EPA And Frackers Destruction Of The Gulf Of Mexico

The EPA is endangering an entire ecosystem by allowing the oil industry to dump unlimited amounts of fracking chemicals and drilling waste fluid into the Gulf of Mexico, this appalling plan from the agency that's supposed to protect our water violates federal law, and shows a disturbing disregard for offshore fracking's toxic threats to sea turtles and other Gulf wildlife. here

Bob (El Alcalde) Buckhorn Of The MCM

Bob Buckhorn’s recent trip to China invoked charges of hypocrisy from critics, who compared his very different public stance when it comes to doing business with Cuba. here
----------
As a member of The Miami Cuban Mafia, El Alcalde as he is called by the family doing business with Cuba is unacceptable.

Florida GOP, Pro TBX Sandy Murman MIA

The Tiger Bay debate in Ybor was originally scheduled for October 7. Sandy Murman was unable to appear on that date so Tiger Bay reschedule the event around Ms. Murman's schedule to October 14. She confirmed almost two weeks ago, now suddenly has a conflict on this date.
"Maybe Ms. Murman doesn't want to defend her vote on TBX. Maybe she doesn't want to discuss the fiscally irresponsible transit 'plan' that she recently proposed that would have jeopardized our credit rating and threatened future essential services (police, fire, and rescue). Maybe she wanted to avoid having to answer questions about her donors - many of them developers - and why she often votes in favor of developer interests, instead of the residents of a particular area. These are all questions that may never get answered now that she is not going to attend the October 14 forum." here

Marijuana laws are changing all over the country, yet, here in Hillsborough County our elected leaders are banning 
dispensaries. County commissioners heard from 
a handful of residents
demanding commissioners ban new dispensaries from opening. here
So they did here. Is this a case of 
"Follow the money" 
or is "The Citrus Taliban" in complete control of
 our county commissioners?

Florida's Latino Population Is Going Democratic

The political leanings of Florida's Latino population have been viewed as an anomaly nationwide for years, with conservative Cuban Americans forming the heart of the Latino voting bloc in the state.  But a combination of changing demographics (e.g. the influx of Puerto Rican transplants fleeing economic conditions), generational shifts, and GOP defections has entirely reshaped the Latino vote. here
