Open letter to the Florida Democratic Party
The statewide lack of a coordinated and powerful response to the gerrymandering happening right now is shocking to behold. The right to have their vote counted is sacred to every American, yet you have spent more time discussing the lack of democracy in Cuba, than the destruction of it here. It's not as though we don't have capable and credible leaders sitting in powerful positions with access to mass media, resources to mobilize large peaceful demonstrations, and knowledge of the issue to counter the lies with. What is missing is action. The fecklessness that exists in place of committed action is accompanied by a rationalization: we are already screwed, so might as well let it continue and work on other things. But who convinced you of that?
We know that a searing corruption is widespread and runs deep into the synapses of Florida's politics. It is apparent in the millions without health care, the massive fish kills and toxic algae blooms, the drug overdoses and gun violence, the traffic jams and tolls, the human trafficking and extortion, the governor's willingness to sacrifice Floridians' lives to COVID, the attacks on our public schools, and the fact that Florida leads the nation in violent insurrectionists arrested for attempting to overthrow the Constitution of The United States.
It is evident when a party with almost the exact same number of voters as it's opposition allows that opposition to rig voting districts in a way that 50% of the votes in our close elections gives them two thirds of the legislative seats. Do you like being marginalized? You hold the reins to a membership that encompasses more than 5 million Floridians, yet you refuse to mobilize this incredible power against a fundamental threat and deliberate attack against our most basic right to be represented in our own government. That refusal happens despite the moral imperative, and despite popular support for equal representation extending far beyond party lines. That is the definition of dereliction, and it is undeniable malfeasance.
Every single elected representative of the Democratic Party should be talking about THIS issue every single day as though it is an existential threat to your own existence. A loud, sustained, and reverberating condemnation is the only justifiable response to this theft of our rights happening in broad daylight. If the party is not willing or not able to fight on THIS issue, there is no point to having a political party except to fill some pockets and enable an illusion that laws or democracy even exist. Yet the irony of this is that those pockets will be emptied and that illusion will vanish the instant laws and democracy do cease to exist.
The time to demand change is now. You won't get another try.

Commissioner Mariella Smith Fertilizer Ordinance
Last summer, when horrible masses of bloated dead fish were piling up on our beaches, stinking up the shorelines from Bayshore Blvd., to Ruskin, I promised to work to limit fish-killing pollution in our waters. Since then, I have been working with County Attorneys and environmental scientists to craft a strong ordinance that will regulate fertilizer use in Hillsborough County and reduce nutrient pollution to the bay and other water bodies in the region.
