Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

Sigh...and so it also goes in Marion County

Well, apparently some jobs become more valuable:

Ocala - Fifteen years ago, when Milagros "Millie" Rosa first started working as a Spanish-English interpreter in the 5th Judicial Circuit, the calls were few and far between.

Now, her phone doesn't stop ringing.

The contract interpreter works seven days a week, shuttling back and forth between court and the jail, translating for nearly 90 to 100 Hispanic individuals per month in misdemeanor, family law and juvenile cases. Most of her misdemeanor cases involve petty traffic offenses, such as driving without a valid driver's license. Over 90 percent of her clients, she says, are in the country illegally.

What would be really cool is if there was a serious influx of legal aliens with money. (Heavy sigh)
