Floridians Last
The governor's $79.3 billion spending proposal tilts heavily toward business. Scott wants a permanent elimination of income taxes on manufacturing and retail businesses; tax cuts on commercial leases over two years; and an end to sales taxes on manufacturing equipment. Just those cuts would total more than $1 billion. here

Pat Kemp: A Climate Change Plan in Hillsborough County
In Hillsborough County on Sunday, we rallied & marched in support of a sustainable future. We need our own local climate action plan with a significant investment in mass transit options and in solar and energy efficiency measures. We can create jobs, save money, and reduce fossil fuels locally. As a commissioner, I will work to move us to a sustainable, energy efficient future.
I need your support today.

Florida Frackers: Counties Fight Back
Dozens of Florida cities and counties oppose a plan to give the state control over the oil and gas exploration process known as fracking. Two Republican legislators, Rep. Ray Rodrigues of Estero and Sen. Garrett Richter of Naples, have proposed bills that would give the state authority to regulate oil and gas exploration, production, processing, storage and transportation. here

Rick Scott's Cronyism
Cronyism continues to thrive in the Governor's Mansion.
The State Board of Education should be a bastion of people immersed in learning and dedicated to advancing student opportunities and success.
Instead, Gov. Rick Scott filled the seat held by John Colon, who resigned when the governor appointed him to the Manatee County School Board, with a close friend, a pal with little experience in education. here

Climate Change Rally in Seminole Heights
A Real Choice For Florida Dems
Democrats,
for once,
have a real choice in this primary:
have a real choice in this primary:
One candidate is a gullible ex-Republican who lacked the courage to vote against the GOP’s attempt to block Syrian refugees from coming into the United States. That’s
Patrick Murphy.
They say that there is no difference between most candidates running for office. Maybe that’s true in other races, but not here.
Not between
Alan Grayson
and Patrick Murphy.

Fake Florida Dem Alert: Randy Perkins
The millionaire is expected to spend more than $1 million to win U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy's open seat as a Democrat, He was registered to vote with no party affiliation for 21 years and became a Democrat days before he filed to run for District 18this month. An analysis of $925,300 donated by him since 2002 to federal and Florida candidates, as well as political committees, show 70 percent went to Republicans. That includes Gov. Rick Scott, whose political committee in 2010 received $100,000. here

United for Care Deadlines Are Looming
Deadlines are looming for this campaign. We have to make sure we get 683,149 petitions in by January. Realistically, based on when the bills for petition collection are due, we need to raise another $73,000 by the end of the year. We're hoping to raise another $23k Tuesday, if we can. The longer it takes, the more expensive it becomes.

Patrick Murphy In Damage Control
Sean Phillippi's effort at diverting attention away from Patrick Murphy's Syrian refugee vote at the Florida Squeeze
----------
What our leader Susan Smith had to say:
"This post is an effort at damage control by Murphy’s campaign. They think they can divert attention away from his Syrian refugee vote by attacking Grayson. It’s sad that Murphy doesn’t ever have anything positive to say about himself." #47cowards

At China Latina in Tampa
It's suppose to be a Polomilla. We run these post to promote eating local not to be food critics. But we had to warn you. This place is at Busch and 40th, across from Busch Gardens. I have never seen a cut of beef like this before. I could not eat it. It could be a thin Ribeye, but I think it was cat. Beware of what you order here, If you dare to eat there. This is what I get for ordering
Cuban food at a Chinese restaurant. Yuk!
