THE FRAUDULENT AND CORRUPT ACTS OF THE BUBBA BOZO TRIO
Well, the Monroe County State Attorneys Office released the grand jury report delving into corruption at 1300 White Street and the dirty dealings by the Bubba Bozo Trio of disgraced (and likely disbarred) City Attorney Ron Ramsingh, his brother, former Chief Building Officer Raj Ramsingh, and now retired small-time thug, former Code Enforcement Director Jim Young.
KEY WEST, Fla. — Independent journalism takes time.
It takes public-records requests, late-night document reviews, uncomfortable questions, follow-up calls and a willingness to keep digging when the people in power would rather everyone move along.
News like this doesn’t write itself — and Above the Fold could not continue doing it without its readers.
National political analyst Chris Cillizza, a former CNN commentator and founder of The Washington Post’s political blog The Fix, named Ted Lund and Above the Fold among the best political reporters in Florida.
More recently, Cillizza again included Lund on his list of Florida’s “must follow” reporters for the 2026 primary election — placing Above the Fold alongside journalists from Politico, The Orlando Sentinel, Florida Politics and WCTV.
Readers have also made clear why independent local reporting matters to them:
“Continued excellent reporting bringing to light facts that otherwise would go unreported by the other papers. Thank you for the service.”
— Chris Hamilton, Streets for the People
“You rock! Great reporting and investigative work! Thank you.”
— Marilyn Kellner, The Cookie Lady
“It is a well-deserved recognition of your diligent and penetrating reporting. Key West is a better place to live because of your work.”
— J.C. Bruce, Tropic Press
“The media platform of the future is here. Ted, you’re doing a fine job utilizing it for the present.”
— Michael S.
Those words mean more than readers may realize. They are reminders that this work matters — and that people are paying attention.
