Florida GOP Sliming of Florida

Again, Florida politicians are scurrying about, trying to camouflage their reputations and avoid being targeted in November by angry voters.
-----
There's Rick Scott, trying to unseat Bill Nelson for US Senate: Scott, whose very first act as governor was to chainsaw the budget of the science agencies charged with protecting Florida waters. No funding, no science, no problem.
-----
And Adam Putnam, whose loyalty to agricultural polluters in Florida led him to lobby Congress to WEAKEN federal laws protecting state waters. more

Is Leslie Wimes A Plant For The Florida GOP?

Our post yesterday on Nikki Barnes (on left) has cause quite a stir. Our traffic has gone through the roof and we have been banned from her Facebook page,  so much for free speech. The other young lady in this image (On right) is Leslie Wimes, a registered Democrat who supports Rick Baker and writes for the right wing Sunshine State News, the news service that frequently praises Republican Gov. Rick Scott and routinely trashes Democrats and the mainstream media. Which begs the question why doesn't she just switch her party affiliation since she gets paid to be a mouthpiece for the GOP. here
--------------------------
Here she is attacking  Peter Schorsch. Called him a serious stalker, and said this:

"Perhaps Rick Baker didn't invite big Pete to his watch party. not sure if there would have been enough food."
She needs to get her vanity under contrOl. 

For a great article on Sunshine State News by
Eye On Miami.

Florida Dems ever wonder why you keep losing?

The Keys Need Help

Last week Florida Keys fishing guides assembled their skiffs in Florida Bay, spelling the word for an aerial photograph: "Help!". The bay, since the 1980s, has endured repetitive algae blooms that stripped biodiversity from hundreds of square miles from pristine wilderness, leaving behind ghostly scenes reminiscent of chemical warfare. here

Florida GOP Voters Are Rebelling

Republican voters are in full rebellion against the GOP in Florida. In last week's presidential primary, GOP voters treated Marco Rubio as a stand-in for the special interests who dominate party politics. They might not know the names but they know the outcomes.
As a result, the party establishment has been thrown into a panic. This one is filled with voter anger at both Florida coasts coated by a layer of toxic scum, as the state's rivers, bays and estuaries are turning to collateral damage by the state's most powerful special interest group, Big Sugar. here

What is wrong with the City of Miami?

In their view the citizen is the enemy.
 On display every time citizens go to County Hall or the City Commission to protest a zoning approval. The developers and their representatives are chummy on the sidelines with regulators while citizens in the audience are on the defensive. At Eye On Miami, we witnessed the relationship between government and citizens take a nose-dive when local freedom of information requests began to be accompanied with outrageously high bills for copying documents. It was as if to say to the inquisitive, "fuck you". here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: The Florida Senate

As the legislative session stumbles to an end, the House and Senate have succeeded in distorting the will of the people beyond recognition. What these Republicans leaders have proven -- by failing to enact what the people expressed through Amendment 1 (that 1/3 of the documentary stamp tax on real estate transactions to be used to purchase environmentally sensitive lands) --  is that they are only concerned about their own security. here

The next time you vote, remember how you have been betrayed.

Big Sugar to privatize Florida's water supply

For Big Sugar, the exploitation of Florida taxpayers is a ceaseless enterprise. Its success is measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. However much money Big Sugar earns for shareholders -- dominating Florida -- it is never enough.With profits virtually guaranteed by federal farm bill policy, Big Sugar freely seeds Florida with disinformation campaigns through skilled and well-paid message machinery. here, more here

Florida Agriculture Secretary Adam Putnam

 is aiming to wrest control of Florida water quality from the (absurdly, horribly) weak Florida Department of Environmental Protection, in which case taxpayers will never, ever have a "fair and balanced" accounting of the costs of pollution and why, exactly, the polluters aren't being held accountable to clean up their pollution. This development is unfolding right now in Tallahassee. It is being portrayed as a conflict between the ambitious Putnam and Gov. Rick Scott. In reality, these two are working 
hand-in-glove. here

Alan Farago's Great Idea

If you voted, you get a tax credit. If you register a car, you pay a penalty if you fail to vote. Shut down the stores. Turn off the traffic lights. Declared voting days a national holiday.

I'd favor turning off everyone's electricity on election day UNTIL people vote.  Tie it to the phone number on your electric bill. 
No Vote, No Light.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption

Rick Scott gives Florida's electric utilities whatever they want. It is no surprise that they are among his largest campaign contributors. here

The Sugar Hill Sector Plan In The Everglades

The Sugar Hill Sector Plan envisions turning 43,313 acres -- or more than 67 square miles -- of sugar cane fields (me: historical Everglades), citrus groves and pasture lands into a planned community featuring 18,000 residential units and 25 million square feet of space to accommodate manufacturing, warehousing, transportation services and other kinds of businesses." here

Say goodbye to the Everglades if this goes through. It is just a swamp anyway to most of you, even though it is your source of drinking water.  If we ever needed Charlie Crist we need him now. Charlie, save us from this development plan
