Welcome To The New Everglades Walmart

One of the world’s rarest forests, a section of Miami-Dade County’s last intact tracts of endangered pine rockland, is getting a new resident: a Walmart. About 88 acres of rockland, a globally imperiled habitat containing a menagerie of plants, animals and insects found no place else, was sold this month by the University of Miami to a
Palm Beach County developer. here

Environmental protection is next to nonexistent under the Rick Scott administration. The oil industry wants to drill in the Everglades. Even the environmentally unfriendly Jeb Bush was never that bold. Michael Hussey

John Siegenthaler: A Southern man of vision

When the history of this era is written, 
it will recount how so-called
conservatives gave aid, comfort and intellectual cover to the ugliest of human impulses under the guise of 
political debate. 
People will wonder how we could have seen all that ugliness without seeing a thing, how journalists could have been silent and supine to the point of malpractice in the face of such obvious and monumental misbehavior. here

Give Gov. Rick Scott Credit

He knows right-wing, red-blooded Floridians love their guns. And Rick Scott has given them guns. In huge numbers. According to published reports, more pro-gun bills have been signed into law in Florida during Scott’s one term than during any other recent gubernatorial term. here

Jeb: Godfather of bogus high-stakes testing

Former Gov. Bush enjoys a national reputation as an education reformer — a neat trick considering the terrible harm he has inflicted on public education. 

Although the Legislature and succeeding Republican governors share responsibility, Jeb is mostly to blame for the bad things that followed his 1999 arrival in office. here

"I don't want to be the mayor of some white-bread Southern city,"

Tampa has historically always been a racially diverse city, and never more so than today. Latinos make up approximately 25 percent of the population in greater Hillsborough County, and blacks account for more than 15 percent. 

"When we're out competing for global business, the fact that our city was settled by Spanish, Cuban and Italian immigrants who came to Tampa for the cigar industry, makes us a lot more competitive because we look like the world, with all of its shades and ethnicities, we speak multiple languages as you do here in L.A. That's good." Bob Buckhorn
