Why Florida Democrats Are Losers
A flurry of political activity going on in western Orange County. The republicans are running vigorous campaigns. One the other side of the aisle is a single Democratic candidate without much name ID, support or money. As of his last report, he had raised $3,131 … with most of that coming from the candidate’s own pocket.
------------------------------
All this in a district that strongly supported Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump just nine months ago — by a double-digit margin, in fact.
"This, my friends, is why Democrats are chronic losers in this state … because they don’t compete. Heck, they can’t even organize." Orlando Sentinel

Tampa Mayor And The Tampa Bay Builders Association Want To Cut Down Our Trees
The City of Tampa is taking a comprehensive look at the tree ordinance and making changes. Recommendations from the Mayor's Competitiveness Committee ask for more flexibility regarding grand tree preservation, more flexibility for city staff to approve removals and rescinding the 50 % tree preservation rule in certain areas of the city.
---------------------------
The voice that has been the loudest in changing the city code has been the Tampa Bay Builders Association and the voice of the people needs to be heard.
Tampa Residents Want Their Money Back
For years, Tampa residents posted "5-minute parking" signs, like this one in Palma Ceia to keep people from parking for extended periods in front of their homes. But the city repealed the ordinance last month after they ceded their municipal authority over to the State of Florida. Now the City Council is looking at a residential parking permit program. here
-------------------------------
Is the city going to reimburse the taxpayers to whom they allowed to purchase these expensive lawn signs? Since 1989, the city approved of, and in some cases even enforced the ordinance that the individual homeowners (at their own expense) displayed.
Adam Putnam: Proud #NRASellout
Last week, in an embarrassing blip of social media that did not come from the president, Florida’s leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, Adam Putnam, tweeted: “I’m a proud #NRASellout!” This may be perfectly predictable behavior from a Republican vying to become Florida’s next governor. But it’s hardly a declaration of leadership or individualism. here

Florida Utilities, Were Warned Of Climate-Change Risks Since 1970s
Florida Power & Light: The third-largest utility in America routinely brags about how responsive it's been to the impacts of climate change, a new report outlines that it has known about the effects of climate change since the 1970s.
-------------------------------------
They along with Duke Power and the Panhandle's Gulf Power have for decades been funding PR campaigns to discount climate science as untrustworthy and untrue. The report also hits Gulf Power for funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to climate-denying scientists.
Rick Scott's Wolfe: Pete Antonacci
You remember “The Wolfe.” He was the character played by Harvey Keitel in the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction. “I solve problems,” was how The Wolfe described his many-faceted job working for a powerful, but unseen boss. Florida’s Winston Wolfe is Pete Antonacci, who fixes things for Gov. Rick Scot. here

The Solar City of South Miami
South Miami 4th City In the country that will now mandate solar power be installed in newly built homes or those subject to material renovation. here
-------------------------------
Developers and builders expressed ‘concern’ over the mandate adding costs to homes and that leading people to not be able to afford to buy from them. The good news is that that is not a very valid concern.
First, the local real estate market in South Miami (and South Florida) is robust. People love living here and are paying record prices for homes, homes often filled will all sorts of costly technology, kitchens or bathroom fixtures that you’ve never heard a builder suggest impacted their ability to build or sell a home. But they are somehow against solar and residents having free power from the sun? FP&L’s concern over the proposed new law and my guess is that they will work hard to fight it and do almost anything to protect their business. You need only look at FP&L’s shameful attempt to mislead voters last year on Amendment 1 here in Florida, and in the process reportedly spent millions of dollars trying to deceive voters on before losing. The ordinance won final approval Tuesday on a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Josh Liebman voting no. (Pic)
