Pediatrician Silenced’ By Rick Scott
Sixteen people traveled to the Florida Capitol last week to testify on Gov. Rick Scott's Department of Health secretary and state surgeon general nominee John Armstrong but none was given the chance. Now at least one advocate has taken steps to make sure he gets heard. here
“It’s not really a democracy the way they do it,” said Tallahassee pediatrician Louis St Petery who wanted to share with members of the Senate Committee on Health Policy concerns he has with the direction of programs like Children’s Medical Services under Armstrong’s leadership. “What can you say? That’s the way they run the show.”
Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Marco Rubio
Marco Rubio pushed Miami-Dade County officials in May 2002 to allow a multimillion-dollar industrial development to be built on restricted land near the Florida Everglades, months after he backed a law as a state legislator that made it harder for people to challenge such projects. here

Laila's Elevator Ride In Tallahassee
I was in an elevator with several members of the Florida House. We had just gotten out of a committee hearing that passed the ludicrously unconstitutional anti-refugee bill (whose premise, may I add, is entirely bigoted and Islamophobic) and a Representative that should damn well know better walked into the elevator and jokingly hesitated while looking at me, "Oh, is it safe to ride the elevator with you." Everyone laughed. Every single one of them laughed (Democrat, Republican, white, black, old, young) as I was belittled with a wildly inappropriate remark that because I'm a Muslim this Representative should be afraid to ride in an elevator with me. It's not funny. It hurts.
Florida, nothing about our legislature reflects our amazing communities, my warm and loving neighbors and friends, and our Florida that I and many others fight for every single day. It's far past time that we take it seriously that the large majority of the 120 members of the House entrusted with the responsibility to govern and lead, are not fit to lead and are certainly not fit to govern.
Please help me get all of this
disconnected, bigoted, small minded, pos legislators out of office.
Oh, and on being an "ally": an ally, in moments such as today says, "Representative, that is not funny, it is offensive, please apologize." That's what it means to be a leader. That's what you should do when someone is belittled in your presence. Laila Abdelaziz

Florida INC. Shitty Water On Our Beaches
With tourist season just around the corner, Florida’s beach communities would normally be preparing for a happy, healthy summer. Instead, they’re reeling from polluted water that is likely to inflict severe damage to the local economy and environment. here
