IT ALL EMANATES FROM HERE ….
Dear Readers …. Follow the “yellow” brick road …to the Town Hall East aka BTSTimes aka Campaign Headquarters for Comm. Jim “He’s not a nice guy or a gentleman” Silverstone – Candidate Marjorie “Clueless #2 ” Evans- Candidate Joe “McIntee is God” Couriel …and you will find the Fearmongering Furths who are spreading falsehoods and not abiding by the rules…all in their ” No holds barred'(Idiom Definitions-If there are no holds barred, there are no rules of conduct; you can do anything.) campaign to retain their power in LBTS…
First there was the door to door style fearmongering being made by the Furth-endorsed candidates and their small contingency of misinformed minions…It is said they have gone around with falsehoods of the Mayor’s contributions…actions and voting record… They are using scare tactics purposely misrepresenting the occupations of the Candidates Sasser and Vincent and tying them to actions made by previous opponents ….from the Furth’s past…
The Furths and the CIC followed this up with their invitation and letter to their mailing list (many on the list have long been non-members who have not re-upped their yearly dues)…In the letter they wrote “A big THANK YOU to the many CIC members that showed up for the January 12th Commission Meeting. It was a standing room only crowd and it must have impressed Mayor Minnet since she actually cur off Public Comment speakers that were politicking. Of course the intention was to prevent Joe Couriel and Marjorie Evans from announcing their candidacy.”
BC- Let’s be factual- Jarvis Hall was full- standing room only on Jan. 12th because of the Senior Center- not the CIC!… The true amount of CIC supporters was minimal at best and non-existent after public comments including new Candidate Evans…. You cannot have it both ways…to say the Mayor stopped the “politicking”…but then say she did not allow it for the Furth- endorsed candidates…OOPS!…Candidates were told they could not announce by Silverstone-McIntee long ago ….and the NO Guard Candidates Scot Sasser and Chris Vincent NEVER declared their candidacy at the podium…Never!…OOPS!…
FLASHBACK!… At Cristie and Marc Furth’s place on El Mar…..there are shelves of old campaign stuff…and they pull em’ off those shelves every couple of years…This year is no exception… “The Old Guard/Unite Our Town folks will spare no expense to regain power and control LBTS once again as they did for 14 years. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW if we are to preserve what years of efforts by citizens have accomplished toward preserving our small- town charm and special quality of life. “.. YIKES!….
BC- Saw that one.. They used that one…and it worked…EXCEPT…Candidates Sasser and Vincent were not here 14 years ago…Candidates Sasser and Vincent are No Guard…and Candidates Minnet, Sasser and Vincent are also for keeping the small-town charm …as the voters voted for …OOPS!….

MC-FURTH TIMES ….LOCAL NEWS YOU CAN’T TRUST …..
Yesterday they put out their latest “psycho-delic” edition of the “Local News You Can’t Trust”……1 week behind schedule…and chalk full of Furth Fractured Fairytales….. and some election time no-nos…
………………………………………….
OPENING UP PANDORA’S BOX? …..
1. On the cover the Furths are stating the Candidates are- “Marjorie Evans Commissioner/ Joe Couriel Mayor”…M.I. A. the required “FOR” ….OOPS!… The Candidates did the same on their signs…OOPS!…
2. Christie Furth FALSELY writes the “Unite our Town Political Committee – (UOT) Under Investigation”… She writes “A complaint was filed and probable cause was found- so the State is now proceeding with a full investigation”…
BC- Christie ought to know by now after watching Silverstone and McIntee go through quite a few “Full investigations” over the last 4 years where Jimmy and Jerry were the recipients of probable cause found for each……She knows that probable cause can only be found AFTER a hearing of the full Fl. Elections Committee in Tallahassee AFTER the investigation is finished…OOPS!…
BC- If there is an investigation those who are under investigation are prevented from speaking about it…Therefore for Cristie Furth to have any information and publish it for political purposes….shows that it is either the Furths and/or their BFFs who have made the complaint…OOPS!…
BC- The Florida Elections Commission does not take kindly to complainants who thwart their inquiries in print for political purposes and usually find a way to go after those who make such a leap!…OOPS!…
BC- According to Christie… the “more legally sufficient ALLEGATIONS” Section 106.022(1) -The complaint alleges that Unite Our Town, a political committee, failed to file with the department of state, Division of Elections, a statement of appointment for the appointment for the registered office and registered agent: and Section 106.022(3) The complaint that Unite Our Town, a political committee, made expenditures and accepted contributions without having filed with the Department of State Divisions of Elections a written statement of change of registered agent.”…It goes on to state “an online search failed to produce any record of Unite Our Town ever being registered with the State of Florida even during the 2008 municipal elections when they first became politically active.”… Christie ends with stating “the State may investigate each individual transaction for legal sufficiency including all contributions received and all expenditures paid by UOT”…
BC- How low the Mc-Furths have sunk!…It must be a joint effort from the looks of it….. The truth “deflector/ slapp -staff writer has always had problem seeing the forest through the trees…. and this one…may boomerang to the Mc-Furths and the CIC…bigtime….OOPS!….
1. UOT is registered with the Town of LBTS because UOT only deals with politics within the Town of LBTS
2. According to a source the CIC is registered with the Town of LBTS because the CIC only deals with politics in LBTS
3. According to this same source if a political organization does not deal with politics outside of the Town there is no requirement to register with the county or state…OOPS!…
4. We hear UOT is not registered with the County or the State as a political organization because UOT does not deal with County or State politics …
5. According to this same source the CIC is not registered with the County or the State as a political organization EITHER!… OOPS!….
6. According to this same source the CIC aka LBTS Citizens Innitiative Committee Inc. is only registered with the State as an non- profit corporation…and that Inc. registered agent is not always the same as the Town registered agent (see 2008-2007-2006)…
6. UOT is not incorporated therefore no registered agent would be required….OOPS!….
7. I am told that when the president (registered agent) of UOT stepped down he went to the Town and filled out the required paperwork.
8. I am told that when the new president (registered agent)of UOT took office he went to the Town and filled out the required paperwork.
9. A source has informed this writer that the CIC may not have gone to the Town and filled out this required paperwork over the last 3 years!…OOPS!…
* This writer made the following Public Records Request …and will post the response upon receipt…
