"And you thought building roads was all about transportation?" Scott Maxwell asks, "Why won't Rep. Chris Dorworth explain $713,000 in new assets?"

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!

Why won't Rep. Chris Dorworth explain $713,000 in new assets?

Two years ago, State Rep. Chris Dorworth was in a heap of financial trouble.

His Lake Mary mansion was facing foreclosure. And aside from the stuff in his house, his only other assets were $40,000 in cash and a Chrysler Pacifica.

His sole income — a legislative salary of $2,600 a month — wasn't nearly enough to cover his monthly mortgage payments of about $10,000. Nor had he been able to satisfy a $1.35 million legal judgment against him from a failed business venture.

In short: Things were very bleak for the Republican legislator.
