Florida Call For An Investigation Into The King Ranch Scandal

Gov. Scott and his legislative allies have allowed sugar industry polluters to foul the Everglades and stick taxpayers with the tab to clean up their mess.
 Is it a mere coincidence they've done this while accepting expensive hunting trips to the exclusive King Ranch in Texas on Big Sugar’s dime? It’s time for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to quit her partisan antics and get to the bottom of the King Ranch political scandal that has engulfed Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican Party. here

Florida Republican's Sugar Daddy

 On a Friday in February 2013, Gov. Rick Scott stepped aboard a Texas-bound plane to take part in a secret ritual for Florida’s GOP. Scott was departing for historic King Ranch, one of North America’s premier hunting grounds. The trips, records indicate, were financed all or in part with contributions from Florida’s sugar industry, right down to the hunting licenses. here

Scott won’t answer questions about his trip. After weeks of requests from the Times/Herald. The urge to keep details about the trips confidential is so strong among Florida’s elected officials that Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam’s press secretary shut a door in the face of a reporter asking about King Ranch. “You’ll have to talk to the Republican Party of Florida, since it was their fundraiser,” Putnam said as the door closed.

GOP Tallahassee Keeps 800,000 Uuninsured

Don't be fooled by Florida GOP legislators who defend their refusal to accept Medicaid expansion money as a responsible conservative position

Florida GOP Is Costing Us $50 billion

The U.S. government wanted to give Florida $50 billion in taxpayer money
Money you paid into the system through 
income taxes
To provide Medicaid to roughly 1 million Floridians who would otherwise go uncovered.
 There was zero cost to the state for 10 years, after which we would have to kick in 10 percent.
Instead, Scott and the GOP blocked expansion and turned away the money, not because it was best for Florida, but because it was best for the GOP. Republican state legislators said no to free health care for 1 million Floridians, costing all of us taxpayer money in the end, as well as the associated jobs that would have been created. 
And most importantly to most of us, costing lives.

Florida GOP To Cost Business Millions

The Medicaid expansion refusal is the doing of one man:
GOP Speaker of the House
Will Weatherford

We're losing out on
Seven to ten million dollars a day
tax money sent to the federal government  that other states will now get.
It may be responsible for the deaths of as many as
Six Floridians a day.

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?
more>
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.

Will Weatherford: Fuck The Poor

According to his father,
the family accepted more than $100,000 in Medicaid dollars to pay the bills of Weatherford’s cancer-stricken 13-month-old brother,
who died in 1995.
 Weatherford has refused to consider having Florida accept $51.3 billion in Medicaid funds. Weatherford has vowed that no bill for increased Medicaid dollars will pass through the Florida House of Representatives. There are currently 3.3 million uninsured in Florida.

  Floridians are still getting taxed for Medicaid.
Regardless of whether or not they receive the benefits.
 once again making the poor suffer for GOP policies.
