ericadawn16Minimum Wage
A bill designed to thwart a lawsuit challenging the state's refusal to increase Florida's minimum wage cleared a House committee Tuesday.
The lawsuit appears to still be pending.

BP
Yes, Florida is thinking of suing BP over the taxes lost from the lost revenue. While people could file claims for revenue, no one thought of taxes.

Redistricting
This is the one I really care about and I can't find anything. Last I heard, they were still fighting on whether to give us the fair districts we voted for last November. Gerrymandering might not be legal but they have figured out a way in Florida and they want to keep it that way. It's why my representative's office is an hour away BY INTERSTATE! My district even includes The Villages even though they are two hours away! How is someone supposed to have adequate representation that way?
No wonder my last representative always said how all her constituents were elderly veterans who believed in "traditional" values.
