The Florida Public Education Trainwreck Bill

Purposely tucked in to a huge education bill with a handful of good proposals, HB 7055 has a number of highly destructive measures. HB 7055 includes a partisan attack on Florida's teachers and their union and an expansion of private school vouchers.
-----
Call your Florida state legislators today and tell them to oppose HB 7055: a shameless bill designed to weaken our local public schools. here

Ed Turanchik For Mayor Of Tampa

Ed Turanchik is in the race for Tampa mayor. here
-----
"Tampa politics have been trending towards pragmatic, passionate, and sincere leaders. Men and women who can respond to our immediate needs while keeping an eye on the future wellbeing of everyone. These visionaries recognize how much our broken transit system has hamstrung our growth, how crucial it is for Tampa's people and economy to preserve our environment, and how essential it is that our government invest its energy correctly, not merely on pet projects and the same old failed ideas. When I say these words, I think of Commissioner Patricia Kemp, Candidate Mariella Smith, and, last but certainly not least, my father, Ed Turanchik."

Florida GOP Matt Gaetz Invites Alt-Right Troll To SOTU

 Chuck Johnson is a alt-right troll who’s been banned from Twitter and accused of Holocaust denying and white nationalism.
-----
“I had no idea who he was,” Gaetz said. Why would you invite someone you don't know to something like this? Even after Gaetz found out who he was he decided not to pull his ticket to Trump’s speech.
-----
Johnson said he loves what he hears from Gaetz. “I like weird guys with a fuck-you attitude. And Matt Gaetz is one of those dudes,” said Johnson here

Victor Crist New Spokesperson For Trader Joe's?

Wouldn't it be great to have a Trader Joe's in the north end of our county in Carrollwood
Trader Joe's website has a page devoted to soliciting recommendations for new store locations. I believe a new store on the SW corner of West Village Drive and Ehrlich Road would be a fantastic addition to the Carrollwood community. A Trader Joe's store could add a new dimension to the shopping needs of the area and fill a void in an empty shopping center that has been the focal point of contentious redevelopment plans. I have personally reached out to Trader Joe's in the past and now believe that with strong community input and support, we can get serious consideration. If you feel strongly for the addition of a good neighborhood partner and positive economic impact in the Carrollwood area, please consider going to the Trader Joe's website (link provided below) and adding your comments.
This is what I wrote:
There is perfect site in Carrollwood on the SW corner of Ehrlich Road and West Village Drive in Tampa Florida.  Plenty of parking, a large available site and easy access.   The thousands of nearby neighbors would be strong supporters.  Please feel free to contact me as I would like to make a stronger pitch and let you know about our community.  Please visit our website at http://www.carrollwoodvillage.com.  Thank you for your consideration

Florida Progressive Dems Beware

You have a big gubernatorial election coming up this year. Beware of Corporate Democrats. They are like The Borg, they assimilate you and there is no way back. They always want to work together but always in their collective. It has already started, stand your ground. Remember history is on your side.
------
Most Progressives already assimilated are lost, we might or we might not be able to bring them back. Enlarge your Hive, recruit NPA's and Greens to become Democrats to be able to vote in the primaries.

2018 Legislative Update: Week 3

Florida GOP On Trump's Speech

Tonight, President Trump shared that the State of the Union is strong, thanks to regulatory rollbacks, a forecast of regulatory certainty, and the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As promised, this administration has made it clear America is open for business — and the results are clear." Daniel Webster
-----
“President Trump has accomplished much in his first year ever as an elected official. Our economy is booming and capital investment is high. The stock market has taken off. We’ve reformed the tax code so Americans can keep more of their own money." Dennis Ross
-----
“I applaud President Trump’s bold and enthusiastic State of the Union address. He rightly focused on the undeniable economic revitalization that has been cultivated as a result of the pro-growth environment we have created by passing historic tax reform to help middle class Americans and small businesses and the regulatory relief measures that have been signed into law over the last year." Gus Bilirakis
