GOP Tim Schock Running Scared
Tim Schock has had plenty of chances to debate Pat Kemp. He failed to show at last Friday’s Tiger Bay debate in Ybor City. . He has repeatedly declined offers by the League of Women Voters to schedule a debate. Sandra Sroka, president of the Hillsborough County League of Women Voters, said that the League had made tentative plans to host a forum between Kemp and Schock, but that Schock said he had a conflict on the initial date they proposed. She said they would see if they could change the date, but she says that after not hearing back from Schock, they had to make a decision. Vic DiMaio with the Tampa Tiger Bay Club says that Schock also had a conflict on the date that they had scheduled, and that they couldn’t reschedule. here

Schock is nothing but a developers pawn. With the $600 Million our current commissioners just gave away to developers he is the last person we need on our commission. With Trump bringing the GOP down and the Clinton landslide coming he knows that Kemp is about to kick his ass. Kemp is a local icon and has the voters trust. He, has nothing to say to voters!

Rick Scott Rigged Florida’s Medical Marijuana Program
With medical marijuana easily more popular than Scott IN 2014
Scott had to become a champion for medical marijuana. With Amendment 2 back on the ballot again this year (and looking good to pass) Scott-the-profiteer had to get ahead of it. In state legislative sessions from 2014-2016 Republicans pushed through regulations that shaped Florida’s cannabis industry into a for-profit pharmaceutical research lab controlled by six wealthy and politically connected groups. Given Scott’s history of fraudulent healthcare dealings, it should come as no surprise that he would ensure Florida’s program was designed to work for him and his friends. here

Rick Scott's Corporate Welfare
Florida INC. CEO Rick Scott wants $85 million to give to his corporate buddies. He apparently has given up on the idea that he can create jobs, which he claimed he would do in his election campaigns. Scott’s strategy to lure jobs from other states ignores the facts of job creation. Most new jobs are homegrown, not lured from elsewhere. here

Florida already has one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation and lax
environmental regulations.
St. Pete Beats Tampa
St. Pete was one of three cities in Florida to earn a 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. Tampa also came out above the state average with a score of 86. That’s down, however, from its score of 97 last year. All scores are based on a 100-point scale. here

Sandy Murman's October Surprise
$600 Million Slush Fund
----------
"It's really nothing more than a $600M subsidy for more sprawl - exactly what Hillsborough County does not need." Kent Bailey
-----------
"Just another south county giveaway. Hundreds of millions flows to south county, where the developers don't pay shit and neither does the sprawling tax base." Jason Ball
----------
"Politicians and government workers go to jail for misappropriation of public funds. Remind them."
