Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Jon Steverson

Jon Steverson will be leaving his job at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. His new gig is at the law firm of Foley & Lardner. In a contract signed at the end of November, the DEP agreed to pay Foley & Lardner $96,000 a year to represent Florida in meetings of the Restore Council, a coalition of states and federal agencies that oversee spending the oil spill settlement money. here

-------------------------

The fact that DEP's leader was hired by a company that just received a DEP contract "doesn't pass the smell test," said Ben Wilcox of the watchdog group Integrity Florida. "It's pretty stinky. It's almost like the new job is a thank-you for sending the contract their way."

Letter From Dezeray Lyn

My name is Dezeray Lyn and I am the co-founder of Love Has No Borders, a grassroots Refugee solidarity movement based out of Tampa, FL. In light of the incoming administration’s vitriolic rhetoric rising an atmosphere and empowerment of race hatred, bigotry, xenophobia, racism, religious discrimination, white nationalism, homophobia, transphobia, neo-nazism, anti-Semitism, anti-Immigrant, anti-Women and anti-Muslim sentiment, we reach out to you in this time to show our unwavering support
and solidarity. here
