If real-estate mogul and deep-pocketed White House donor Terry Bean were a Republican, hed be a household name by now.

Beans face would be splashed all over the covers of grocery-stand newsweeklies. The garrulous hostesses of ABCs The View would be haranguing the GOP to return his campaign contributions.

Child-welfare advocates would be demanding his resignation from top political advocacy and civic groups.

Media satellite trucks from NBCs Today show would be parked outside the Lane County, Ore., Circuit Court on Dec. 3 for his first appearance.

And The New York Times archives would be teeming with thousand-word editorials and multiple lead stories about his grand jury indictment on horrifying sexual-abuse allegations involving multiple victims including a 15-year-old boy.

Instead, a search for Terry Bean on the left-wing paper of records Web site on Tuesday yielded exactly one story dated Jan. 16, 1880, about a Westchester County elder with that name plus an advertising link to retailer L.L. Bean.

So, who is Terry Bean? Hes a wealthy, high-flying liberal and celebrated gay-rights activist who co-founded the influential Human Rights Campaign organization.

He is also a veteran member of the board of the HRC Foundation, which disseminates Common Core-aligned anti-bullying material to childrens schools nationwide.

Bean shelled out more than $500,000 for President Obama and the Democrats in 2012. He was rewarded with an exclusive Air Force One ride with Obama.

The president also gave the developer a special shout-out at an opulent fund-raiser in Portland, where Beans family had established a longstanding political and corporate fiefdom.

Ontario is reviewing the rules for severance pay after a rookie New Democrat MPP became eligible for a $58,000 golden parachute despite working only five months.

Sudburys Joe Cimino, who was elected on June 12, resigned suddenly on Nov. 20, citing personal reasons.

Combined with his six months of severance pay and a byelection that Premier Kathleen Wynne must call on or before May 20, Ciminos mysterious departure could cost Ontarians as much as $558,000.

Government House leader Yasir Naqvi said there would be an all-party review by the legislatures board of internal economy, which oversees MPP compensation.

Naqvi said severance is to assist the member in transitioning into a different life given there are no pensions, but the Cimino affair alters the landscape.

It creates a new situation that needs to be reviewed, he said, conceding that under the existing rules the New Democrat will receive the money.

I dont remember something like that . . . where an MPP has stepped down so quickly.

Progressive Conservative interim leader Jim Wilson was incredulous and agreed changes are needed.

There probably should be a minimum amount of time that you serve here before you get any type of payout from the taxpayer and I dont what that would be, but Id be willing to discuss it, said Wilson.

Im sure anybody in the public, including myself, thinks thats just ridiculous, the Tory chief said.

Today's Autumn Statement has Liberal Democrat policies at its core.

This Autumn Statement shows that Liberal Democrats are building a stronger economy and a fairer society where everyone is given the opportunity to get on in life.

Liberal Democrat policy is at the core of the Autumn Statement. This is a plan which sticks to our strategy to deal with the deficit, enabling us to release funds for key Liberal Democrat priorities.

We have protected our world class health service by providing an extra 3.1bn across the UK for the NHS. This includes making 2bn additional funding available for NHS services in England for the next financial year 2015/2016.

This is so that the NHS has the money it needs to meet the challenges of an ageing population and increasing demand. It will also provide the funding the NHS needs to deliver the first year of Simon Steven's five year plan.

This Autumn Statement is packed full of policies that deliver Liberal Democrat priorities.

It is because there are Liberal Democrats in Government that we have an economic recovery and that this is Autumn Statement providing:

And it because there are Liberal Democrats in Government that the recovery will be sustainable and that the repair job will be done fairly.

Five candidates including a Daytona Beach Democrat have qualified for the state Senate District 6 special election, which combined with two other elections will cost taxpayers more than $1 million.

The quintet of candidates are vying for the post vacated by former Sen. John Thrasher, who was appointed as president of Florida State University shortly after being reelected in November. The special primary for the seat, which includes all of Flagler, St. Johns and Putnam counties as well as northeast Volusia County, is Jan. 27 and the special general election will be April 7, meaning Flagler will be without a state senator for most of the 2015 Legislative session.

Republican candidates for Senate District 6 include state Rep. Travis Hutson, R-Elkton and Rep. Ronald Doc Renuart, R-Ponte Vedra Beach. Other Republican candidates include Dennis McDonald, a Flagler Beach resident who ran an unsuccessful campaign for Flagler County Commission, and Beth Sweeny of St. Augustine.

Running as the Democratic candidate is David Cox, an educator at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach who campaigned to unseat U.S. District 6 Rep. Ron DeSantis.

Both Hutson and Renuart will resign from their House seats a day before the April 7 general election, forcing officials to hold two other special elections. The elections to fill their seats as well as the vacant senate seat are expected to cost more than $1 million.

A special election would have been unnecessary if Thrasher had resigned before the November elections. If he had done that, though, Republican leaders from the counties within his district would have nominated a stand-in. Thrasher said he preferred to let voters choose his replacement.

That decision also allowed House members Hutson and Renuart to compete for the seat. Already deemed candidates for their own reelection bids, they could not have taken Thrashers spot in the general election.

Cox blasted Republicans for playing games with constituents money and leaving Flagler without a voice in the senate.

Ultimately, its costing taxpayers when that money could have gone into education or the environment, he said.
