Cuban Spies In Ybor City
Everybody wants the Cuban consulate established in Ybor City. Much of the Tampa Bay area business and political establishment and the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners. Then along comes these two wild and crazy Hillsborough Republicans.
Danny Alvarez and E.J. Otero.
----------
Alvarez said: “I am quite sick and tired of the Tampa Chamber of Commerce and its like pushing a money-driven agenda veiled in false promises of freedom for the Cuban people. It’s amazing how blind one can become after a few mojito-laced walks through Ol’ Havana on “fact-finding” missions guided
by a government handler.”
And then Otero makes a fool of himself with this:
"If a Cuban consulate was established in Ybor City, potential spies for the Cuban government could end residing just four miles away from
Mac Dill Air Force Base." here
Mr. Otero you gotta lay off those John Grisham novels!

Tourist Beware: Florida Law For Intimidating And Shooting People
Tourist Beware
The Florida GOP, never one to leave bad enough alone when it comes to gun safety, is returning to the state’s notorious Stand Your Ground law to make it even easier for defendants to use it as
a shield for intimidating and shooting people.
Senate committees approved legislation this month
that would relieve defendants of the need to prove that they were in fear for their lives. Instead, prosecutors would be required to disprove the self-defense claim. here

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Has To Go
And she has to take her approach to building the party with her. How many times does Howard Dean's 50-state strategy have to be vindicated before the Democratic Party admits that he was right, and that Rahm Emanuel (and DWS)

Patrick Murphy, the Florida New Dems Senate nomination
has ZERO legislative accomplishments resulting from a Murphy authored bill signed into law by President Obama,
is the largest recipient of Wall Street contributions of any Democrat that sits on the Financial Services committeewith regulating)
Wall Street
voted FOR the Benghazi committee,
FOR Keystone pipeline,
:( FOR offshore drilling in Florida,
FOR cuts to Medicare, Medicaid,
and social security,
FOR cutting taxes on the 1%
while raising those on the middle and working classes,
FOR delaying Obamacare,
FOR delaying Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and AGAINST All Aboard Florida commuter rail funding.
He's been silent on raising the minimum wage to $15,
the Black Lives Matter movement,
and breaking up the banks. Why? Because that's what
his big money Republican donors want. here
