Florida GOP Sucker Punch Of Public Schools
Instead of being given a helping hand, Florida’s public schools are being dealt a big sucker punch. HB 7069, if signed by Gov. Scott, would devastate public schools, shortchange teachers, and finance a huge giveaway to corporate charter school chains.
--------------------
Call Rick Scott today at 850-488-7146
and say you want him to veto HB 7069.

Trump's GOP Attacks Florida
How would this budget directly affect Floridians?
----------
The budget looks to cut the EPAs Superfund programs and funding to global warming research. These cuts should be worrisome to Floridians as
----------
Florida is home to two cities of 20 major cities in the world (yes, the world) who are most vulnerable to rising sea levels. $670 million in FEMA cuts put us in danger during our unpredictable hurricane seasons.
----------
Many counties in Florida will also be hard hit by the cuts to health care. It cuts taxes for the very wealthy while leaving the poor, sick, and disabled out in the cold. It doubles down on cruel cuts to Medicaid – despite promising not to touch it.
-----------
In Pinellas County 40% of our children depend on Medicaid and CHIP for their care.

Bob White: Open Letter to the Legislators of Florida
For years I’ve traveled back and forth to Tallahassee attempting to have an impact on the legislative process. I’ve watched the way things have worked in Tallahassee and have become disgusted by it. The people of Florida have been shut out of the process. We have had our voices muffled and silenced. As one back room deal paves the way for the next back room deal, the people of Florida have continually footed the bill for pet projects, higher regulations (that we then have to live under), corporate welfare schemes and crony capitalism projects. more
