Editor:

Our television screens remind us of the controversy going on with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the "pay-to-play" scandal. So it is important that those of us here in Florida be reminded of our own state Sen. Mike Fasano.

From his earliest days in the Florida House to the present, Fasano has never joined the pay-to-play game. Indeed, he has been up front on introducing bills and supporting the rights of victims throughout Florida, without consideration for his own personal political gain. Fasano has never turned a deaf ear to anyone, nor is any issue too small for his consideration.

I have disagreed politically with Republican Fasano more times than I have agreed with him. When victims' rights are concerned, however, we have always agreed. When victims need someone to notice an injustice, Fasano has always been there.

We are fortunate to have Fasano in our state Senate and we are fortunate to have a senator who, even though he might disagree, never condecends and never refuses to hear an opposing viewpoint.
