We want to live in Rick Scott's commercials too

John Romano: I have discovered a new and spectacular locale that defies belief. It is a place where the economy is bustling, and the problems are inconsequential. People are always smiling, the environment is pristine and no one seems to care about, or need, health insurance of any type. No doubt about it, I want to live in Rick Scott's commercials. here

Rick Scott's failure to create jobs

Rick Scott promised to create 700,000 jobs in 7 years, on top of normal economic growth. He failed to meet that promise -- and is now pretending he never said anything at all. 

My Fox Tampa Bay holds him accountable.

New poll shows 69% of Florida voters support #2

With 43 days until the election, and only days until early voting starts, public support for medical marijuana remains very stable:

Our new poll shows 69% of likely voters in Florida support this measure with only 28% opposed. 60% voter approval is needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment in the State of Florida. The findings are significant because they show voter backing of the amendment has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of 2013.  Previous polls (conducted by 3 different pollsters) showed support at 70% in January, 71% in March, and 70% in June. 

Here's what's clear: 

Keeping medical decisions in the hands of doctors - not politicians - is simply not a controversial position for the vast majority of Floridians, and that has not changed over the last twenty-one months.

Opponents of Amendment 2 have been relentlessly pushing disingenuous talking points, and insulting the intelligence of the voters.  They've got millions behind them - but their uber-wealthy funders won't be able to dislodge support if we stay strong.

The only way to ensure passage of this amendment is to have your support.  Please contribute here today.

Rick Scott fills a seat on the Florida Public Service Commission with a environmental disaster

Looking to a political ally to fill the job, Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday named state Rep. Jimmy Patronis to a seat on the  Florida Public Service Commission.

here

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." more

We can say goodbye to clean energy in Florida.

Rick Scott: 4,000 Lies

Rick Scott has lied to you 4,000 times. The press calls it false and misleading. We shouldn't be surprised. Scott pled the fifth 75 times to avoid jail after committing massive Medicare fraud. Fraud then -- fraud now. Rick Scott is just too shady for the Sunshine state.

Bill Nelson: Spoken Like A True Democrat

"Since taking office nearly four years ago, I believe Gov. Rick Scott has been leading our state in the wrong direction. And now, as a result, I think we're headed into the ditch. During his time as the state's chief executive, there's been an assault on Florida's voter laws, there's been a refusal to expand Medicaid to more than a million people, and there's been a deregulation of the state's health care industry, allowing rates to go up unchecked. Just imagine what he'll do if given another four years without any checks or balances. 

We can replace Rick Scott with Charlie Crist." Bill Nelson.

It's nice to see Florida Dems sticking together,unlike our mayor.
