More Bullshit In Hillsborough County
The county paid a million dollars on focus groups, surveys and polls to tell them that more people would vote yes to a half cent sales tax hike than a full cent.
And their research showed residents want to see more of that money spent building and repairing roads than improving public transportation.
See chart above. This is a lie.
we want rail.
we want rail.
Rail wasn't even on the survey form. They told us to write it in. Check out our post on April 29, 2015 of the last meeting. here, It was all a sham.
At that meeting in Temple Terrace we were told that light rail, opponent and local Tea Bagger Sharon Calvert attends every meeting,

Miami Cop Antonio Torres Murders Homeless Man in Front Of 50 Children
(Fritz Severe) was “armed with a metal object” in front of dozens of children at a city park and that one, a 20-year veteran of the department, “confronted the subject and shot him 5 times.
Witnesses, however, said Severe, a homeless 45-year-old who was familiar to local residents in the Overtown neighbourhood, was posing no threat to the children or the two officers who approached him, and was only waving his walking stick at them. here
“He was a homeless man, wasn’t bothering nobody. The man walks around, we see him every morning with his stick, the same little stick that he had in his hand when the police officer shot him five times.” Nichelle Green
A second witness, Stephanie Severance, said: “They really didn’t have to shoot that man. What happened to the tasers? Why couldn’t they tase him?”

The Cuba Trade Act
Would finally end our outdated embargo policy and establish a new economic relationship with Cuba that will support increased trade for American businesses and help the Cuban economy and its people to flourish. here
66 percent of Americans favor ending the trade embargo. Latinos, in particular, believe the embargo should end with 73 percent favoring open trade. Many Republicans, and a few Democrats, oppose the Obama administration's push to reestablish relations with Cuba; most prominent among them is Florida Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio.

No Rail? No New Tax In Hillsborough County!
Mike Merrill is WRONG!
“Rail, per se, did not poll very well,”
County Administrator Mike Merrill
County Administrator Mike Merrill
When I atended the Go Hillsborough public input meeting in Temple Terrace on April 28th Rail wasn't even an option on my survey form. I was told to write it in on the back. It was all a sham.
As you can see on this chart Rail and
Bike Lanes are our biggest priorities

Hillsborough County GOP Corruption
The wage theft ordinance
(Miami-Dade model)
pitched by Hillsborough County Commissioner
Kevin Beckner was pushed aside by the five Republican members of the Hillsborough County Commission in favor of a watered down version that might cost the county more in the long run. They seem to favor an ordinance in Palm Beach County that sends $125,000 in public money to a local legal aid society to handle wage theft complaints. here
The Palm Beach model happens to be the one favored by the Florida Retail Federation, which lobbies on behalf of retailers and contacted

Tracey Carver-Allbritton: Racist In McKinney, Texas
What really happened
It appears that this situation wasn't because of a "fight" started between a group of "unruly" black kids - the fight actually started when a white couple came into an ongoing party of classmates and kids who all lived in the area to verbally abuse them
with racial slurs

Black fuckers
Go back to your section 8 housing
and slapped the teenage girl who hosted the party
after she tried to defend a 14-year-old white girl who was also at the party and had stood up to them. Then those people left and called the police on the party claiming the black kids were fighting each other. here

Some residents are defending the police violence. A sign thanking officers was on display Sunday at the pool. here
“This lady was saying racial slurs to some friends that came to the cookout. She was saying such things as ‘black effer’ and ‘that’s why you live in Section 8 homes, Then, according to Tatiana Rhodes, who is black, a white neighbor came up to me and smacked me in my face. Rhodes told E. Johnson, a photographer who recorded the conversation and uploaded it online

HOW TO FIX THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Fire Allison Tant and hire
Susan Smith
Democrats want to see real Democrats running for office. Mmobilize the base. The voters are there, the task is to give them a reason to vote.When you put up lifelong Republicans who can’t be differentiated from Democrats, there’s no reason for Democratic voters to vote.
Rick Scott is the poster child for corrupt government. And yet we didn’t beat him.we couldn’t beat him because we didn’t put up a true blue candidate (Nan Rich) who could challenge him on his policies. Instead, we put up a lifelong Republican (Charlie Crist) who’d just changed parties. Once you have your dedicated Democrat voting, they will vote for ALL the Democrats all the way down the ballot.
Put up corporate Democrats all you want. Keep giving us lifelong Republicans to vote for. We’ll keep rejecting them. Let us know when you’re ready to win some elections with some real true blue Democrats and we’ll be right there behind you.
Thank you The Florida Squeeze for this awesome piece.

Marco Rubio #1 GOP Chicken Hawk
On CNN’s The Lead last September, Rubio made it clear ground troops would “likely be needed” to “finish the job” on ISIS. He has quickly earned the respect of the hawkish wing of the foreign policy establishment, especially the neocons that got us into Iraq.
The wars Rubio decided not to fight in include: Gulf War, Bosnian War, Kosovo War, War in Afghanistan
and Iraq War. The American troops killed in those conflicts
totaled 7,041. here

Marco Rubio, A Man Of Many Religions
A conservative, anti-gay marriage candidate, has lost and found his religion several times. As a child in Miami, he was a Roman Catholic. When his family moved to Las Vegas, he became a Mormon. When the family moved back to Florida he became a Catholic again. And then, in 2000, he began attending Christ Fellowship in Miami, a fundamentalist mega church. Now he attends both Christ Fellowship and a Catholic church. He attends Christ Fellowship on Saturday nights and goes to Mass on Sundays at St. Louis Catholic Church. here
