TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – Emanuel Beach 43, of Tallahassee, Florida, was sentenced to thirty years in federal prison after pleading guilty on February 18, 2022, to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney, for the Northern District of Florida announced the sentence.

“I am proud of our federal, state, and local partners for their tireless efforts to keep us safe and serve a critical role in our efforts to remove addictive and deadly controlled substances from our communities,” said US Attorney Coody. “We will continue to support the efforts of our law enforcement partners as we work together to investigate and prosecute criminals bringing drugs into North Florida.”

According to court documents, in 2020, Beach came to the attention of Leon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), and the Drug Enforcement Administration, as an individual involved in narcotics trafficking. A traffic stop in December of 2020 conducted by officers with LCSO revealed that Beach possessed 27 grams of methamphetamine which was later determined to be pure. Further investigation revealed that Beach was involved in the distribution of multiple pounds of methamphetamine in Tallahassee.

Beach qualified for enhanced sentencing as a career offender because of convictions for two prior drug offenses. Beach’s thirty years in prison will be followed by eight years of supervised release.

“DEA’s top priority is to pursue those criminal drug networks who seek to harm our communities for their own profit,” said DEA Miami Field Division Special Agent in Charge Deanne L. Reuter. “This sentence not only holds Emanuel Beach accountable for his actions, but also serves as a warning to those who look to distribute this poison in our communities. I am proud of the DEA Tallahassee Resident Office and our partners with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office for their hard work and dedication to keeping their communities safe.”

This conviction was the result of a joint investigation conducted by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters ...

U.S. House GOP would make it easier for feds to give public lands away to states

Image
U.S. House Republicans included in the new rules for the chamber they passed this month a provision meant to make it easier for Congress to give away public lands. The provision is a fairly technical piece of the 55-page  rules package . It affects internal House accounting and requires that anytime Congress were to give any federal lands to a state, municipality or tribe, it would not be counted as a loss to the federal budget. House Republicans had an identical rule when they controlled the chamber from 2017 to 2019. Advocates and critics agree the measure would be helpful to any effort by the House to transfer federal lands to states. But they disagree about the wisdom of such giveaways. Republicans and conservative groups see states as preferable stewards of most public lands. Those closest to the land are in a better position to make decisions on how to manage them than those in Washington bureaucracies, they say. Environmental groups and Democrats see federal divest...

Democratic governors press U.S. Senate to act on voting rights legislation

Image
WASHINGTON — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 16 other Democratic governors are urging the U.S. Senate to pass two bills that aim to protect voting rights. Both measures need 60 votes to advance under Senate rules but have been stalled by Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate. “Without decisive action by the federal government this year to protect voters’ access to the ballot and ensure the integrity and transparency of our elections, the voices of Americans across the country, especially Americans of color, will be suppressed,” the governors wrote in a Monday  letter  to U.S. Senate leadership. Governors who signed the letter include Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Steve Sisolak of Nevada, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Kate Brown of Oregon, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Tony Evers of Wisconsin, among others. One bill, known as the  John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2...
