Metropolitan Planning Organization Can Save Us From The Florida DOT

MPO don't include TBX in the Transportation Improvement Plan and they will leave us alone.
------------
FDOT District Secretary Paul Steinman in his desperation to ram Rick Scott’s political agenda through said that if you guys don't include TBX in the Transportation Improvement Plan, the FDOT will take the hundreds of millions of dollars they were going to use to distroy our city and distroy somebody else's. Hillsborough County can kiss interstate improvements goodbye, at least for the next 20 years or more. here
Please see if you can talk them into 40 years.

Gov. Jerry Brown Smacks Down Rick Scott

"Rick," wrote Brown, "a fact you'd like to ignore: California is the 7th largest economic power in the world. We're competing with nations like Brazil and France, not states like Florida." here
In other words, stay on the porch. Floridians this is on our dime.

Liberals Fortress Of Democracy In Miami

Headquarters of the Florida Alliance, a secretive Democratic group comprised of big-money individual donors and labor unions who grew weary of the Florida Democratic Party.
The group has used its considerable resources to push for causes favored by liberals within the Democratic Party. While the Florida Democratic Party fights to elect any candidate with a "D" next to their name, including moderate candidates in swing seats, Alliance donors want to focus their efforts on helping elect candidates focused on causes championed by progressives, including climate change, voting rights and immigration reform. here

There is hope people!

Florida Laborers Success Story

Don't ever think you can't make a difference!
Described as recently as 2003 by a U.S. Justice Department official as “ground zero for modern slavery,” Florida’s tomato fields are becoming an unlikely civil-rights success story. And the unempowered laborers who in 1993 formed the CIW in response to decades of violence, sexual harassment, wage ripoffs and even involuntary servitude have started a conversation that may even spread to Central America, South America, Africa and Europe. here
