Tallahassee Is Stealing Our Money

Those are local dollars
 Locally-raised money, shouldn’t be used to assist other communities that didn’t have the political foresight to provide for the
care of their most needy residents.”
 Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandra Murman
 
Because Hillsborough’s share is “diluted,” it won’t get as much federal money as it would have, said Tony Carvalho, the hospital alliance’s president  “It’s like forcing them to share their money
with everybody in the state,”......more>
 
“The goal of the formula is to take local public health funds provided by certain communities, and the federal match they earn, and share those benefits with communities that provide no local health funds to Medicaid, and to hospitals that provide little care to Medicaid patients,”
Tampa General spokesman John Dunn

Share, share, share, sounds like  socialism to me.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Jimmy Patronis

 Rep. Jimmy Patronis GOP Panama City
 Every year during the legislative session in Tallahassee, he pushes a bill to destroy Florida's environmental regulations, 
Last Year
 Bill to block local governments from protecting thousands of acres of wetlands. Which passed
This Year
 He has  introduced a destructive bill that will prevent local governments from being able to protect their own water supply. 
HB 703 not only prohibits local governments from enforcing wetlands, springs or storm water protections – it takes the decision-making powers out of their hands and gives it to Tallahassee politicians.
 
Frank Matthews, who lobbies on behalf of developers, phosphate miners, boat manufacturers, sugar growers, power companies and a garbage company said 
"I can't say enough good things about him He couldn't be more accommodating. That's the appealing thing to me."

Corporate special interests
are pressuring the Florida House to
stop local governments from cracking down on
employers who steal from their workers.
How disgusting is this?

The Florida Retail Federation, representing mom & pop operations such as
 Walmart and Macy’s,
made upwards of $2 billion in “campaign contributions” from 2004-2012.
Most — 77 percent — went to Republicans, including Scott and the current crop now in legislative session.  
Call your state representative today at 888-714-5779 and tell them to vote NO on HB 957.

 Florida is one of the few states in the US that doesn’t have a
