It's Time For An Elected Education Commissioner
When Rick Scott came into office
he declared war on our local public schools. He cut $1.3 billion from
public education and backed legislative schemes to funnel even more of
our tax dollars to for-profit private school corporations. He’s done
nothing to address the FCAT one-size-fits all grading fiasco and on top
of that his hand-picked education commissioner just got caught cheating
and resigned in disgrace. It’s time to get Rick Scott’s politics out of our classrooms. It’s time for the people, not politicians, to choose our education commissioner again.

Mary vs. Al
April Griffin has ended her run for a Hillsborough County Commission seat. That leaves a two-person race between Republican Commissioner Al Higginbotham (Remember what he has done for us) and Democratic Tampa City Council member Mary Mulhern — for now.

it’sGoing To Last A While
Marco Rubio was on the Mark Levin show concerned about President Obama’s tepid reaction to terror threats in the Middle East. Maybe he had a phone in the golf cart, I don’t know,” Rubio said, adding that he had no reason to believe that the president wasn’t taking the threats seriously. Rubio pointed out, however, that he found it puzzling that Obama refused to call the struggle a “war on terror.” “I have a problem with that because we need to have that mentality — that, in fact, that this is a battle we’re engaged, it’s going to last a while,” Rubio said.
