Today we have a very proud announcement to make: Carl has been endorsed by the St. Petersburg Times

sptimes.com/2006/10/21/Opinion/D...

Here's an excerpt:

"Zimmermann has done his homework and eagerly offers ideas. On taxation, for example, he favors Save Our Homes portability and appraising newly purchased homes on a five-year average value rather than current value. Portability could create more problems than it solves and by creating more inequities instead of eliminating them. But examining appraisal rules has some merit.

"On insurance, Zimmermann suggests removing sinkhole coverage from homeowners policies to make them more attractive for insurance companies to sell. On education, he supports the class size amendment and ending the FCAT or modifying it. He favors full use of the state housing trust fund to support construction of affordable housing."

We're extremely happy to announce this endorsement, but in the end it comes down to one endorsement alone: the endorsement by the voters on November 7th.
