Rick Scott is more popular, according to a new <a href="http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-and-centers/polling-institute/florida/release-detail?ReleaseID=1909">poll</a> by Quinnipiac University, but 50 percent of voters say he doesn’t deserve to be re-elected and that he would lose handily to former Gov. Charlie Crist if the 2014 election were today."<blockquote><em>Scott’s standing with the public has been so persistently grim that any improvement looks like a breakthrough. His approval rating cracked 40 percent for the first time in the latest poll — 43 percent of voters approve of his handling of his job, 44 percent disapprove.</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/06/18/3457294/gov-rick-scott-gains-ground-in.html">Gov.

Kevin Derby points out that<blockquote><em>U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is at the center of a few current political dramas as he balances his prospects for a presidential run in 2016 with being the leading voice in Washington on immigration reform. A poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University finds voters in Florida don’t think much of Rubio’s role on immigration reform or gun control, but still give him high marks for his two and a half years in the Senate.</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/story/marco-rubio-gets-high-marks-florida-despite-immigration-and-guns">Marco Rubio Gets High Marks in Florida Despite Immigration and Guns</a>".<p><br><p><strong>Florida exec fights for "Walmart loophole"</strong><p> "A California bill that would fine large companies whose employees rely on Medicaid has Darden Restaurants so worried that the company's chief executive officer recently visited state lawmakers to lobby against it."<blockquote><em>The Orlando-based owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster confirmed Clarence Otis went to Sacramento last month to weigh in on the union-backed bill (AB 880).

"<a href="http://www.thefloridacurrent.com/article.cfm?id=33287669">Brushoff pays off</a>".<p><br><p><strong>Same old Republican Party of Florida song</strong><p> Fred Grimm:<blockquote><em> Our governor was deeply offended by a burst of unkind aspersions after an insurance company that didn’t exist 11 months ago finagled a $52 million deal out of the state-run Citizens Property Insurance Company.<p><p> Heritage Property and Casualty Insurance landed the very sweet package — all that money to take over 60,000 windstorm policies from Citizens — just two months after contributing $110,000 to Gov. Rick Scott’s “Let’s Get to Work” political action committee in March. And after Heritage (an odd name for a company with a heritage dating back to last August) contributed $30,000 to the state Republican party.<p> Reporters wondered whether hefty political contributions might have greased the suspect transaction. (So suspect that Senate President Don Gaetz has announced a Senate investigation.)<p> The governor’s spokesperson retorted that “any assertion that our office influenced the Heritage risk transfer decision by the Citizens Board is outrageous.”<p> Then why, one wonders, the contributions? What was this fledgling company buying with its $140,000? It’s the wormy question hanging over Florida’s stampede to privatize state functions.<p> Private for-profit companies, while getting rich off the taxpayers, taking over state prisons, probation services, public toll roads, prison health services, online education, pieces of the state park system, school tutoring and windstorm insurance, are simultaneously enriching their benefactors’ re-election committees.<p> Or they’re hiring the state’s most powerful influence peddlers. In February, Citizens similarly paid Weston Insurance $63 million to take over 30,000 policies — after Weston spent $250,000 on Tallahassee lobbyists. When Sunshine State Health Plans wanted a piece of the action as Florida moved Medicaid clients into privately managed health care plans, the company hired Dean Cannon, last year’s speaker of the House.<p> The well-lobbied 2013 Legislature voted to funnel more public money to private, for-profit, online education operations — despite unsettling revelations about their class sizes and teacher qualifications — while reducing funding for the state-run Florida Virtual Schools. Without evidence that private companies would do any better job teaching students. Or that taxpayers would be getting more for their money.<p> All that influence money flowing into Tallahassee, even as state politicians turn over state assets and state funds to private outfits, keeps raising the same nagging question: Is it about us, about the public’s best interest? Or is it all about the money?</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/06/17/3456423/fred-grimm-rush-to-privatize-is.html">Rush to privatize is all about bucks</a>". This is of course an old Florida Republican song, as Paul Krugman explained a few years ago:<blockquote><em>Jeb Bush has already blazed the trail. Florida's governor [was] an aggressive privatizer, and as The Miami Herald put it after a careful study of state records, ''his bold experiment has been a success -- at least for him and the Republican Party, records show. The policy has spawned a network of contractors who have given him, other Republican politicians and the Florida G.O.P. millions of dollars in campaign donations.''<p><p> What's interesting about this network of contractors isn't just the way that big contributions are linked to big contracts; it's the end of the traditional practice in which businesses hedge their bets by giving to both parties. The big winners in Mr. Bush's Florida are companies that give little or nothing to Democrats. Strange, isn't it? It's as if firms seeking business with the state of Florida are subject to a loyalty test.<p> So am I saying that we are going back to the days of Boss Tweed and Mark Hanna? Gosh, no -- those guys were pikers. One-party control of today's government offers opportunities to reward friends and punish enemies that the old machine politicians never dreamed of.</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/19/opinion/victors-and-spoils.html">Victors and Spoils</a>".<p><br><p><strong>Sink speaks</strong><p> "<a href="http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/sink-column-stop-this-bad-citizens-insurance-deal/2127297">Stop this bad Citizens insurance deal</a>".<p><br><p><strong>"Localities offer millions in <strike>tax breaks</strike>" corporate welfare</strong><p> "Amazon officials won’t disclose the role tax incentives play in deciding where to expand, or even if they request them.

