UNCLE JOE WANTS YOU

SUICIDE POOL UPDATE: If you don't see your name, you haven't successfully registered. If you don't see your pick, send it again in a NEW email and don't reply to the old one. Good luck. We have a winner of our FIRST PERSON OUT. Clay Kaiser take a bow. In the history of the REGJB blog suicide pool, no one has ever gone out on the first Wednesday of the football season.

UPDATE: Perhaps the greatest amicus brief ever filed.  And only five pages. A must read!

Joe Centorino is looking for volunteers for this worthy cause:

The Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust and the Miami-Dade County School Board have each passed resolutions endorsing this project, which will put hundreds of volunteers into Miami-Dade high school classrooms to speak on the importance of civic participation as an avenue to promoting more ethical government at all levels.  The date was chosen for its proximity to an important

Presidential election.  We are calling upon public officials, civic leaders and attorneys with significant civic involvement or government experience to join in this community conversation by sharing their knowledge and insight with the next generation of voters.

You may consider volunteering for the entire day or for any portion of the day, and we will place you in one or more high school classrooms for this event.  You may also indicate a school preference, which we will accommodate wherever possible.  While we will provide suggested talking points for all speakers, we are encouraging our volunteer speakers to draw upon their own stories and backgrounds in their presentations and to make an effort to connect personally with students.  This is a worthwhile, non-partisan project which will provide you with an opportunity to help improve the civic life of our community.

Sign up and volunteer by emailing Uncle Joe at Centori at Miamidade.gov  or at this website.
