Poverty In Hillsborough County

More than 200,000 people in Hillsborough County live in poverty. You need not look far to see the numbers corroborated — the homeless man spending the night on a swinging bench along the shiny, new northern stretch of the Tampa Riverwalk; belongings piled in front of an apartment after a family's eviction; services like the Joshua House for children in crisis bursting at the seams. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Big Sugar

The sugar industry has an edge over supporters of a plan to buy land to reduce Lake Okeechobee discharges, at least when it comes to the money both sides spent in political contributions in the 2016 election cycle.  Florida's sugar growers gave more than 
$11.5 million 
to campaigns and political committees since the end of 2014. Compare that to 
$561,000
 from board members and top employees at the Everglades Foundation and Everglades Trust. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Florida Housing Finance Corp

When thousands of Floridians were waiting for help in saving their homes, the agency awarded a total of nearly $443,000
 in bonuses to its employees.
