Bad News For Florida's Right Wing
Medical marijuana will be on the ballot in November,
which is bad news for Gov. Rick Scott and other Republican leaders
who oppose any relaxation of the state’s backward cannabis laws. public surveys continue to show landslide support for medical marijuana, and a majority favoring the decriminalization of small amounts for personal use. This is a thorny problem for conservative Republicans like Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who are up for re-election. They now have to sally forth and crusade against a popular cause, trying to stir fear and doubts among a constituency

TPD: How We Do It In Tampa

Save Tampa’s Jackson House
The local NAACP is rethinking how they feel about Mayor Buckhorn. It seems Mayor Bob has thrown up one roadblock after another in the saga over saving the house.
Bubba the Love Sponge and Linda Saul-Sena
tried to save Jackson House from demolition last September.
Both maintain the city obstructed the deal with last minute,
unreasonable deadlines and charges......more>
“The mayor has a vision of downtown, and let’s be honest, it doesn’t include African-American people.”...former Buckhorn supporter, NAACP member Yvette Lewis

Hillsborough Democrats Near Surrender
Just one Democrat remains in the running with four Hillsborough County Commission seats up for election now that candidate Mary Mulhern, a Tampa city council member, has withdrawn from the District 7 race for health reasons. To some observers, this scenario raises serious questions about the Democratic Party’s ability to compete in local elections.
Democrats have 61,000 more registered voters in the county than Republicans, yet the GOP has a solid 5-2 majority on the commission.....more>
“It starts with leaders recruiting candidates to run for office. There’s a lack of focus on the recruitment process at the state level. Their focus seems to be on getting people elected to Congress or statewide office.” Kevin Beckner
