Like Jane Healy of the Orlando Sentinel, we too have been struck by a particular stink coming from the seats of Osceola's Board of Commissioners. It is, to say simply, all too much to bear. To know that our locally-elected leaders continue to walk in the halls that taxpayers built, behaving as though they can just cut a bit of budget over there, maybe a few more employees-out-the-door here, oh, and how about a little across-the-board salary snip over there?

Before U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge, broadcast's his frustration with the Obama administration's economic policies, he should check on the frustration of his constituents.

In the mid-2000's when families -- then speculators -- flooded the market, property values spiked egregiously high. Flippers kept prices unnaturally high until the bubble burst in 2007.
