**Orlando Political Observer Offers $1,000 Reward: Who is Paying for Regina Hill’s Million-Dollar Defense?

The Orlando Political Observer has been silent on the subject for a while, but now it’s time to address the million-dollar question swirling around Orlando politics: who is footing the bill for suspended Commissioner Regina Hill’s high-profile legal defense?

Hill has recently retained the services of Fritz Scheller, a well-known attorney in Florida’s legal circles, whose reputation is on par with that of Jose Baez and Mark Nejame. According to Scheller’s assistant, his going rate is $400 per hour—a price tag that certainly isn’t cheap. Legal experts we spoke with estimate that this defense could end up costing Hill somewhere in the range of $500,000, potentially even more.

So, the question remains: who is paying for this high-powered defense? Is it Developer A, Developer B, or perhaps a completely different benefactor? Or could Hill be drawing from her own personal savings? The latter seems unlikely, given that Hill herself stated on a Facebook Live stream that she is currently homeless. The irony is not lost on us: how does one claim homelessness and yet afford a defense that costs more than what most people earn in a decade?

In an effort to get to the bottom of this mystery, the Orlando Political Observer is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who can provide verifiable proof of who is actually covering these legal fees. If you have credible information, you can come forward knowing that your identity will be kept strictly confidential.

This reward is being offered solely by the Orlando Political Observer Group LLC. The reason is simple: taxpayers deserve to know the truth. This is about transparency and accountability, and about making sure public figures are not misleading the very people they are supposed to serve.

So, if you have the information that could solve this puzzle, get in touch. It’s time for Orlando’s citizens to learn a valuable lesson about who really pays the price in the world of politics. Contact doug@orlandopolitics.com

The results for Orlando’s District 5 race were not even close.

Congratulations to the new Commissioner of District 5, Shan Rose. We wish Mr. McCurdy the best of luck and hope he does the honorable thing by calling Ms. Rose. We believe he has a bright future in Orlando politics.

The race was a landslide, marking a significant loss for the establishment that never faces defeat in Orlando city politics. Despite the efforts of the mayor and former Commissioner Hill to interfere with this election, democracy and transparency prevailed. The city of Orlando has yet to release the election records, they can take their records and their bill and throw it in the fireplace

We are proud to have contributed to leveling the playing field. Shan Rose won through absentee ballots, early voting, and on election day. It’s worth noting that in the recent mayoral election in November 2023, the turnout in District 5 was just 5%. However, in this special election, turnout was significantly higher, showing that the powers that be misjudged the constituents.

Orlando is not a monarchy; it does not have a king and queen. You cannot withhold records, cheat, and allow indicted elected officials to interfere in elections by engaging in unethical behavior. The Orlando media’s lack of coverage of District 5 is a fact. Nonetheless, change has come, and we are thrilled to see it.

Pathological Serial Liar Travaris McCurdy Is Spreading More Lies

Orlando District Five candidate Travis McCurdy is alleging false accusations against him. In response, we released police files from the Orlando Police Department, overseen by Mayor Buddy Dyer. These documents are public records, and we challenge Mr. McCurdy to specify what he claims are lies. It’s ironic for someone with a history of dishonesty to accuse others falsely. Mr. McCurdy chose to run for office, and the public deserves transparency.

McCurdy is like Dennis the Menace—he lied under penalty of perjury on affidavits, had a .357 Magnum under his seat when arrested, and accumulated over 40 parking tickets. He also lied on his job application at the airport about being arrested and about his college education. These are not youthful indiscretions; these are recent actions. Didn’t you get accused of domestic violence stalking and criminal mischief in 2020 while in office?

We have much more information on Mr. McCurdy, but we strive to be fair. We haven’t even mentioned South Carolina or your three credits in Tallahassee, Travaris.

Shaniqua “Shan” Rose: What a Story

### Title: **Shan Rose: A Beacon of Resilience and Determination in Orlando District 5**

—

**Orlando, FL** – In the race for Orlando District 5, Shan Rose’s story stands out as a testament to resilience, determination, and dedication to her community. Overcoming significant hardships, including homelessness, the loss of a young child, and the unsolved gun crime that took her husband’s life, Shan Rose has emerged stronger and more determined than ever.

By the age of 30, Shan had earned multiple college degrees, showcasing her commitment to education and personal growth. Her life experiences have shaped her into a strong and independent leader, a quality that some believe intimidates the established power structures and local media.

Republicans reached out to us and appreciated that Rose actually reached out to them. It’s the first time in decades they remember a commission candidate making contact.

