St. Petersburg Times Endorses Dan Molloy For Florida Legislature

Aug. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- (TAMPA,FL) -- Dan Molloy, Republican candidate for the Florida Legislature (District 57) has received the editorial endorsement of the St. Petersburg Times.

According to the St. Petersburg Times editorial of August 7, 2010, "The three biggest issues in this coastal, west Hillsborough County district are the economy, education and the environment. Republican Dan Molloy has his priorities straight and his two primary challengers do not.

Molloy, 58, is a former Hillsborough prosecutor now in private practice who has long represented the development industry. His background as a business owner and in economic development and transportation gives him a broad grasp of the challenges facing the region and the state. Molloy has commonsense ideas for how to pare the reach and cost of government. He is a strong advocate for local control of schools. And his proposals for spreading the risk of damage claims could better prepare Florida for hurricanes and make property insurance more available and affordable.

C. Todd Marks and Dana Young offer little beyond talking points and red meat. Marks, 40, a lawyer who has lived in the area for five years, seems to think the district's greatest need is an Arizona-style crackdown on illegal immigrants. Young, 45, a stay-at-home mother and former real estate attorney, talks broadly about cutting government red tape. But her idea to consolidate wetlands protections could have serious impacts in this coastal community, where wetlands play a critical role in flood control and filtering runoff entering the bay.

Molloy has been much more engaged in charting a course for this community. He knows the political process and he has crossover appeal, an important consideration if Republicans want to prevail in November. This district covers south Tampa, parts of Town 'N Country and Westchase.

In the Republican primary for House District 57, the Times recommends Dan Molloy."
