Florida Power And Light Customers About To Take It Deep, Again!

Florida Power and Light is about to rack up another giant bill that customers 
will end up paying for. 
 ----------
FPL got state approval to charge customers for more than $241 million in “advanced recovery costs” for two more nuclear reactors at the company’s aging Turkey Point plant in Miami.

Now comes news that FPL is trying to get customers to foot the bill for another expensive, dubious project — a new power plant near Lake Okeechobee that’s projected to cost a whopping $1.2-billion.

A billion here, a billion there, and we end up paying the costs every month for the rest of our lives. The price tags are so high, our children and 
our grandchildren will still be paying.

The kicker is that the power plant that FPL wants to build near Lake Okeechobee is not even necessary. here

Cuban Spies In Ybor City

Everybody wants the Cuban consulate established in Ybor City. Much of the Tampa Bay area business and political establishment and the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners. Then along comes these two wild and crazy Hillsborough Republicans. 
Danny Alvarez and E.J. Otero.
----------
Alvarez said: “I am quite sick and tired of the Tampa Chamber of Commerce and its like pushing a money-driven agenda veiled in false promises of freedom for the Cuban people. It’s amazing how blind one can become after a few mojito-laced walks through Ol’ Havana on “fact-finding” missions guided 
by a government handler.”
And then Otero makes a fool of himself with this: 
"If a Cuban consulate was established in Ybor City, potential spies for the Cuban government could end residing just four miles away from 
Mac Dill Air Force Base." here
Mr. Otero you gotta lay off those John Grisham novels!
Maybe we should make them members of the 
Miami Cuban Mafia

They can join Mayor Bob

Tourist Beware: Florida Law For Intimidating And Shooting People

Tourist Beware
The Florida GOP, never one to leave bad enough alone when it comes to gun safety, is returning to the state’s notorious Stand Your Ground law to make it even easier for defendants to use it as 
a shield for intimidating and shooting people. 
Senate committees approved legislation this month 
that would relieve defendants of the need to prove that they were in fear for their lives. Instead, prosecutors would be required to disprove the self-defense claim. here

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Has To Go

And she has to take her approach to building the party with her. How many times does Howard Dean's 50-state strategy have to be vindicated before the Democratic Party admits that he was right, and that Rahm Emanuel (and DWS) 
were wrong? here

the campaign wanted. here
