Rick Scott's Jobs Costing Florida $11 Billion A Year
A new Study on the high cost of low wage jobs in Florida. The report found that near the nearly 39 percent of Florida’s workforce, about 3 million people, are working in low-wage jobs that cost taxpayers over $11 Billion a year in public assistance programs. The report comes at a time when both the state house and senate are considering a
$1 billion tax cut package
that would mostly benefit large companies. here

"The County Commission is now considering a major overhaul of the transportation impact fees developers pay for new development. For too long, the fees has left taxpayers burdened with gridlock and paying most of the cost for new roads. For the past two years, I have worked with Sierra Club and we have taken the lead in a campaign to have new development pay more of its fair share and to use transportation fees as a tool to encourage smart growth. This plan is a big break from the status quo."

Marco Rubio: Climate Flip-Flopper
Mayor Cindy Lerner of Pinecrest explains, (Rubio) was once in favor of action to stave off the worst effects of global warming --- such as the sea level rise already encroaching on south Florida towns like Lerner's --- before he decided to run for President and become a climate change denier. here
"Marco Rubio and all the Republican candidates who are in denial, it's really part of a campaign strategy, an ideology, that ignores the reality of the consequences we're facing," Lerner notes that where Republicans in Florida had once actual lead on Climate Change, since Republican Gov. Rick Scott took office in 2011, state GOPers have almost completely reversed course.

Florida Senate Appropriations Chair
Tom Lee’s home county has just come out against a fracking bill that will get its next hearing in that committee; on Wednesday the Hillsborough County Commission passed a resolution to oppose the bill to study and regulate hydraulic fracturing at the same time it forbids local governments from banning the drilling practice, as many have done. here

If Marco Rubio Represents Mainstream Conservatism, The GOP Is Screwed
Marco Rubio has become the darling of the Republican establishment.
Apart from his fresh face, virtually nothing about Rubio is new or endearing. His ideas are either conventionally Republican or uncommonly extremist.
HE IS: A Rabid Neoconservative,
Pro-torture.
Supports the unconstitutional surveilance program
Wants to dramatically increase defense spending even though America spends more on defense than the next eight nations combined. He represents the worst instincts of movement conservatism, and if his warmongering and tax cuts for the wealthy are what counts as moderate in today’s GOP, the Democrats should feel awfully good about their chances in 2016. here

Draft Linda Saul-Sena For Senate
“I’m flattered when people approach me, but I’m eager to see some fresh faces.”
She believes the Senate seat is definitely
viable for her party.
She’s just not interested at this point in her life in going for it.
. “That’s the seat where we need to find a great Democrat for,” she says. “There’s a lot of conversation about a lot of people, and I’m personally trying to think of wonderful people.” She’s now involved in efforts to try to stop The Florida Department of Transportation’s
Tampa Bay Express project. here
