It is not all about lower taxes. It is about having decent public services, good infrastructure, excellent public education, more accessible public parks, museums and cultural experiences among other things. Florida under Republican leadership has not developed any of these things as well as it should and part of corporate culture is to have vibrant urban areas with all the amenities that are involved with that. Despite ranking third in population partly due to the low tax rate, Florida currently ranks 12th in Fortune 500 companies and 43rd in manufacturing jobs. These pathetic rankings come after the Republicans have had complete control of state government for 16 years.here

Public hearing on rewriting of SB 1030;
Calls on Legislature to pass broader reformToday the Florida Department of Health conducted a public hearing in Orange
County on rulemaking for Senate Bill 1030. SB 1030, also known as the Charlotte
Web Law, was passed in 2014 by the Florida Legislature and was signed into law
by Governor Rick Scott. This bill will allow for a high CBD, low THC form of
cannabis known to help people with epilepsy and sever seizure disorders.
The DOH's plan today was to rewrite the rules on how the cannabis oil
medicine will be produced and distributed. Florida for Care’s Legislative and
Policy Director, Dan Rogers, was present during the hearing. “While the Department of Health is making progress, this bill is just not
comprehensive enough for the vast majority of truly sick and suffering
Floridians,” said Mr. Rogers. He continued, “Florida for Care intends to
advocate for the passage of a comprehensive bill in the 2015 legislative session
that will allow all suffering Floridians who could see relief through the
medicinal use of marijuana to realize that relief.” Florida for Care will be working with members of the legislature to introduce
a medical marijuana bill following the broad majority support the issue received
in the November 2014 elections. “A half million more Floridians voted for medical marijuana than voted to
reelect our Governor. We need to make sure the will of people is heard and acted
upon,” stated Ben Pollara, Executive Director of Florida for Care. Florida for Carewill
spearhead legislation in March of 2015 in Tallahassee, setting the standard for
what the state’s medical cannabis system should look like and how it can
function most effectively. Such a system must balance three core principles:
first, safe, affordable patient access; second, a tightly controlled state
regulatory structure; and third, a robust, free market commercial
enterprise.

Pam Bondi. It's hard to imagine how someone who won re-election so handily could emerge from 2014 more wounded and diminished as our Republican attorney general. Put aside the unseemly junkets funded by groups seeking to influence her. Bondi's clumsy communication skills and relentless defense of Florida's gay marriage ban have made her a modern-day Anita Bryant.....more

My name is Christina and I am a law enforcement officer in Tampa Florida. Several months ago I discovered a colony of over forty cats and small kittens in an area where I work. I am in the process of building a large building which will be constructed into a kitty haven for these boys and girls to safely live out their lives free from worry and possible harm at the hands of humans. I am seeking assistance of any kind to help me with food and other necessities to carry this out. Most will need veterinarian treatment as well. Anything will help and I thank you for taking the time to listen to their story!here

FLORIDUH!! He didn't even fool you once, you knew he was a criminal. And then
he got elected. He cut funding for everything and gave to his cronies, he
ruthlessly cut disabled children's funding, locked up medically fragile children
in adult nursing homes, and he abandoned his own rescue puppy.
Fool you once, shame on you. Fool you twice... what the fuck? This proves Florida deserves the title of My Stupid State. here

Many people want to do something to help the bloggers directly. The most important thing is to read them, talk about them, comment on their blogs, share their blogs with others,
keep them IN THE PUBLIC EYE,
which is a shield that helps to protect them.
If you want to help with a donation, one way to do that, from the comfort of your home, is to put money in their cell phone accounts. This allows them to KEEP communicating, Twittering, making and accepting calls and text messages within Cuba and overseas.info

Hello, My name is Christina and I am a law enforcement officer in Tampa Florida. Several months ago I discovered a colony of over forty cats and small kittens in an area where I work. I learned that some people feed the cats when they are around but that is not constant because they are fisherman on shrimp boats. Although their intentions are noble, I have never seen fresh water put out for the cats so they drink out of rain puddles in the parking lot when available. As a result, everyone is dehydrated and almost all suffer from some sort of cold or upper respiratory infection. I am seeking assistance of any kind to help me with food and other necessities to carry this out. Most will need veterinarian treatment as well. Anything will help and I thank you for taking the time to listen to their story!