Despite facing adversity, Shan Rose has garnered substantial support from major associations and groups across the spectrum. The Real Estate Association, Homebuilders, SEIU, and various business groups have all endorsed her, reflecting their confidence in her vision for the district.

Shan Rose is serious about addressing key issues such as safety, affordable housing, and homelessness. She promises not to be a rubber stamp for any agenda but to serve as an independent voice for her constituents, much like other commissioners who advocate passionately for their districts.

The mayor supports McCurdy, the mayors own  backers. diverse groups and associations have endorsed Rose, and she has significantly outraised McCurdy since the first election. While there are concerns about the potential for election interference, Shan Rose remains undeterred, continuing to reach out to everyone in her community and stand firm in her principles.

Her story is one of perseverance and hope, and it resonates deeply with those who believe in a future where leaders are not afraid to stand up for what is right. For more on Shan Rose’s inspiring journey, watch her story here: [Shan’s Story](https://youtu.be/03nxA8BB5eY?si=Lq-47ihqAXmZi0qY).

Mr. Mayor, don’t tarnish your record for McCurdy. Support whoever you choose, but we followed the rules and requested these records in good faith. Release the body cam footage and 911 calls tomorrow. This issue isn’t going away. Follow the law and let the people decide, sir.

Orlando Police Investigate Travaris McCurdy for Theft from Local Car Dealership

The news is depressing. We will just quote the Mayor Buddy Dyers Orlando  Police Department Report

Keeping in case Evans requested the money at a later date and time.
Mr Kounnichi stated on 04-12-2013, when he went into the filing cabinet, he discovered the money orders missing. Mr Kounnichi stated he contacted the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and filed a report, # 12-32470. Mr Kounnichi had an employee named Travaris McCurdy that worked as a salesman for approximately two weeks. McCurdy had not shown back up to work since the money orders were delivered, never calling or giving an explanation for quitting. Mr Kounnichi stated he also discovered McCurdy’s personnel file missing, which contained his phone number and address.
Mr Kounnichi followed the proper Western Union procedure and paid to have the money orders traced. Mr Kounnichi stated he received the paperwork back and discovered both money orders had been cashed on
04-02-2013attheAmscotlocatedat4304ClaroconaOcoeeRoad. Thecopiesshowedthesignatureof”T McCurdy” on the “purchaser signature” line and endorsed on the back of them.
Mr Kounnichi stated McCurdy did not have the authorization to steal or to cash the money orders. Mr Kounnichi stated his business has suffered a loss of $1000.00

Read the rest of the police report for yourself. These reports were requested months ago and were only released the day Dyer endorsed him. They still have not released the body cam footage or 911 calls and will probably release them after the election. Regardless of the election results. We will not go away We will bring this to state and national media. . We demand they release the 911 calls, police reports, and any other police records before the election on  McCurdy if they believe in democracy and transparency. we follow the rules and it’s obvious you don’t want those recordings out there

 

 

### Breaking News: Travaris McCurdy Arrested for Possession of Crack, Cocaine, and Stolen Firearms

The Orlando Police Department and the city of Orlando have released records indicating that Travaris McCurdy, a candidate for District 5 in Orlando, was arrested for possession of crack, cocaine, and stolen firearms. Interestingly, the records were initially difficult to locate as his name was listed as Dravaris McCurdy in the clerk of court’s records. Mayor, are you behind this? Check out the police report for yourself.

Where the heck is the media the city wouldn’t release these records for months? Do you think if this was a winter park issue the media would be all over it?

Is this why Geraldine Thompson blamed an aide for the theft? Travaris McCurdy, at 40 years old, has accumulated $2,000 in traffic tickets, continues to run red lights, and has falsified child support affidavits—all recently. Is McCurdy simply a bad person? Probably not, he is not well  According to multiple drug counselors, these behaviors are consistent with the long-term effects of crack cocaine use, which makes sense in this context. Read the police report.

😹 Three time losing Candidate Scott Sturgill Runs for Seminole County Republican Committeeman

We were taken aback to learn that Scott Sturgill has decided to run for Republican committeeman. It’s worth reminding everyone of Sturgill’s past humiliations at the hands of Cory Mills, Mike Miller, and Bob Cortes.

Years ago, Apollo conducted a poll for Sturgill that showed 80% of voters were undecided. To this day, he harbors resentment, failing to understand that the poll’s 80% undecided result was accurate. Sturgill himself polled at just 12%. showing how little he understood politics  His inability to accept this reality has earned him the nickname “crybaby.” Former Speaker John Boehner even calls him “Scotty.”

