Thrasher fronts anti-Hometown effort
Tallahassee lobbyist John Thrasher, a former speaker of the House, is helping to lead a statewide effort to convince voters to revoke their signatures on Florida Hometown Democracy petitions. The revocation push takes the form of a statewide direct mail campaign aimed at voters who have signed Hometown's slow-growth petitions over the past 150 days. "Extremely Urgent," the letter says.
"Hundreds of thousands of good Floridians are being tricked into signing onto their special interest amendment," Thrasher's letter states. "The special interests are hoping they can sneak their Constitutional Amendment past Florida's voters and into Florida's Constitution before you fully understand what's in it."
Thrasher's letter (paid for by the new Save Our Constitution committee) doesn't say that he's a lobbyist, or that his Southern Strategy Group represents -- among others -- the St. Joe Company, Associated Industries of Florida, Walt Disney World and the engineering firm Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan.
