Shall we say the same of other people who found themselves enslaved? That it was good for them? When the dogs and water cannons, police batons and lynching mobs were let loose on former African American slaves was that for their ‘personal benefit’ as well? floridapolitics.com/archives/62443…

For the second time in as many years, the governor has seized power from the people, ousting their elected choice for State Attorney and imperiously imposing his own. This is not how democracy works in Florida. This is not how democracy works in the United States of America.

Public trust and confidence in the judicial system are not won through cookie cutter consolidations. They come from an assurance that politics is removed from the process, that elected officials are not meddling in the dispensation of justice. palmbeachpost.com/story/opinion/…

I was honored today to receive a Legislative Appreciation Award from Florida’s 40-member Small County Coalition. Representing a large county, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the smaller ones on major issues. But a life of service means service to all Floridians, not just some.

My legislation which would toughen penalties for stealing from non-profit organizations passed the Senate Criminal Justice Committee today, its first of two Senate committee stops. SB732 also includes restitution to the victim, and up to 500 hours of community service.

We're warehousing people in sweltering heat. 75% of the prison housing facilities in Florida lack air conditioning - creating inhumane conditions not only for prisoners, but also for the corrections officers and medical staff working in them. news.yahoo.com/news/florida-l…
