Rick Scott: Poppycock

A federal judge ordered a one-day extension in Florida's voter registration deadline and seemed ready to consider a longer delay against the backdrops of the recovery from Hurricane Matthew. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said the state should continue accepting voter registration papers through 5 p.m. Wednesday. He also set up a Wednesday morning hearing to consider a request by the Florida Democratic Party to keep registration open until Oct. 18 – a week after the initial deadline was set to pass. here

Floridians Stop Being So Fucking Stupid!

VOTE NO ON 1!
A poll conducted last month by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, shows support for Amendment 1 at 66 percent, with 
16 percent opposed.

More than three-quarters of the $21 million raised by Consumers for Smart Solar (Amendment 1) has come from the state's four largest utilities —- FPL, Duke Energy, Tampa Electric Co. and Gulf Power.
This is a sham. It is an effort to hinder the development of alternative fuels. Get your head out of your ass and pay attention.
-----------------
Duke Energy contributed $5.7 million, 
Tampa Electric Co. provided $3 million,
 and Gulf Power gave $2.1 million, 
in addition to FPL's $5.5 million.
