High Speed Ferry Project Threatened!

After 5 years, $150,000 and 2 exhaustive site selection studies only one site was ever found to be either environmentally acceptable or economically feasible. But now the future of the Schultz Ferry Park is very much in doubt. And as a key component of south Hillsborough transit plans, losing the ferry project jeopardizes the future of public transportation plans.

County Commission Chair Stacy White has expressed doubt about public support for the ferry project. He told us that he would like to hear from environmentalists about the Tampa Bay Ferry Project and the proposed Schultz Ferry Park. 

Commissioner White's phone number: 813-272-5740 His email: whites@hillsboroughcounty.org

Florida GOP Politicians Who Only Defend Certain Parts Of The Constitution

Take the Second Amendment:

"He has waged war on the Constitution," Sen. Marco Rubio said when President Barack Obama proposed background checks for guns bought online or at gun shows.

----------

"We have seen yet again that we have a president who does not think the law, or the Constitution, applies to him," Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera said of Obama's background checks.

----------

"Our right to bear arms is enshrined in our U.S. Constitution," Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam felt the need to point out in a news release following Obama's proposal.

----------

"Some on the left believe the Second Amendment is negotiable, flexible — even forgettable. I don't," Panhandle congressman Matt Gaetz once wrote in an opinion piece. "Our founders understood that America's strength comes from empowering citizens, not government."

Nice stuff gentlemen, but what about the 

First Amendment? here
