Judge Terry Lewis blasted the GOP-controlled state Legislature for working with political consultants to make a ‘mockery’ of Florida’s Fair Districts amendments — passed by voters in 2010 — that call for the decennial redistricting process to be conducted without taking into account partisan makeup or incumbent advantage. ‘Republican political consultants or operatives did in fact conspire to manipulate and influence the redistricting process,’
Lewis writes in the opinion.”

Rick Scott: Florida's Culture Of Corruption
Scott, rejected $2.4 billion in federal transportation money to develop a high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando. The architect of Scott's opposition to high-speed rail was Adam Hollingsworth, then an adviser to the governor on transportation issues.
