Truman Partner Leo Cruz was mentioned in the Orlando Sentinel:
...
So you are angry about … what? That the candidates you elected kept their word?
A perfect example was 2010's race for Seminole's state House District 33.
Democratic U.S. Navy veteran Leo Cruz ran a campaign, pledging to stave off future education cuts. He specifically vowed to "prevent further cuts in local schools."
Republican Jason Brodeur ran a campaign pledging to cut government spending — and funnel more education dollars away from traditional public schools.
Pretty clear choice, right? And Seminole voters voted for Brodeur 60 percent to 37 percent.
So guess what, Seminole? You got a guy who's doing precisely what he promised.
