Downside, only runs once an hour and
no downtown service on Sunday.
Insider scoop: Heard grumbling from the folks who live near MacDill Ave and lost their #4 and now have to walk to Dale Mabry. On Interbay half the way with no sidewalk.

Rick Baker's Inside Help
Poynter Foundation board member and
political operative Barry Edwards
Poynter needs to explain to the journalistic community that it allegedly serves exactly what criteria are used to select its board members. Are there any background checks? Why do Poynter/Times/Baker demand details of the 16-year-old charges against King but ignore the criminal missteps of Edwards? Doesn’t the Poynter/Times/Baker association with Edwards show a complete lack of judgment and standards? here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Erik Fresen
Erik Fresen is finally going to jail. He shouldn’t have never been allowed anywhere near our tax dollars — especially ones for the state’s public schools. He was what you might call an interested party in the constant battle for public dollars that traditional public schools fight with privately run charter schools.
-----------
Fresen was a lobbyist for Academica, a charter school management company that operates more than 100 schools, most of them in Florida. And he was also a $150,000-a-year land consultant for Civica, the architectural company that builds charter schools for Academica. Fresen’s brother-in-law is the founder of Academica.
------------
So it’s little wonder that in Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature, Fresen would take on a starring role as the architect of legislation that shifted tax dollars to privately run charters at the expense of public schools. here

Mobilization To Tallahassee To Stop Anti-Immigrant Efforts
We have to mobilize to Tallahassee on Tuesday. Our state legislature is trying to sneak through an anti-sanctuary enforcement bill that would criminalize and punish communities that try to create welcoming and protective environment for immigrants with heavy fines and restrictions of fund, in an effort to continue separating our families through deportations. here

Gus Bilirakis: Reaction To The Robert Mueller Indictments
"I support investigative efforts as we work to ensure that our democratic process is protected from external interference, but it's important that we are not distracted from the important work at hand like tax reform. Rest assured though, that anyone who has violated the law should swiftly be brought to justice. To date, I have not seen proof that there was any wrongdoing by the President or collusion between his campaign and Russia." Source

University of South Florida: Let Adjuncts Vote
University of South Florida adjuncts filed for a union months ago. Ever since, USF has done everything it can to keep them from voting.
It’s not right to deny adjuncts their right to a fair and free election. Add your name at right and tell USF to let adjuncts vote!
Adjuncts filed for a union election last semester, but the University has employed every possible tactic to block their vote. They’ve even tried to claim that adjuncts aren’t employees. It’s time for USF to stop dragging its feet and let adjuncts vote.

Florida's Koch Private School Network
With school choice efforts stalled in Washington, the billionaire Koch brothers’ network is engaged in state-by-state battles with teachers’ unions, politicians and parent groups to push for public funding of private and charter schools.

Beware of so-called Hispanic organizations such as the Libre Initiative.

In Florida mailings in Spanish and English supporting a Florida law that encourages charter schools in communities with low-performing schools. After Rick Scott, a Republican, signed it into law, the state Democratic Party said he’d “declared war on our public schools.”

Sowing the Seeds of Fascism in America: Repost From October 14, 2006
Author Stan Goff, a retired 26-year veteran of the U.S. Army Special Forces, sounds a warning call that many of the historical precursors of fascism—white supremacy, militarization of culture, vigilantism, masculine fear of female power, xenophobia and economic destabilization—are ascendant
