Hillsborough County Right Wing Infestation

Florida GOP County Commissioner Sandy Murman says she is "probably" going to leave her district seat to run for a countywide seat in 2018. Murman faces a 2020 term limit. Jumping to a countywide seat would restart her term limit clock. here

DEMS BEWARE

Florida GOP Victor Crist and Ken Hagan could also be seeking new seats that would enable them to avoid term limits.

Big Majorities In Miami

The overwhelming majority of Miami-Dade voters don't see illegal immigration as much of a problem and generally think the government should be worrying about other things, according to a new poll.

Florida INC. Workers' Compensation Policy

Florida is already one of the hardest states for workers seeking treatment or lost wages when injured on the job. Now lawmakers are trying again to make it more difficult for employees to sue when they have wrongly been denied workers' compensation. Senate bills would impose new caps on workers' attorney fees in such disputes, which critics say will discourage lawyers from taking cases. here

------------

Backers don't entirely deny the charge.

"What we're trying to do is reduce attorney involvement in the system," said Rep. Danny Burgess, a Zephyrhills Republican leading the House legislation.

Florida GOP Next Scheme

It's called Project Majority Red 

They hope to wipe out as much Democratic blue in the state as they can by winning the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Bill Nelson. The GOP also wants the next governor to be Republican. 

-----------------------------

They're hoping letters will be the key to winning those seats.

“There’s a third of the voters in Florida, or 30 percent, have gone NPA, so it's a big segment and growing,” said Rep. Francis Rooney of Naples.

Rooney believes it's important to win over those voters. here
