Fellow Travelers In The Alternative Consciousness Community
Perhaps a brief review is in order.
Over the space of just a few short weeks, newbie Gov. Rick Scott, R-Lurch, has managed to:
Scuttle Florida's high-speed rail effort that would have meant tens of thousands of jobs by rejecting $2.4 billion in federal funding based on the financial due diligence equivalent of consulting a Wikipedia entry, a matchbook cover and Rush Limbaugh's website.

Local fellow traveler Chris Ingram is all excited.

Rick Scott Does Not Speak For Orlando
Representative Scott Randolph blasted Governor Rick Scott’s decision to return more than $2 billion already set aside for Florida’s high speed rail project.
“I thought Governor Rick Scott wanted to put Floridians back to work. Here we are two months into his term and the only thing he has done is propose budget cuts that put middle-class Floridians out of work, now he’s turning down funded projects that would directly create jobs."
“Let me be clear: Governor Rick Scott does not speak for me, nor does he speak for the district I represent."
Required Reading List for Tampa’s Next Policy Makers
"I see the 2011 City Elections as a crossroads for Tampa. We can continue along a path towards a continuous erosion of our quality of life and a gradual economic death OR we can take stock of where we are at in the beginning of the 21st century and how to begin to make our city a more sustainable, livable, pleasant place to exist for us and for future generations."......Kelly Benjamin
Awake The State
The people who teach Florida's future generations deserve better. No Florida public employee deserves a pay cut or a less secure retirement while billions exist in tax loopholes throughout our state's tax code.
