Oligarch Rick Scott Laying Ruin To Florida
Scott’s net worth, according to the Tampa Bay Times, went from $84 million in 2012 to $132 million in 2013 to $147 million by the summer of 2015. In 2009, the year before Scott was elected governor, he feared health insurance reform would endanger corporate profits and formed the anti-Obamacare pressure group Conservatives for Patients Rights. Despite being reelected by a narrow margin in 2014, Scott remains unpopular in Florida; in most polls, his approval ratings have generally been in the low 40s. Scott, a persistent opponent of health care reform, has a long history of profiting from the U.S.’ troubled health care system. here

Florida INC. Schools

Boycott Puerto Rican Summit In Orlando
For the last 7 years, the non-Boricua Dynamic Community Development Corporation of Miami has gotten away with benefiting from an an annual event in Orlando they call the Puerto Rican Summit. They charge corporations interested in targeting the large Boricua market between $5,000 and $10,000 to display their products and services at this annual Orlando two-day event. We cannot allow people to financially exploit the fact that we are a large and loyal consumer market. more
Florida: Shady Solar State
What do you call a super sunny state with regressive and oppressive solar policy, actively working to prevent the healthy development of this clean and affordable source of power? Ironic? Shameful? For those who love a good pun, perhaps “SHADY” is the best term.
----------
Center for Biological Diversity recently released a report outlining 10 sunny states that are working so hard to keep distributed (rooftop) solar from expanding, and the analysis explains how this unfortunate work is happening. here

Rick Scott's Florida Low-Wage Mecca
And he's convinced his strategy of making Florida a low-wage mecca is a winning one. As evidence of his confidence, he used our tax dollars to pay for radio ads in the Golden State. One thing that allows our governor to be so exuberant in this endeavor is his ability to completely discount facts from his logic.
He manages to take one of Florida's worst attributes — the median income has dropped 12 percent in this state since 2007, the sixth-largest drop in the nation and turn that into a sales pitch.
