Joe LePore
– The man arrested in a mysterious attack on a cabbie in West Palm Beach earlier this week has been identified as Joe LePore, brother of former Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore. Joe Lepore, 52, an electrician, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief after West Palm Beach police arrested him Wednesday morning. A taxi driver was trying to turn around in LePore’s driveway on Avenida Allegre when LePore allegedly hit the cab, causing damages. When a cop arrived, LePore allegedly pulled a gun and threatened both the cabbie and officer. “I felt threatened,” LePore told Page2Live. “I had my 357 in my pocket but I didn’t take it out.” He was released from the county lockup late Thursday after paying his $3,000-bond. In 2004, according to Palm Beach County court records, LePore pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. A judge withheld adjudication. “He has anger management issues,” said sister Theresa. “The cab driver was sitting in his driveway blowing the horn, and he is very protective of his property.” Theresa’s name became intertwined with the disastrous administrations of George W. Bush when, in 2000, her office printed ballots so confusing that some Al Gore supporters voted for the wrong candidate. Ultimately, Bush won the election by a hair.

Jenny
– Jenny Sanford, first lady of South Carolina and a member of a prominent Martin County family, moved out of the governor’s mansion in Columbia today. Sanford is the long suffering wife of Gov. Mark Sanford, who made international news in June after he disappeared to Argentina to tango with a mistress. The Sanfords eventually ended up pow-wowing about it at her dad John Sullivan’s home in Hobe Sound. Mark and Jenny just returned from a vacation in Europe. But AP reporters saw Jenny and several women move boxes out of the mansion Thursday. Jenny says she can be found in the couple’s vacation home, 125 miles away from Columbia.
Livan
– Another athlete’s selling SoFla real estate. Livan “I lo’ you, Miami” Hernandez, the 1997 star pitcher for the World Series winning Florida Marlins, is selling his Miami Beach condo. He’s willing to lose a few bucks. According to South Florida Blockshopper, the beachfronter is on the market for $945,000, nearly $40,000 less than what the current New York Met bought it for last year. The listing agent is a former star of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, Katrina Campins.
Why doesn’t Jenny Sanford just leave the cheating hypocrit, and quit trying.Pow wowing with dad isn’t the way.
I just love LePeores comment. Anger issues with her gun toting brother,like horn honking is an excuse for acting like a gun slinger. Sounds like her response to the butterfly ballot, no big deal, why was something wrong?
Her butterfly ballot landed in The Smithsonian Museum. Her brother may land in the gray-bar hotel.
Thanks for the gratuitious slam at the Bush administration. From what I see in the last 6 months we will look back on those days as the halcyon days of personal freedom and low taxes.
Jenny should leave that cheating husband!!She is a sweet person,I feel bad for her.
I also go nuts and pull a gun when someone pulls into my drive, What is wrong with that?
1. Innoncent until proven guilty. If someone came on my property and refused to leave, I don’t know what I would do.
2. If Theresa LePore would have simply stated, “no comment”, someone would probably still drag her name through the proverbial mud. I don’t think she contacted the media regarding this case.
3. As far as the butterfly ballot, it was approved, and sent out to voters prior to the election. It was not Ms. LePore’s fault that certain people used it as an excuse for an election loss.
Why would you involve Theresa LePore in this article? Jerk.
There’s more to the story than what we’re being told….there always is. I agree with you willamina, why the heck mention Theresa other than to sensationalize his story. D-bag
