Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Corporate Service Commission
Duke Energy Florida customers will see their electric bills drop on average by $3.45 a month starting in May after state regulators on Thursday approved an end to charges related to the failed Levy County nuclear project.
BUT
As early as Jan. 1, Duke plans to tack on charges related to the closing of the Crystal River nuclear plant. Those charges will reach $5 a month for the typical customer here, WTF?

Our Leader: Susan Smith
"We can't afford to lose more seats to Republicans by running former Republicans, or Democrats who otherwise can't be distinguished from Republicans."

Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida. here
“We cannot afford to replace Marco Rubio with another senator who will stand with the Republican caucus more than the [Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth] Warren wing of the party,” Smith said. “Patrick Murphy is wrong more often than he is right. Wall Street Democrats may have settled on him, but
progressive Democrats certainly have not.” here
Last month, 63 percent of the state's progressive caucus picked Grayson to run as the Democratic nominee and hinted that Murphy is too moderate. A poll at The Florida Squeeze has Grayson at 77% and Murphy at 17%. here
Grayson said he's considering running for the seat if another liberal Democrat doesn't jump into the race.

Pam Keith, Florida Democratic Candidate For US Senate
Left up to mainstream media, one would think that there is only one declared Democrat in the race for Marco Rubio’s U.S. Senate seat. In fact, it has been reported as such. There are some who want Floridians to think that Patrick Murphy is the only candidate that is in the race. That is not the case. Pam Keith is a delightful breath of fresh air in the staleness that is the Florida Democratic Party. here
Florida United for Care 2016
With Tallahassee incapable (to date) of passing a truly comprehensive medical
marijuana law, it is clearer than ever that it will be left to us to provide
medical marijuana access to the hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering
patients that need help.
So I want to be clear on one major difference between the 2014 and
2016 petitions:
In 2014, our opposition falsely claimed that people with nearly any condition
("headaches and hangnails" they liked to say) would be considered a qualifying
patient. We never agreed with that misrepresentation - and neither did the
Florida Supreme Court.
However, backed by an out-of-state billionaire, they
convinced a lot of voters it was true.
In the 2016 petition, we simply clarified what the Supreme Court said and
what our intent was: only people with serious, debilitating conditions would
have access. As before, a doctor will be able to recommend marijuana for a patient,
whether or not that patient's particular disease or condition is listed in the
amendment language itself. We could not list every possible debilitating
condition and didn't need to: It's not more limited or more restrictive. It's
just clearer. The Legislature has proven itself unwilling to address what 24 other states
have, so it's likely going to be back on the ballot - and this time we'll get
the 60% we need to win.
Please help support our efforts by making a contribution, here: http://www.unitedforcare.org/contribute
If you've already contributed, please make sure you have signed the petition
(here) and, please share this email with
at least a few of your friends.

Senate Bill 896 would shift the costs for moving utility lines on road and infrastructure projects from utility companies to taxpayers. Under current law, if a local government widens or improves a public road, the utility company must move or remove lines in the affected area at no cost to the government. SB 896 (and its companion in the House, HB 391) would shift that cost responsibility to the counties and municipalities — i.e. local taxpayers — for projects that are inside a public right-of-way and that are related to water and sewer improvements, stormwater/swale improvements, bicycle lanes, streetscapes, etc. here
"Corporate utility companies make large political contributions to legislators, while local governments cannot. The motivation behind virtually every bad bill can best be understood by following the money."
