Welcome back to Idiot of the Week! Since there are so many of them we had to feature 2 today. One for sexual harassment against several women, and the other for spending a LOT of Florida TAXPAYER money so he can live the high life.
Be aware of these fools, so you can vote the 2nd one OUT next election. The first one fortunately resigned.

IDIOT #1 - State Sen. Jack Latvala quits in face of corruption investigation, possible expulsion

| State Sen. Jack Latvala quits |
Dec. 20- Miami Herald:- Facing a public
corruption investigation and possible expulsion from the Florida Senate,
Jack Latvala resigned Wednesday, a day after a retired judge concluded
that he likely violated state corruption laws by trading legislative
favors for physical contact and for sexually harassing and groping
multiple women.
Latvala, 66, of Clearwater, a longtime Tampa Bay leader and Republican candidate for governor, sent a letter of resignation to Senate President Joe Negron in an abrupt and dramatic end to a controversial career that spanned three decades. Latvala’s resignation, effective at midnight Jan. 5, 2018 followed a revelation in retired Judge Ronald Swanson’s 33-page report, reportedly documented by explicit text messages from the senator over the past three years, that he agreed to support a lobbyist’s agenda if she would have sex with him or let him touch her in a sexual manner.
IDIOT #2 - FLORIDA HOUSE SPEAKER RICHARD CORCORAN’S BIG
GOP Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran
SPENDING
GOP Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran lives the high
life. He’s raising big money for the state Republican Party and his political
committee, and the cash is being spent on junkets to Napa Valley, charter
planes and steak dinners. Lots of steak dinners.
A review of the Republican Party of Florida’s finances by
Tampa Bay Times reveals how money largely raised from special interests fuels
Corcoran’s high-priced political operation. There’s an $8,000 dinner tab at
California’s French Laundry restaurant, more than $400,000 for charter planes,
more than $26,000 at steakhouses such as Morton’s and Ruth’s Chris — and $1,000
for cufflinks. Corcoran’s primary political operative has been reimbursed more
than $1.5 million for party expenses billed to his credit card. Corcoran
remains remarkably unrepentant. http://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article190692764.html#emlnl=Morning_Newsletter#storylink=cpy
SIDE NOTE ABOUT CORCORAN- He's Driving Elected Officials of his own party OUT:
SIDE NOTE ABOUT CORCORAN- He's Driving Elected Officials of his own party OUT:
This year, nine Republican members of the Florida House of
Representatives eligible for reelection have either left the House or
plan to run for another office.
Several have cited conflicts with House Speaker Richard Corcoran,
objecting to what they call his dictatorial leadership style. Some say
that relationship with Corcoran factored in their decisions to leave.
Several of the departing legislators were among those who voted against
top Corcoran priorities in the 2017 legislative session, including a
bill to allow liquor sales in grocery stores and another to slash
business recruiting and tourism promotions programs.