Isn’t he the same guy whose supporters, including himself, were running around town accusing the Supervisor of Elections of stealing a state house primary from him, even though he lost by double digits?

Currently, the Republican committeeman is Jesse Phillips, who serves as the vice chair of the party, bringing significant influence to Seminole County. Scott Sturgill’s candidacy threatens to disrupt this power and the benefits it brings to our community. Welcome to the race, Scotty.

OMG **Breaking News: Travaris McCurdy’s Orlando Police File Reveals Troubling Allegations**

We have finally received Travaris McCurdy’s Orlando police file, and the details are alarming. Police reports reveal that he victimized two women:

– McCurdy, who boasts about being an aide to the esteemed Senator Geraldine Thompson, allegedly stole from her. If he stole from her, how can we trust he won’t steal from the taxpayers?

The well respected esteemed state senator Geraldine Thompson
The well respected esteemed state senator Geraldine Thompson

– After being elected State Representative, a victim reported McCurdy for breaking into her home, yet no thorough investigation was conducted. How can the women in this district trust he will make it safer?

These revelations come from just two pages of a 20+ page report. If you think these two pages are concerning, the rest are equally troubling. We are calling on Mayor Buddy Dyer to immediately rescind his endorsement, and we urge Mr. McCurdy to drop out of the race immediately. He is not fit to serve.

This is absolutely not dirty politics. These are public records from Buddy Dyer’s Police Department.

Please remember, Travaris Leon McCurdy chose to run for office, not us. When you run for office, you should expect that people will verify your credentials, such as whether you graduated from Florida A&M, and check your police records—standard procedures. We have been exceedingly generous to Mr. McCurdy, holding back on numerous issues.

Either the local media lacks the resources or does not care about District 5. It was their job to investigate, and just because McCurdy got away with things before and got elected doesn’t mean professionals wouldn’t look into his record in the future. He decided to run for office, and it’s only natural that someone would scrutinize his past.

We have tried to be as fair as possible to McCurdy, not posting minor incidents from decades ago. Our intention has been to provide context and relevant information about his past.

**Dr. Vibert “Issa” White Announces Candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives: Challenging the Status Quo in Florida’s District 10**

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**Dr. Vibert “Issa” White Announces Candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives, Florida, District 10**

**Contact:**
For more information,
Phone: 407.484.5673
Email: Issa7forCongress@yahoo.com

**Orlando, FL, May 4, 2024** — Dr. Vibert “Issa” White is set to unveil his vision and present a “State of the District” address to the residents of Florida’s Congressional District 10 as he officially declares his candidacy to challenge Maxwell Frost. Dr. White asserts that Frost’s representation has been aligned with President Biden’s ineffective governance, hindering the progressive development of District 10’s constituents.

The escalating inflation crisis has placed residents in precarious situations, with working-class families struggling to put food on the table and homelessness reaching unprecedented levels, with 20,000 people in Orange County lacking shelter. The unemployment rate among African American and Latino men hovers at 10%, while college graduates face underemployment. Moreover, Dr. White highlights a concerning statistic that 80% of illegal aliens were clandestinely flown into Florida during the Biden-Frost tenure.

Dr. White underscores that promises made to District 10 residents remain undelivered, with Frost covertly supporting Biden’s War in Gaza. Recent polling data reveals that 81% of young voters aged 18-35 disapprove of Frost’s alignment with Biden’s military activities, including the funding of a new US-sponsored base in Gaza, contributing to almost $1 trillion in military expenditure that extends to the Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan, and proxy wars in The Sudan.

While Frost claims to champion women’s rights, Dr. White criticizes his disregard for the alarming rate of maternal mortality among African American women in Orange County and across the nation, where Black mothers are dying at three times the rate of non-Black women during childbirth.

Regarding the Haitian Crisis, Dr. White accuses Frost-Biden of double standards, citing the allocation of $400 million to deploy a Kenyan Police Force to Haiti while ignoring the plight of Haitians facing deportation to the Bahamas, Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), and Port au Prince. This disparity has exacerbated tensions and instability in Haiti.

Dr. Issa leads a campaign and movement aimed at empowering District 10 residents, providing them with a genuine voice in the “People’s House,” the United States Congress. He pledges to dismantle policies and rhetoric that have stifled progress for the American people.

The official campaign kick-off and “Address to the Residents of District 10” will take place at 2295 South Hiawassee Road, Suite 309, Orlando, Florida 32835. The event is open to the public and scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at 9:30 AM.
