Rick Scott Changes The Rules

Regarding what falls under
“public records” 
 making it harder for citizens and journalists
to get an idea of how Florida is conducting “the people’s business.”

Florida GOP Kelli Stargel

The Republican 
State senator from Lakeland's bill to restrict small craft beer brewers from selling directly to the public has made her a poster child for legislators appearing much
More concerned with protecting powerful special interests 
Than the free market and small businesses.

TOOL: I Am GOP Ritch Workman Of Melbourne

Florida Senate committee on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment for the November ballot that would give tax breaks to businesses that install

Solar panels,
but it is unlikely to come before voters:
The chairman of a powerful House committee believes
the solar industry isn't ready for it.
 Mr. Workman's attitude is more proof of the clout of Florida's electric utilities, which view rooftop solar as the beginning of the end of their
monopoly control over Florida's energy market.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Jimmy Patronis

 Rep. Jimmy Patronis GOP Panama City
 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."

Wage Theft In Florida

Corporate special interests
are pressuring the Florida House to
stop local governments from cracking down on
employers who steal from their workers.
How disgusting is this?

The Florida Retail Federation, representing mom & pop operations such as
 Walmart and Macy’s,
made upwards of $2 billion in “campaign contributions” from 2004-2012.
Most — 77 percent — went to Republicans, including Scott and the current crop now in legislative session.  
Call your state representative today at 888-714-5779 and tell them to vote NO on HB 957.

 Florida is one of the few states in the US that doesn’t have a
 Labor Department.

GOP LITE: Bob Buckhorn

Is not happy with the prospect of Florida Democrats
nominating Charlie Crist for governor.
On Bay News 9, Buckhorn made it clear that he's
keeping his distance from Crist.
Will he ultimately endorse the Democratic nominee?
"I don't know," he said.
Keep in mind that Buckhorn could be a Democratic contender for governor in 2018. He would have a window if Scott wins a second term, but probably not if Democratic Gov. Crist
were running for re-election.......more>
Is he cheering for the other side for his own personal interests?
