If I didn't know any better -and it wasn't actually mentioned in the spot-on column by Scott Maxwell- I'd have thought that FL State Rep. Chris Dorworth sounded exactly like someone straight out of South Florida's multi-hat wearing, nouveau riche nexus of government, lobbying and politics, someone who got into politics convinced that we just can't live without them, even though we already were. (Yes, the 'Geller Effect.')
But instead, Dorworth is from the Sanford area, home of Amtrak's Auto Train.
More's the pity.
And let's be serious, given their track record in Broward, you simply can't beat the Ash-Britt connection!
