Florida Frackers
File bills that would prevent communities from regulating fracking.
----------
On Sept. 17, Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, introduced SB 318 (aka, "Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources"). The bill summary is completely blunt about what it's proposing: "Preempting the regulation of all matters relating to the exploration, development, production, processing, storage, and transportation of oil and gas."
----------
Meanwhile, over in the House, Rep. Ray Wesley Rodriques, R-Fort Myers, filed a bill the same day that would do essentially the same thing as SB 318. Rodrigues' bill, HB 191, declares that it's the state's job to regulate all things relating to the oil and gas industry, "to the exclusion of all existing and future ordinances or regulations relating thereto adopted by any county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state.
Hey, Ft. Myers and Naples. We got your back!

New Dems puting their thumb on the scale for a chosen candidate
Today, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida (DPCF), a chartered caucus of the Florida Democratic Party, called on DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to expand the presidential primary debate schedule.
"Chair Wasserman Schultz not only made the decision to limit debate among our candidates, she scheduled the debates during weekends and holidays when television viewership is known to be low," said DPCF President Susan Smith. "What was she thinking?"
----------
"By refusing to give Democratic candidates an equitable debate stage with Republicans, she is allowing the normalization of extreme rhetoric that is filled with hatred and lies. Positive and inspiring Democratic voices are not being heard," Smith said. "Much like we saw in 2009 when Democrats failed to answer right-wing falsehoods about the President's healthcare plan, the vacuum is being filled with the Republican narrative."
