Whether it’s handing out tax breaks for their campaign donors, funneling public school funding to unaccountable for-profit schools, blocking access to health care or allowing polluters to despoil our environment, far too many Florida politicians, Gov. Rick Scott chief among them, routinely ignore the needs of middle-class and working families. But there are those legislators […]

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attempt to explain away her preposterous claim that recognizing same-sex couples would “impose significant public harm” doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Not even close.

 On April 1 a federal appeals court issued a ruling that squashed Gov. Rick Scott’s politically driven, error-riddled 2012 “voter purge.” This decision underscored what nearly every political observer already knew: Scott’s effort to purge the rolls was not only flawed, but also illegal. The National Voter Registration Act clearly prohibits any program that purges […]

No state’s government has done more than Florida’s to throw up barriers for uninsured citizens to get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Gov. Rick Scott and his army of re-election consultants will undoubtedly hold up this dubious distinction as a badge of honor. Fortunately, Florida families have taken matters into their own hands […]
