Florida NAACP vows 10 point plan against Democrats
Florida NAACP and black legislators unveiled a 10 point plan to shift black votes away from Democrats after Rep. Willie Logan's ouster as speaker designate. The plan contemplates boycotts and seeking an exception to the no endorsement policy, with leaders signaling possible reevaluation of party loyalty. Logan called his removal a lynching and said the GOP controlled chamber pushed him out after a high profile outreach effort. Black leaders described voters as political free agents while affirming no current plan to leave the Democratic party.

Leonardo Gallego called the operation a disgrace even as he defended not exposing McCaffrey to the site. The incident jeopardized anti narcotics momentum and further decertification pressure from Washington ahead of the 1998 review.
