Florence Councilman Gets His 5th Arrest in Four Years.......
The neverending comedy that is Ed Robinson continues on. Yes, the Florence City Councilman that can't seem to stay away from trouble got into more today. Ed got arrested for fraudulent check charge today. Having been arrested for this means it was a second or subsequent offense, so this isn't the first time Ed has written a bad check. And it isn't the first time Ed's been to The Joint... Let's review..........
October ,2004 - Arrested with simple assault for trying to choke Murray Jordan.
October, 2005 - Arrested for hindering an officer on a traffic stop.
January, 2007- Arretsed for having a suspended license, and driving under suspension.
March, 2008 - Arrested again fro driving under suspension, failure to surrender drivers license, and disregarding a traffic device..
He was acquitted on the assault charge, and paid a fine for the second.. The unbelievable part is how Ed can't stay out of trouble. Yet he still has his supporters who come out all the time to tell the media they're picking on poor Old Ed... Maybe if he could go a calendar year without going to Effingham, we'd agree with them. So far, it hasn't happened. Yes, i've had my own embarrasing brush with the law, but hey, it was only once. Ed's making a profession out of it........

Well he gets elected because of two things. One, voter apathy. Secondly, he has a coupl ehundred supporters who are convinced that he is the ONLY ONE who can represent them.
As far as deposing him, good luck on that. None of the charges are office related, plus watch the riot that would ensue if he were booted.
This is the same supporters that are going to vote for Obama
No doubt about that one. There are tons of AA in town that see this as their one chance...
Some people believe in limiting the number of terms they'll serve, others let the judge decide how long a term they'll serve.
This guy is a perfect argument that in politics we don't always need term limits. We need jails.
