State investigators visit Largo man who sent postcard critical of Florida's CFO
The postcard read: You lack values.
Two armed men wearing bulletproof vests with the word police stenciled on them showed up Wednesday at the Largo home of Cathy OGara while she was getting her 11-year-old granddaughter ready for school.
Dogs were barking. There was a loud knock at the door. She greeted the men, who didnt identify themselves or the agency they were with. They asked if her husband, James OGara, lived there and if they could speak to him about a postcard hed sent to Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia with the brief message: You lack values.
It was a scary big red flag moment for the OGaras, a retired couple who are politically active supporters of progressive candidates, vocal critics of President Donald Trumps immigration policies, and who helped to organize a local No Kings anti-Trump demonstration in June.
Anything is possible, if you can send a postcard and have this happen, Cathy OGara said.
Days after the visit with the help of the Largo Police Department they learned that the officers were investigators with the criminal division of the states Department of Financial Services, which is overseen by Ingoglia.
