McCollum and Sink have this in common: Lower net worth

Bill McCollum and Alex Sink are rivals for the Governor's Mansion with differing views on a gamut of issues. But on this they can probably agree: The economy has not been kind to their pocketbooks.

McCollum's net worth dropped by about $150,000, from $1.3 million at the end of 2007 to $1.2 million at the end of last year, according to the latest financial disclosure forms. Most of the loss came in stocks, a few of which (Altair Nanotech Inc., EResearch Technology Inc.) tumbled dramatically.

The value of his Longwood home also dropped slightly, from $247,767 to $240,550, according to his disclosure. The value of 40 ranch acres in Brooksville held steady at $408,000.

Sink's net worth dropped by $1.5 million. Ouch. That hurts.

Sink is nothing more than a BIG MONEY BANKER who caused this economic problem we all have now with the junk mortgages they made. She and her lawyer husband are worth millions and don't care about the little people and never did. Sink lost more money than McCollum ever had in the first place. Sink and her lawyer husband have millions and might have to layoff a maid or two.
