Rick Scott fills a seat on the Florida Public Service Commission with a environmental disaster

Looking to a political ally to fill the job, Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday named state Rep. Jimmy Patronis to a seat on the  Florida Public Service Commission.

Every year during the legislative session in Tallahassee, he pushes a bill to destroy Florida's environmental regulations, 
Last Year
 Bill to block local governments from protecting thousands of acres of wetlands. Which passed 
This Year
 He has  introduced a destructive bill that will prevent local governments from being able to protect their own water supply. 
HB 703 not only prohibits local governments from enforcing wetlands, springs or storm water protections – it takes the decision-making powers out of their hands and gives it to Tallahassee politicians.
Frank Matthews, who lobbies on behalf of developers, phosphate miners, boat manufacturers, sugar growers, power companies and a garbage company said 
"I can't say enough good things about him
He couldn't be more accommodating. That's the appealing thing to me." more

We can say goodbye to clean energy in Florida.
