Big Utilities Call The Shots In Rick Scott's Florida

In the first quarter of 2001, 
Florida ranked No. 4 
among the states for its use of renewables, including solar power, to generate electricity. 
By the first quarter of 2014, 
the state had plummeted to No. 16 
in its use of renewables.
 How did this happen? The most obvious reason is that big power companies here don't want messy renewables messing up their monopoly gigs. Florida's Public Service Commission, which is supposed to oversee electric utilities in the state, is perceived — on a good day — as incompetent and a puppet of big power companies and state legislators that control PSC nominations and enjoy utility largesse. Robert Trigaux

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Steve Southerland

This is how we git r done in Rick Scott's Florida
Standing alongside 
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, 
touted his proposed "Regulatory Overreach Protection Act, federal legislation to block federal oversight of waterways and wetlands in favor of state and local government agencies.  Although he describes its support as bipartisan, all but five of its 120 co-sponsors are Republicans,
  including U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Indian Shores 
No Florida Democrat is a sponsor. The bill would let the states decide which wetlands deserve protection, potentially saving farmers and developers time and money dealing with the federal government. here

Southerland's bill enjoys wide support from the Florida sugar industry which has faced increasing regulation over agricultural pollution, especially in the Everglades .
Did you know Southerland and Putnam recently hung out at King Ranch in Texas,
 Tallahassee Pay-To-Play Culture

Putnam, Southerland and representatives from business groups made some misleading assertions about the federal oversight of wetlands.
Putnam and Southerland each said bureaucrats "a thousand miles away" call the shots on wetlands. Actually, decisions about Florida wetlands permits are made in the Corps of Engineers' offices in Jacksonville, Tampa and other locations around the state.

Bishop Chuck: How we Git r Done in Tampa, Florida

On the orders of city hall 
I was targeted by the Tampa police department. As corroborated in the discovery material obtained from the TPD, the police spared no effort in their campaign to entrap me. They tried to get me involved in the delivery of drugs. I refused. They tried to get me to engage in sex with a prostitute. I refused. They sent an undercover police officer to try to get me to accept child pornography and I refused. Bishop Chuck Leigh
more

I understand the power of the Tampa mayor and the cruelty of the TPD. I have often told the street people in my neighborhood to refuse to move on when they are rousted by the TPD, but to back off when the police call for backup. I guess when faced with abusive power that is all was able to do.

RIP Robin Williams

RIP Robin Williams
 July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. Barack Obama

The Queen of Versailles

"The Queen of Versailles" was a film documentary based on the sleazy time-share mogul, David Siegel, and his wife, Jackie.  David had major financial troubles following Bush's 2008 economic crises.  He even had to stop work on his private home, dubbed "Versailles", which was to be the largest home in the U.S.  Poor guy. Naturally, Obama was to blame for this.  As you may recall during the peak of the presidential campaign, Mr. Siegel penned a letter threatening to fire all his employees and close down his Orlando-based company, Westgate, 
if Obama was elected. here
