School's Out for Lauren Book



Hmmm.

Lauren Book has decided against a School Board run.

(...)

In a voice mail message, Book told us (the Sun Sentinel) this:

"We have decided that I will not be running for school board. This was a decision that was not easy for me or my family, but I've decided I wanted to take the next year and half to two years to really focus on Lauren's Kids and get it the point where it can stand on its own and then look at the possibilities for other offices.''

As for here, comments like the one below might provide us with a bit of insight about what Ms. Book might have faced with a District 4 run.


"I tried to contact her for help regarding my daughter through her non-profit organization and she never contacted me. Her father gave me lip service, but was no help either. I lost respect for both of them after that."


Book(-Lim) is the daughter of Florida super-lobbyist, Ron Book, super-advocate for Florida's sex offender laws.

Sorry, but if you folks in Fla allow this person to be in ANY political capacity you deserve what you get.

I am glad she withdrew, but even for her to have the belief she would be elected to the board is scary!

Just wondering what's up with this. She completed a 500 mile walk to Tallahassee, which has running for local and in the future, state legislator all over it.

Lots of investigations going on by the feds in South Florida....have to wonder if the fam is lying low.....

My thoughts ran to a possible tie with the Rothstein investigations. I personally have been Googling both Rothstein and Book together to see if there is ANY hook.

I wonder????? Rothstein turned Federal Evidence in the past few months and I am wondering if her infamous Daddy's name came up?????

That would be SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it would indeed. At this point, I have to think the chances are good that could happen.

Book was a lawyer at one time wasn't he? Then lost his license due to some unethical behaviors correct? If that is the case, then I doubt the apple fell far from the tree on this.

Book IS a lawyer and did not loose his license because of his past behavior. He still retains his bar license. You can find his profile on the Florida Bar Association.

However, if he is tied to any illegal doings associated with the Rothstein case, then we can all say KMA Ron Book. You play, you pay!

I'll finish this comment when (and if) Ron Book is charged AND convicted.

Also, remember that Book is a shifty lawyer, and Book Jr. knows how to play the CYA game. But the statement that "WE have decided that I will not be running for school board", is a tell tale sign that SOMETHING is happening.

What that something is, will be found out later.

Read over at Broward Beat (I think) that LB thought she was too young this time around and in a couple of years, she would be looking at other offices.

Fuck Lauren the hooker Book-Lim and her scumbag thug father RON SEX CRIMES KING Book.
Sunny, read the comments on this article carefully. When you get to honest services fraud take what little precious time you have and investigate other articles in SPT regarding the scumbag ONeill and his partner Colin Breen.
You see that SCOTUS declaring the honest services fraud law unconstitutional?? The same folks who have taken down GOOD PEOPLE with that law are THE SAME FOLKS who have threatened people (with absolutely NO BASIS) with inclusion on the sex offender registry. The connection is now documented. Somewhere in there is the power to make the RSO and related laws unconstitutional Along with the obvious reasons that are easy to grasp even for an elementary age child. Read the comments carefully. There are many players in this asset seizure.

Ron Book was convicted of illegal campaign contribution fraud in the 1990s. How come he was not disbarred for unethical conduct? Florida sucks.
