Rick Scott's Executions
Scott has presided over 18 executions,
including 13 in the last two years,
the most executions carried out by any Florida governor
in a single term since the death penalty was reinstated in the
1970s.
With another execution scheduled in 10 days,
Scott has already exceeded the 15 executions carried out in Gov. Bob Graham's
second term. Only Jeb Bush, who oversaw 21 executions in two terms over eight
years, remains ahead of Scott. here

Christian’ Conservatives Gleefully Celebrate
In a 5-4 partisan ruling the Supreme Court handed businesses the right to enforce their religious beliefs on their employees, so naturally the conservatives would be very happy about it. They get to punish women for having sex and appease their corporate masters. It’s a win all around! here

More GOP BS
It appears that President Obama, with 182 EO’s, still has to sign off on another 100 Executive Orders before he even comes close to tying with
George W. Bush – whose record stands at 291.
And Bush Jr. pales in comparison to Ronald Reagan who must have been the great usurper of the Constitution with his Executive Order count standing at 381! here

Not Getting Screwed
Florida Democrats are united behind a common goal Send Rick Scott packing.
Crist is being opposed by Senator
Nan Rich.
Nan Rich.
She was a good Senator.
But now she is backed by Republicans.
The RPOF Rick Scott team has
propped up Rich.

She has stubbornly compromised her legacy by running. She will be remembered as a spoiler. Someone whose sole purpose was to attack a fellow Democrat. Progressives knowing this have fled Senator Rich's camp
They have joined Governor Crist.

Rich has also been helped by outside forces. Republican funded outside sources. The racist group Progressive Choice. This group includes Democrats.
Dems disloyal to the party.

Our findings are explosive.
The depth and level of involvement of Republicans is staggering. Some Democrats close to Senator Rich have also been involved.
We look forward to reading it. We love Rich, support her and want a debate.
She has not compromised anything.
We are not GOP!

The Florida Un-Democratic Party
Leadership lacking on transit in Hillsborough
The comments last week by the chairman of Hillsborough County's mass transit agency illustrate why this region continues to lag behind other major metro areas in mass transit.
Mike Suarez, the chairman of Hillsborough Area Regional Transit, scoffed at the notion that the county would be ready to present a transit package to the voters in 2016. "The boat has sailed on that,"
he said. Best to wait until 2018.
That's a stall that has played out for decades, and it reflects a lack of vision and leadership that continues to hurt Hillsborough
and the Tampa Bay region. here

Feds investigating Hillsborough County Schools
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights is asking the Hillsborough County school district if it treats its black students differently. The agency is asking the school district to answer 42 questions within 15 days regarding an allegation that it is shortchanging minority students.
The allegation came to light after a former teacher said black students get harsher punishments and that students at low-income schools are denied access to experienced teachers. here
