Florida GOP Corporate Welfare

Tucked on page 65 of a 187-page bill is a clause that continues to award $2 million in annual tax credits to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine for the next six years. Even in their analysis to members, House Republicans called the museum the single worst bet the state is making with tax credits. here
-----------------
 The Hall of Fame lists Rolex and Shell as two of its top corporate partners, yet has relied on taxpayer support since its 1998 agreement with the state.

Florida INC. Taking Over Cities

Right-wing corporate interests are pushing state legislatures to curtail the progressive power of city governments. here
----------------
Right now, there are two bills filed in the Florida legislature that propose sweeping new restrictions on local governments. One (House Bill 17) would bar them from regulating "businesses, professions, and occupations," the other (SB 1158), would expressly preempt "the regulation of matters relating to commerce, trade, and labor."

Florida's Subhuman Rat Guy

When a congressional issue unites the following list of subhuman rat-people, you know it's going to be something awful. One bill this year has brought together U.S. Sens. Tom Cotton (the dude who hates Iran), Jim Inhofe (the idiot who took a snowball inside the Capitol to disprove global warming), Rand Paul, Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, the Zodiac Killer Ted Cruz, and 
Miami's own Marco Rubio. here

Florida GOP To Deny Food Stamps To An Estimated 229,000 Floridians

The House Appropriations Committee passed a bill (HB 581) by freshman Florida GOP Rep. Frank White of Pensacola, that would restore income eligibility for households for food stamps to 130 percent of the poverty level, the minimum level set by the federal government. The household income standard was raised to 200 percent of poverty following the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009. here
-----------------
btw: $253 million. That’s more than a quarter of a billion dollars. It’s how much the state has handed over in taxpayer dollars for private lawyers, and fees for the state’s legal opponents, since Scott took office
 in January 2011.
