A week ago, it was all set. Attorney General Pam Bondi was coming to Jacksonville to fundraise for embattled incumbent State Attorney Angela Corey. When FloridaPolitics.com asked Cathleen Murphy, who handles communications for Corey’s campaign, Thursday morning, Murphy said “AG Bondi will be there this evening, but it’s a private event.” So, despite the fact that the world’s […]

Much like vacations, road trips, and barbecues, summertime brings with it a seasonal spike in residential energy consumption. The Sunshine State is certainly no exception. We use plenty of power to cool our homes and charge the electronics in the hands of our children. No doubt, this very hot, energy-intensive season is a good time […]

One of the plaintiffs in the fight to overturn Florida’s gay-marriage ban has penned an open letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the same week of her feud with CNN newsman Anderson Cooper. Christian Ulvert, a Miami-based communications consultant, wrote Bondi that he “dismayed by the response you offered to Mr. Cooper regarding your efforts […]

CNN’s Anderson Cooper responded Wednesday night to Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying her complaints about their Tuesday live interview were “factually incorrect” and she’s “either mistaken or she’s not telling the truth.” Cooper, who came out as gay in 2012, had mentioned to Bondi “a lot of gay and lesbian people … said they thought you were […]

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested she was the victim of a CNN hit job a day after Anderson Cooper challenged her position on gay rights in a live interview. Bondi was a guest on WOR-New York’s “Len Berman and Todd Schnitt in the Morning” radio program Wednesday. Cooper, who came out as gay in 2012, spoke with Bondi […]

Editor’s note: Extensive Enterprises Media reporter Jim Rosica made the following inquiry Wednesday of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office. The question itself is noteworthy. An answer from Bondi’s office would be more so. In an interview with CNN Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Anderson Cooper she “was sworn to uphold the constitution of the state […]

CNN’s Anderson Cooper called out Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for her apparent double standard on sexuality in the wake of the Orlando shooting. Bondi appeared live in a stand-up interview with Cooper in Orlando that became increasingly testy. The CNN newsman came out as gay in 2012. Sunday’s shooting took place in a gay nightclub, and […]

Franklin Street, the Tampa-based commercial real estate brokerage firm, has revealed itself as the new employer of Attorney General Pam Bondi‘s former right-hand man. The firm announced Monday Tyler Cathey will be its new chief operating officer and general counsel. Cathey had been Bondi’s chief deputy and chief of staff for two-and-a-half years. His departure was announced last […]

Assume that Pam Bondi were a judge. That’s a dismal prospect but bear with it. Assume further that she asked for a campaign contribution from a big shot businessman who was being sued in her court — and that after getting the money, she dismissed the case. If she was a judge, instead of Florida’s […]
