OUR OPINION Get real, senator ired of being pushed around by South Florida? T We are. They have the clout to do pretty much as they please in the Legislature, and have for decades. That doesn’t mean we have to like it. And when one of them does something ridicu- lous, such as floating a bill to make coconut pat- ties, of all things, the state candy, well, it’s time to draw the line. As you saw on Page 1A of this edition, Sen. Lauren Book, a Plantation Democrat, is behind this nonsense. We’re not sure how seriously she takes such silliness, and as you saw, we couldn’t help but have a little fun with it ourselves. Still, enough is enough. Maybe we should ship Sen. Book a nice batch of pecan pralines and let her learn for herself the error of her ways. That’s assuming her palate hasn’t been so corrupted by coconut patties and Key lime pie that she can recognize a real North Florida treat ESPECIALLY THIS MONTH when she tastes it. Betcha those pralines will change her whole way of looking at the world. Who knows, she might even question her political affiliation. Be good to your heart
