Florida's Charter School Ripoff
Charter schools, which are public schools run by private groups, have received more than $760 million from state taxpayers since 2000 according to an Associated Press analysis of state Department of Education records. Schools can use the money for construction costs, rent payments, buses and even property insurance.
Yet charter schools in 30 districts have wound up closing after receiving as much as $70 million combined in such funding. here

If we remember correctly they built The Tampa Bypass Canal
(Destroying Six Mile Creek) to keep the river from flooding.
So why now do we have to take the water from The Morris Bridge Sink?

The 809 Idiots Of Woodland, North Carolina
The city council rejected a proposed re-zoning for a solar farm after residents expressed concern that the farm would cause cancer deaths, kill plants around the panels, and drive away young people from the town.
But the best/worst reason
came from local
came from local
Bobby Mann,
who claimed that the solar panels would …
“suck up all the energy from the sun.”
Rick Scott's Soul
Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R-of course) has once again demonstrated just how much he doesn't care if people—children, even—suffer and die in ways that are totally preventable on his watch. An investigation by the Miami Herald has uncovered how the state gutted its Children's Medical Services, a program designed to help chronically ill and disabled poor children. here

Rick Scott's Florida Voter Suppression
When Republican Rick Scott took office in 2011, he immediately rolled back a policy of his predecessor, Charlie Crist, who automatically restored the rights of many felony offenders who had completed their sentences. Scott introduced new rules requiring that people convicted of nonviolent felonies wait five years before they can apply to have their civil rights restored; those convicted of violent and certain more serious felonies must wait seven years to apply. Under Crist, tens of thousands of felons, on average, won back their right to vote each year. So far, Gov. Scott has restored the rights of just 1,866. here
