I’ve written several stories about Father Barney Canada, a convicted confidence man who took Florida developers for at least $1 million in loan application fees. One victim was Trump Tower Tampa, whose developer, SimDag Robel LLC, gave the “clergyman” $150,000 for a loan that never materialized.

   Wildhorn likes to shape his shows to the talent. His ex-wife, Linda Eder, played the prostitute Lucy in Jekyll & Hyde, and until they divorced about five years ago, he often called her his muse. He describes Dacal’s singing style as ‘’something like Nora Jones meets Donny Hathaway.”

The practice, currently under review at the state’s highest levels, gives second chances to felons who profess to have turned their lives around.
“This is the Department of Children and Families,” explained agency Secretary George Sheldon, “and I think we need to be consistent with the concept that people can be rehabilitated.”
