Who's Your Buddy?
So Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer surrendured to authorities because of charges of election fraud. You see, there was this guy named Ken Mulvaney who is convinced that he should've had a run-off against Dyer. Dyer avoided the runoff by getting more than 51% of the vote here. Well Mulvaney, who still harbors a grudge and is filing legal actions more than a year after the election ended, won't let it go. And Al Gore got called a sore loser? Al Gore won and yet let it go. This guy loses, and won't just accept it.
Now - I don't have any feelings on Mayor Dyer one way or another. Policy wise, I think he's done a pretty good job. Even when he hasn't won the issues I care most about - mass transit and the Arts, he has been fighting on the correct side. And yet, he has managed to piss off just about everyone he deals with because of his style.
I must say that this whole thing shows Orlando is becoming a big city. Only in big cities do the leadership get indicted while in office.
