When Gov. Rick Scott has a bill to sign that authorizes a new Holocaust Memorial at the Capitol in Tallahassee, where does he go to sign it?
Broward County, roughly 450 miles away from where the memorial will eventually be built.
The reason is obvious: There are a lot of Jews in Broward County. A lot more than in Tallahassee.
Another reason is the measure was sponsored by state Sens. Eleanor Sobel, a hometown Democrat from Hollywood, and state Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat from the Broward town of Coral Springs.
Enacting Holocaust Memorial legislation is not exactly controversial or tackling the major issues facing the state. But it is important for Sobel and Moskowitz’s hard-core supporters in the Jewish community. It also can do Sobel no harm in Hollywood, where she is running for mayor now that she is facing term limits after a long career in the Legislature.
