It's Time For An Elected Education Commissioner
When Rick Scott came into office
he declared war on our local public schools. He cut $1.3 billion from
public education and backed legislative schemes to funnel even more of
our tax dollars to for-profit private school corporations. He’s done
nothing to address the FCAT one-size-fits all grading fiasco and on top
of that his hand-picked education commissioner just got caught cheating
and resigned in disgrace. It’s time to get Rick Scott’s politics out of our classrooms. It’s time for the people, not politicians, to choose our education commissioner again.

Mary vs. Al
April Griffin has ended her run for a Hillsborough County Commission seat. That leaves a two-person race between Republican Commissioner Al Higginbotham (Remember what he has done for us) and Democratic Tampa City Council member Mary Mulhern — for now. The at-large seat is not until 2014. Newcomer and Democrat Cristina Cain recently filed paperwork announcing her attention to run and former commissioner and Tampa council member Tom Scott, a Democrat, said he is still considering getting into the contest......more Visit Al's countdown clock here www.alhigginbotham.info

it’sGoing To Last A While
Marco Rubio was on the Mark Levin show concerned about President Obama’s tepid reaction to terror threats in the Middle East. Maybe he had a phone in the golf cart, I don’t know,” Rubio said, adding that he had no reason to believe that the president wasn’t taking the threats seriously. Rubio pointed out, however, that he found it puzzling that Obama refused to call the struggle a “war on terror.” “I have a problem with that because we need to have that mentality — that, in fact, that this is a battle we’re engaged, it’s going to last a while,” Rubio said.

Tampa Police Chief Addresses DUI Investigation Scandal
On
the very same day that the Washington Post reported on Republican
presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul’s call for more school vouchers and
expanded charter programs, the Associated Press exposed a frantic
behind-the-scenes operation in Indiana to raise the grade given to a
charter school run by a major Republican donor. As Rick Perry might say,
“oops.” - See more at:

Florida Release Marissa Alexander Immediately
Miss Alexander fired a WARNING shot in the state of Florida in self
defense to keep her abusive husband away from her, and was found guilty
and sentenced to 20 years after 12 minutes of deliberation. Her right to
use this defense and be found not guilty was violated because she was
protecting herself from harm. Spousal abuse should never be tolerated on
any level.

Pathetic Florida Legislators
Hey, elected clowns! Thanks for passing a law forcing Duke Energy
customers to pay up to $1.5 billion in higher rates for a long proposed
nuclear power plant in Levy County that will not be built. Customers, you're not getting any of that money back. This borders on fraud. If our elected officials had not rubber-stamped it into law seven years ago, it probably would be. And get this, new Duke CEO Lynn Good says she wants to change the rules in Florida so
that any type of big power plant can be charged in advance to its
customers. The executive sees gold by stiffing customers instead of
shareholders for all mega-projects.......more

Tampa City Council Making Us Look Bad
Tampa, Florida: Homeless People Thrown in Jail For...Sleeping?
Mass incarceration: the answer to all our problems. Last week, the city council passed two ordinances that ban panhandling in much of the city and allow police to arrest people
for sleeping or storing their stuff in public spaces. Courts have
previously ruled that public behaviors people must engage in to stay
alive, like sleeping and eating, cannot be banned without ensuring the
resources that provide them with alternatives, but the council did not
increase funding for shelters or transitional housing at Alter Net. What they are saying about us: The state of florida doesn't even deserve a capital letter. It's a fetid swamp. Hey Tampa, "Stupid is as stupid does.
