United for Care Slams Marco Rubio
"It's unfortunate that Florida's senior senator and leading Republican
presidential contender, Marco Rubio, has taken a position in clear opposition to
the rights of the states to determine their own course on marijuana laws. As a
Floridian, it seems to me Rubio is proactively telling our state that he doesn't
respect the will of the people. Can you imagine if a President Rubio sent
federal agents to Florida to raid legal marijuana businesses and patients in the
case that he became president and we passed a constitutional amendment?" Ben Pollara
"This man will never be President." YCS

Florida's Partisan Balance
The proposed map rolled out last week
would affect most of the state’s 27 congressional districts and could
result in a shift in the partisan balance
of the state’s delegation. here
-----------------
Republicans now hold a 17-10 edge even though
Florida has more registered Democrats than Republicans.
----------------------
This will mark the third time since 2012
that the Legislature has drawn new congressional maps.
---------------------
One thing about Republicans, they are persistent!

We Want A Referendum To Kick Out The Hillsborough County Commissioners Because They Ignored The Referendum
Nearly 80 percent of voters in 2008 approved a referendum to give up to $200 million to the Jan K. Platt Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program to purchase pristine, sensitive land for preservation. Now the program is broke and its leadership blames the county. here
"It's a disgrace,what are they waiting for, another referendum for the next election to kick them out because they ignored the referendum?" Jan Platt

Stacy White said he expects to unveil a new proposal within six weeks to fund and "revitalize" ELAPP. Where is Kevin Beckner on this?
Does Ken Hagan need the money for Corporate Welfare or to give to Hollywood filmmakers?

Marco Rubio Has Worst Missed-Vote Record In The U.S. Senate

It's way past time to get serious about transit in Tampa Bay
In Tampa Bay cars are the #1 generator of greenhouse gases. The commission wants to ask us for a 1/2 sales tax that is 65%, at a minimum, for roads. The referendum even includes maintenance of roads, a core county function. That's not fiscally responsible. Why wouldn't we pay that out of our regular budget? We already have that money. We had almost $100 million unanticipated revenue this year and not a dollar for transit. What does that say? Email and call your commissioners
at this link.

Rick Scott Owes Florida $700,000
Florida is paying $700,000 to settle allegations that Gov. Rick Scott and other state officials flouted the state’s public records laws. The state agreed this week to pay that amount to Tallahassee attorney Steven Andrews. Andrews sued the governor and other top state officials back in 2013. here

Marco Rubio's "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act"
At the debate Megyn Kelly suggested that the Florida Republican would "favor a "rape and incest exception" to abortion bans. "I have never said that," Rubio objected. "And I have never advocated that. What I have advocated is that we pass law in this country that says all human life at every stage of its development is worthy of protection." But he appears to be wrong about never having advocated the exception. In 2013, Rubio cosponsored a Senate bill with wide-ranging Republican support called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act, which would have banned abortions after 20 weeks, and that bill had exceptions for rape, incest, and in cases when the mother's life was threatened. here
Bush also touted his pro-life record, adding that
He defunded Planned Parenthood
while chief executive of Florida. The St. Petersburg Times reported in 2003 that "Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida lost $124,000 last year from its family planning division. Bush diverted the funds to abstinence-only educational programs."
