DeVries/Farrendino/Jennings
Those folks, who recently parachuted into Sarasota haven't a clue that the local DEC for years under former Chairwomen Rita Farrendino, Christine Jennings, Joanne DeVries and now Tom Edwards, who now controls the local SDEC are part of a UNI-Party that has had no problem jumping in bed with Brill, the 12-year former Democrat Florida State Senator Pat Neal and his fellow "Pay to Play" developers.
Edwards and his LGBTQ agenda fits nicely into the UNI-Party, as they could care less that the "Pay to Play" developers have turned the City of Sarasota, as they have Sarasota County Government into Paradise Lost and one huge parking lot, while making $millions for Neal and his fellow "Pay to Play" developers.
Edward's supporters at GCBX are made up of developers and contractors who build the homes and the shopping centers for Neal, Randy Benderson, Carlos Beruff, Rex Jensen and other "Pay to Play" developers, who have turned Sarasota County Government and Sarasota City Government into a UNI-Party Shit Show.
These liberal Democrat progressives are clueless in understanding they have become members of the UNI-Party. A UNI-Party that is in bed with the Brill/Waechter led local REC, Neal, GCBX, Rexi Jerde and her band of local multimillion dollar foundations, who control the political and financial power in Sarasota.
These liberal progressive political neophytes have no clue they are being used by Edwards and LGBTQ political operatives to push their agenda from the “INSIDE”, which are all part of the local UNI-Party agenda, which has turned the City of Sarasota into an enclave for the wealthy, white social elite.
UNI-PARTY RACIALLY GENTRIFYING NORTH SARASOTA
This UNI-Party, which has control of the Sarasota City Commission, has turned the once African America neighborhood of Overtown into an enclave of wealthy white elite.
As Overtown has been racially gentrified the racial gentrification of north Sarasota neighborhoods continue led by the flunky of the white establishment, Commissioner Kyle Battie.
Battie rather be seen with Ybor City bar owners in Downtown Sarasota rather than with the icons of the Sarasota Newtown community like Jetson Grimes and the former Mayors of the City Sarasota Fred Atkins and Willie Shaw.
A VIBRANT POLITICAL SYSTEM DESTROYED BY THE UNI-PARTY
Atkins/Grimes/Shaw
Grimes, Atkins and Shaw were part of a once vibrant political system that existed in the City of Sarasota that has been destroyed. A very non partisan election process that was based on neighborhood preservation and electing the most qualified candidates, be they Democrat or Republican.
LGBTQ political operative Gabriel Hament with UNI Party members Paul Caraguilo/Joe Barbetta/Michael Barfield/Suzanne Atwell
An election system destroyed by LGBTQ Democrat political operatives like Gabriel Hament, along with fellow Democrat Suzanne Atwell, Republican Paul Caragiulo and Joe Barbetta, the 68-count CONVICTED felon Michael Barfield and their cronies in forming the Sarasota UNI-Party.
This UNI-Party is being led by political operatives from the LGBTQ community, registered Democrats and Republicans, million dollar "Pay to Play" developers, Foundation executives, local establishment attorneys, among others turning Sarasota into Paradise Lost and bringing massive urban sprawl to the area.
UNI-PARTY ELECTS THE UNQUALIFIED
Members of the UNI-Party could care less about electing the most qualified City Commissioners. Their major concern is to elect only those who were endorsed by organizations like Equality Florida and the West Coast Builders Exchange.
Three of the most unqualified UNI-Party City Commissioners ever elected were Eric Arroyo, Hagen Brody, and Battie.
Since 2015, no one has been elected to the Sarasota City Commission who was not endorsed by the LGBTQ Community, Equality Florida, the Argus Foundation, or the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, which has resulted in the election of some the most unqualified individuals ever elected to the City Commission.
THE UNI-PARTY HAS CORRUPTED SARASOTA
Not only have the Sarasota City Commissioners, dominated by the UNI-Party, elected unqualified candidates, but a "FOR SALE" sign has been placed in front of City Hall. A FOR SALE sign which one New York City developer, after working with the Commission, remarked that in all his years of handling development projects nationwide, the level of corruption he experienced in Sarasota was the "WORST" he had ever encountered.
EDWARDS PUSHING THE LGBTQ AGENDA "FROM THE INSIDE" BECOMES THE FACE OF THE SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
Battie's LGBTQ political operatives -- George Thurlow/Gabriel Hament/Ed James III
LGBTQ operatives involved in the UNI-Party takeover of City Hall have now gotten involved with the Sarasota School Board following Edwards major focus of promoting a LGBTQ agenda within the Sarasota County Schools.
These nefarious Edwards followers are little concerned about the welfare of the children and quality of education in Sarasota schools, but are only concerned about advancing their major objective of promoting the LGBTQ agenda, as Edwards has stated -- "WORKING FROM THE INSIDE.".
SOS leader Lisa Schurr with her SOS followers
These clueless "liberal" Democrats, like Lisa Schurr and her SOS members, have no idea that they have actually gotten in bed with Jack Brill and the establishment REC Republican involved in the Sarasota UNI Party.
Schurr and her SOS gang have no idea, as they partied with Charlie Crist at a recent Democrat event, that Crist has been in the pockets of Neal and his cronies for years, just as Govrnor Ron DeSantis has been.
Schurr demonstrating at a recent Sarasota County School Board meeting
A recent SOS member stated attacking Edwards detractors stated she will not have America First movement activists like Connie Brunni or Michelli Pozzie have anything to do with public school children, as they don't have children in public schools. That SOS member said nothing about Edwards and his husband not having children in public schools.
Porter two years before arrested at a $8 million addition to Jacobs' Westcoast Black Threatre
UNI-PARTY BURIES PORTER-GROOMED CHILDREN FOR HIS SEXUAL PLEASURE AT HIS DOWNTOWN SCHOOL
By the way if Edwards, SOS, the LGBTQ community and the "liberal progressive” Democrats faction of the UNI Party, who profess to be so concerned about the quality of education in Sarasota and and about the safety and welfare of our scholl childrem, especially with vouchers being given to Charter Schools, why have they gone along with the continued cover-up of "Bishop" Henry Porter grooming children at his Downtown School for Human Development for over 40 years?
DOES UNI-PARTY CARE THAT PORTER’S WESTCOAST SCHOOL OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT STILL OPERATES
The Westcoast School of Human Development in the Downtown Sarasota Giillespie Park neighborhood where Porter groomed children for his sexual pleasure is still in existence, as state funded vouchers continued to be issued to the school with NO investigation of what went on for years.
No concern that the principal of the West Coast School of Human Development, Marvin Hendon has been the rincipal of the school for over 30 years. It is incredible that Hendon is still the principal at the Westcoast School for Human Development, where it is well-documented that Porter groomed children for his sexual pleasure.
Equally incredible is Nate Jacobs, who taught at the school for 10 years while Porter molested and raped children, is receiving $millions as the founder and director of the West Coast Black Theatre named after Porter.
