Two-year anniversary of The Undercurrent
Florida One Of The Worst States For Tax Fairness
Not only can they not attract enough new business to the state, but Florida’s Republicans have crafted a fundamentally unfair tax structure that hurts workingfamilies and those who seek to be upwardly mobile in society.
It has long been the goal of Florida Republicans to reward corporations and entities that handsomely contribute to campaigns. here

Women Taking Over Florida Politics
Like us, you might be
discouraged about the state of politics in our country today -- the lack of
decisive action on some of our most pressing problems, the tone of partisanship
and disrespect among some public officials. Well, I am not ready to
give up just yet. I believe very strongly that we need more women at all levels
of public office! And to this end, several years ago I co-founded Ruth's List,
an organization modeled after the very successful national organization, Emily's
List.

Lyft Driver Lisa Roberts On Local Cabbies
"Sorry these old cab drivers spent so much money, but people spent a lot of money on 8 tracks and DOS computers, which didn't stop technology or progress.Riders prefer Lyft because our cars smell better, we don't mind short rides, they don't have to argue with us about payment and most importantly, we don't leave them standing on a street in the middle of the night!"
Tampa Cabbie/Blogger Tim Fasano fires back here
Legal or not, Lyft is a fantastic service that is a necessity, especially in a city with Poor public transit like Tampa.
We continue to show the world that we are (What the late great Neil Rogers use to call us) "A nose-picking town."

Tampa Cabbie Tim Fasano Calling For National Taxi Strike
Tim, you are filming a video while you are driving?
They're after us. Time to fight back
The opposition to medical marijuana just bought $1.6 million in
advertising - and is clearly poised to buy a lot more.
Their
goal? To keep those suffering from cancer, MS, AIDS, epilepsy and other
conditions from accessing the medicine they know works. We can't let
undecided voters hear their fear-mongering and lies without hearing the facts
from us.

Northbound on Florida Ave at Busch Blvd.
This driver is too good to wait in line like the rest of us. She has to take the vacant turn lane and cut in front of another driver. Does this ever happen to you? Do you let them in? Would you let someone cut in front of you if you were standing in line at the store? the bank? etc?

Currently we're 18th
Over the years utilities have grossly influenced the

Duke Energy Florida
and Tampa Electric
want to reduce conservation goals by more than 90 percent and have attacked solar as unreliable and costly. A new coalition will push for increased use of renewable energy in Florida. here
