My Response: Politico reports more of the Florida Governor DeSantis & GOP Chair Gruters feud.
Nov 26th, 2020 by Rob Smith, Jr.

The actual trouble of Florida’s DeSantis and Florida GOP Chair Gruters is that both aren’t nice guys.

DeSantis has a history of being very difficult and a constant want of security of significance. His alliances are created by mere wind direction of the day.Gruters is a Globalist, tax and spend Republican…better known as a RINO. His ego is strong.

There’s the trouble insecurity versus security. A sense of what’s right for Floridians and what’s right for donors and Big Business.
I’d like to see both gone.Should be known DeSantis has approved controversal items Gruters has pushed for, like the entirely waste of money 3 “toll” roads, I call the 3-Headed Highway Hydra.

I would support the new Florida GOP head to be either Evan Power, of Tallahassee, or Matt Caldwell.As Caldwell states in the story: Cabinet candidates, Caldwell and Moody and Patronis got little help from the state GOP while running. Due to this DeSantis is certainly going to have a hard campaign fight ahead against so-to-be candidate Nikki Fried, now in the Department of Agriculture seat due to Gruters poor leadership.Caldwell’s loss is a very black mark on Gruters report card.

Here’s the story:

Democrats on the Hunt!
Jan 26th, 2017 by Rob Smith, Jr.

Top Democrats had a meeting this past weekend here in #Florida to plot the death of the GOP elephant. ~SHUDDER!~

Even Keith Olbermann was there!
And we weren’t invited! 😀

October 31st, 2014 – American Epilepsy Society gives evidence to Vote No on 2 in Florida !
Oct 31st, 2014 by Rob Smith, Jr.

American Epilepsy Society releases report presenting testing of cannabis/”marijuana” and it’s inability to stop pain and suffering.
Something you won’t see from the Big Money Marijuana Gang.

Then why are Floridians having to consider to vote for it?

Big Money Marijuana, Wall Street and Lawyers look to make Big Money from poor taxpayers.

Vote No on Amendment 2!

As I keep trying to point out, studies involving the effectiveness of marijuana has yet to yield significant empirical results. We’re a long, long way from knowing what cannabis can do in medical situations with humans, much less rats. Let’s not let Florida be a giant cage of lab rats.

Here’s more to back that up from one of the specific groups the Big Money Marijuana Gang claim they can help:

October 23rd, 21014 – Zoning in Zoning Out – Vote No on Amendment 2 in Florida!
Oct 23rd, 2014 by Rob Smith, Jr.

Amend2-ZoningProblems2

Something not being talked about is that the attempts by local government to limit “medical” marijuana stores in Florida will be met by lawsuits. The amendment is very clear about stores and the pro-2 crowd lawyers have been very clear they will sue any attempt to alter the language of the amendment.

As someone who worked in planning in government, I can tell you these stores have to be considered low-impact, retail stores, as with any pharmacy, if the constitutional amendment 2 becomes law. These will appear in areas near schools and residential areas. That cannot be stopped unless other medical facilities are also rezoned. Imagine kicking out Tampa General, Raulerson Hospital, Baptist Medical Center, any of the Sacred Heart or Florida Hospitals. These are all beside or very near residential areas and schools. So can the “medical” marijuana stores.

You may have noticed little pharmacies popping up in your area of Florida in the past year. They are preparing for amendment 2 to pass. Expect most to convert to also selling “medical” marijuana.

Likely this will cost taxpayers millions and millions as foolish politicians try to fight where “medical” marijuana shops can go. And you wonder why lawyers are trying to get it passed?

July 17th, 2014 – Activist Judge trumps Florida voters and homosexuals can marry in Florida.
Jul 17th, 2014 by Rob Smith, Jr.

Judges continue to obliterate the votes of the Citizens of Florida. We vote for a ban of homosexual marriage in 2008 and some judge way down in Monroe County decides for everyone from Key West to Okeechobee to Tampa to Jacksonville to Tallahassee to Pensacola that we don’t know as much as he does.

You must pay attention to the judges you vote it! That and any judge who thinks they can trump the majority will of a state needs to be removed from their judicial seat.

January 10, 2011 – Florida the Coruption State
Jan 10th, 2011 by Rob Smith, Jr.

Glad to see the editorial below from the Lakeland Ledger. It’s the story from the Ocala Star-Banner that is an example of the editorial.  Funny how the Star Banner did not carry the editorial in that both are owned by the New York Times and share stories.

There is no need for either bridges to cross US 75 near Ocala. Both are payoffs to developers who should buy their own bridge. Or AT LEAST build their projects and see if one is needed if they can fill the projects. Tax payers should not take the burden of fly-by-night developers.

============================================

Pervasive State Corruption: Florida Corruption Tax

Published: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 12:01 a.m.  The Lakeland Ledger

A statewide grand jury declared Dec. 28 that corruption in Florida is”pervasive at every level of government,” and that new laws and ethic regulations are needed to stem the erosion of the public trust and “the theft and mismanagement” of the public treasury.

Moreover, the costs resulting from “fraud, waste and abuse of state resources” is so much a part of a government pay-to-play culture that the 18-person grand jury said it amounts to “a Florida corruption tax” on residents.

Editorial: The wrong interchange

Published: Friday, January 7, 2011 at 6:30 a.m.

Once again, opponents of the proposed 95th Street-Interstate 75 interchange turned out en masse at Tuesday’s Marion County Commission meeting. And once again, the commission waffled on its long-term intentions but did not waffle on its intent to keep the project moving forward.

Commissioners voted to spend another $78,000 for consultants — who have received a total of $308,000 so far — to update an ongoing “justification” report for a $30 million-plus project that has little public support and, importantly, no identified financial support.
