Hillsborough County GOP Corruption

County commissioners are expected to vote Wednesday on $25,000 worth of subsidies to incentivize a Hillsborough County film company to shoot a film in Hillsborough County. The proposed incentive, designed to "secure the local filming of the motion picture," will cover 10% of the budget for No Postage Necessary, a film produced by Plant City-based Two Roads Picture Co. here
According to county records, the majority owner of Two Roads, Jennifer Closshey, has been a regular campaign contributor to commissioners over the last decade, donating $2,500 to Al Higginbotham, $250 to Ken Hagan, and $250 to Stacey White.
Mr Hagan and Mr. White, you guys come cheap!

El Guapo To Keep Up Fight Against U.S. Ambassador In Cuba

A year to the day after the Obama administration restored diplomatic ties with Cuba, the United States still doesn't have an ambassador officially representing it on the communist-led island. And if Marco Rubio has his way, that’s not going to change anytime soon. here

Turn Up & Turn Out For Trans lives In Ybor

Last Saturday night, employees of Southern Nights perpetrated physical, psychological and emotional violence against Miss Ed and we.are.not.here.for.it. Miss Ed was *maced* without warning and forced out of the club with impaired vision. The police officer on the scene verbally harassed/insulted her, then left without writing a police report. Miss Ed had to be taken to the emergency room for care where she was further inconvenienced and harmed by hospital staff.

We (you and I) are going to Ybor on Saturday night to tell the employees and patrons of Southern Nights -and other Ybor city entertainment venues- that violence against trans lives will not and cannot be tolerated. here

Florida Tourist Beware

The toxic tide of algae that has swamped waterways and beaches on Florida's Treasure Coast is a catastrophe for the region's environment and tourist-driven economy. It's also a broader threat to the state's international reputation as a vacation paradise. here

Temple Terrace City Council Censorship


Calling all Marijuana Activists. The Temple Terrace City Council is considering censoring cannabis culture. They may get involved with the Temple Terrace Chamber of Commerce to keep CFL NORML from marching in the Temple Terrace 4th of July Parade.  If the City Council gets involved, then they will be going out of their way to strip a marijuana advocacy group of their freedom of speech! This is a bias against cannabis culture and lack of respect for medical marijuana patients!  Join us in letting the City Council know that they will not be able to silence cannabis culture. Help us spread our message by showing our strength in numbers! Please come and show you stand with NORML! Let them know that they cannot silence the cannabis movement! info
