Rick Scott Packing Court
In a move that critics claim smacks of an attempt to pack the court, Florida Gov. Rick Scott this week announced plans to appoint someone to replace a judge leaving the Palm Beach County bench even though the county’s elections supervisor said state law calls for the replacement to be elected by voters. here

“I think the governor is trying to steal the electoral process from the voters of Palm Beach County. He would like a more conservative bench than currently exists." Attorney Gregg Lerman

Another Floridian Goes Off On Rick Scott
Letter to The Lakeland Ledger
"Defunding Planned Parenthood will limit a woman's access to birth control, an access that actually reduces the need for abortions. You are limiting the constitutional rights of all Floridian women, returning us to second-class citizens. What a legacy as governor. You disgrace Florida and bring harm to those you are supposed to serve. But service for your constituents has never been on your agenda. Florida does not want you as a senator."

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Pam Bondi
"Pam Bondi is the John Henry, Walter Payton and Steve Jobs of the nation's attorneys general. All work, work, work, work. Burning the midnight oil. Leaving no stone unturned. Taping her eyes open to stay awake filing those legal briefs, preparing closing arguments, researching the intricacies of the law."
GOP Hillsborough County Commissioners: "A Profile In Cowardice"
Tea Party rules around here!
The county commission voted 4-3 on Wednesday night to reject the proposed 30-year, half-cent sales tax, refusing to put it on the November ballot and letting voters decide.

The county commission voted 4-3 on Wednesday night to reject the proposed 30-year, half-cent sales tax, refusing to put it on the November ballot and letting voters decide.
here
----------
"Sadly tonight a majority of the County Commission has refused to give the citizens of Hillsborough County an opportunity to decide for themselves whether their future includes a better transportation system. Rather than a profile in courage this vote was a profile in cowardice." Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn
----------
"I am very disappointed that after years of work this board was not able to build consensus, I do look forward to the continued dialogue at our upcoming meeting and I'm hopeful that we might still be able to come to a consensus on such an important community issue as transportation." Kevin Beckner
----------
Matthew Durshimer was all for the 30-year sales tax. He said it was the only way Hillsborough would attract corporate relocations and a younger workforce. Only the 30-year tax, he argued, would allow the county to build a real transit system. "And if the answer is no, then expect all the problems of today to get worse tomorrow," Durshimer said, "and expect all the young professionals like myself to leave this commununity.
----------
Sandy Murman wants the board to hold yet another transportation workshop in the near future. It passed unanimously. GO Hillsborough was meant to fail from the begining. It was all a sham. herePlease note, it was smart what they did. It would not have passed.
To much for roads and not enough for rail.

Rick Scott We Got Your "Liberal Incompetence" Right Here!
Rick Scott Facebook post:
It is time for the ‘Stop Trump’ movement to end. Yesterday’s election results show that the anti-Trump efforts didn’t work.
Republicans now need to come together. Donald Trump is going to be our nominee, and he is going to be on the ballot as the Republican candidate for President. The Republican leaders in Washington did not choose him, but the Republican voters across America did choose him. The voters have spoken.
If the anti-Trump groups don’t stop now, their efforts will be nothing more than a contribution to the Clinton campaign.
The damage that President Obama has done to our country is serious and substantial. We cannot afford another four years of liberal incompetence, and that is exactly what Hillary Clinton would bring.
We’ve had an extensive debate amongst ourselves, it is now time to get serious about winning in November. This was a hard fought campaign, but now is the time for Republicans to unite.
Vote Asher for Delegate!
Rick Scott Spending Our Money To Hurt Workers In California
He is going to California to persuade businesses to relocate to Florida, and has prepared a brutal ad for the occasion. The one-minute spot trashes the Golden State and, implicitly, Gov. Jerry Brown for approving legislation to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15. here
California has added twice as many jobs as Florida, while paying down debt, building a robust rainy day fund and taking bold action on issues CEO Scott continues to ignore, like climate change and poverty.

Mel “The Moocher” Sembler
Friend, Two things you KNOW about me: First, I’m for the people. Second, I put my money where my mouth is. I made a commitment to see compassion come to Florida in the form of medical marijuana and I’ve put over $7 million of my own money towards fulfilling that commitment.
Mel “the Moocher” Sembler isn’t either of those things. Last Friday, Mel the Moocher announced he was going to raise $10 million to defeat medical marijuana in Florida. He raised $7.5 million last time. Guess how much Mel the Moocher put in of his own money in 2014? Only 1.3% of the $7.5 million he raised. $100,000.
It’s easy to talk a big game when you’re spending your rich Uncle Shelly’s money, I guess. Mel's all hat, no cattle. If there is one thing in the world I can’t stand, it’s bullies. I’ve made my living beating up bullies.
Mel the Moocher is a bully.
Mel the Moocher is a bully.
I am not going to let this man bully the sick and suffering people of Florida in 2016.
WE. WILL. NOT. BE. BULLIED. - John
Florida DINO Patrick Murphy's Donations
In touting the $2 million Democrat Patrick Murphy raised during the first three months of 2016, his U.S. Senate campaign made a point to note that “over 85 percent of contributions in the first quarter were under $200.”
But while small-dollar donors might have donated thousands of times to the Jupiter congressman, they are far from being the predominant source of his Senate campaign’s income, either last quarter or in general so far.
His primary opponent, fellow U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is actually the one getting the most traction among small-dollar Democratic supporters. here

Florida GOP Carlos Beruff
During the question-and-answer session that followed a speech to the Broward County Republican Party on Monday night, Carlos Beruff was asked by someone in the audience about his position on Muslim immigration. "Ah ha," he said. "I think our immigration department is broken. And I don't think it's safe to allow anybody from the Middle East into this country." Most of the audience of about 200 Republicans gathered at Deicke Auditorium in Plantation erupted in applause and some cheers. When asked about Israel, he said the ban wouldn't apply to people from that country. here

The Citrus Taliban Attacks Florida Supreme Court
Florida GOP Steve Crisafulli and Richard Corcoran attack the Florida Supreme Court’s 5-2 decision to suspend the state’s 24-hour waiting period for an abortion.
Crisafulli: “In my opinion, this has been one of the most activist and overreaching state Supreme Courts in recent memory. I believe our government works best when all sides respect the balance of power. It appears that several of our Justices seem to believe it is their job to invalidate any action of the Legislature, regardless of the law and constitution.”
Corcoran: “Apparently, abortion activists, and their liberal allies on the Supreme Court, are no longer content just for abortion to be legal; their goal seems to be to ensure that the maximum number of abortions are performed each year in Florida. How else would you explain opposition to a law that simply protects women from being pressured or bullied into making a life-altering decision?”
Of course that’s pure bunk. It’s part of the effort by a GOP that’s increasingly out of touch on social issues to attack the authority of any court that Republicans haven’t stacked. Their strategy is to undermine courts until they can rig them to overturn any progressive legislation that might be passed in the future. here

Local Treasure: Asher Edelson
Florida Latinos Turning Liberal
That view is supported in new research that suggests Cuban Americans in Florida are uniting, particularly the younger generation who will consider more liberal candidates, with other Latinos across party lines in the 2016 election. A new survey indicates that 65 percent of Florida Latinos say they don’t believe the GOP cares about them or is sometimes hostile to Latinos. That number is similar to the 73 percent of Latinos nationally who feel the same way about the GOP, according to the poll. here
