Solar panels,
but it is unlikely to come before voters:
The chairman of a powerful House committee believes
the solar industry isn't ready for it.

The Committee
Made by University of Central Florida students and professors, was recently named best documentary at Sanford's Love Your Shorts Film Festival. It tells the story of how a Florida legislative committee led by state Sen. Charley Johns from 1956 to 1965 targeted homosexuals at state universities.
Its effects on the state's universities were long-lasting. Its efforts "degraded the national standing of the universities in Florida and had a lingering effect that was felt several decades after the Johns Committee went out of business," says former Sen.
Bob Graham in the documentary.

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

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."