Leading Off:
• MT-Sen: So when will Democratic ex-Gov. Brian Schweitzer decide on whether to run for Senate? It sounds like he's waiting until the Late Holocene epoch:
"I'm a soil scientist. We're trained in how the Earth was formed," he said.
"The most important thing a soil scientist has an understanding of is time—glacial time ... I look at a mountain and I'm able to visualize how that mountain was created over 6 million years. You're a journalist. You read time as next week, tomorrow. I think of time geologically. When you see me say 'soon' you may be thinking days—but I think of time in millions of years sometimes."

Meanwhile, retiring Sen. Max Baucus has reportedly cut a $100,000 check to the DSCC (senators can make unlimited donations to the group). However, he is still sitting on a $4.9 million war chest, and given the fact that he's never going to run for office again, what's the point of holding on to all that cash? He should just give it over to the Senate Democrats in one lump sum and go out looking like a mensch. In this lifetime.",

"<a href="http://www.thefloridacurrent.com/article.cfm?id=33287669">Brushoff pays off</a>".<p><br><p><strong>Same old Republican Party of Florida song</strong><p> Fred Grimm:<blockquote><em> Our governor was deeply offended by a burst of unkind aspersions after an insurance company that didn’t exist 11 months ago finagled a $52 million deal out of the state-run Citizens Property Insurance Company.<p><p> Heritage Property and Casualty Insurance landed the very sweet package — all that money to take over 60,000 windstorm policies from Citizens — just two months after contributing $110,000 to Gov. Rick Scott’s “Let’s Get to Work” political action committee in March. And after Heritage (an odd name for a company with a heritage dating back to last August) contributed $30,000 to the state Republican party.<p> Reporters wondered whether hefty political contributions might have greased the suspect transaction. (So suspect that Senate President Don Gaetz has announced a Senate investigation.)<p> The governor’s spokesperson retorted that “any assertion that our office influenced the Heritage risk transfer decision by the Citizens Board is outrageous.”<p> Then why, one wonders, the contributions? What was this fledgling company buying with its $140,000? It’s the wormy question hanging over Florida’s stampede to privatize state functions.<p> Private for-profit companies, while getting rich off the taxpayers, taking over state prisons, probation services, public toll roads, prison health services, online education, pieces of the state park system, school tutoring and windstorm insurance, are simultaneously enriching their benefactors’ re-election committees.<p> Or they’re hiring the state’s most powerful influence peddlers. In February, Citizens similarly paid Weston Insurance $63 million to take over 30,000 policies — after Weston spent $250,000 on Tallahassee lobbyists. When Sunshine State Health Plans wanted a piece of the action as Florida moved Medicaid clients into privately managed health care plans, the company hired Dean Cannon, last year’s speaker of the House.<p> The well-lobbied 2013 Legislature voted to funnel more public money to private, for-profit, online education operations — despite unsettling revelations about their class sizes and teacher qualifications — while reducing funding for the state-run Florida Virtual Schools. Without evidence that private companies would do any better job teaching students. Or that taxpayers would be getting more for their money.<p> All that influence money flowing into Tallahassee, even as state politicians turn over state assets and state funds to private outfits, keeps raising the same nagging question: Is it about us, about the public’s best interest? Or is it all about the money?</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/06/17/3456423/fred-grimm-rush-to-privatize-is.html">Rush to privatize is all about bucks</a>". This is of course an old Florida Republican song, as Paul Krugman explained a few years ago:<blockquote><em>Jeb Bush has already blazed the trail. Florida's governor [was] an aggressive privatizer, and as The Miami Herald put it after a careful study of state records, ''his bold experiment has been a success -- at least for him and the Republican Party, records show. The policy has spawned a network of contractors who have given him, other Republican politicians and the Florida G.O.P. millions of dollars in campaign donations.''<p><p> What's interesting about this network of contractors isn't just the way that big contributions are linked to big contracts; it's the end of the traditional practice in which businesses hedge their bets by giving to both parties. The big winners in Mr. Bush's Florida are companies that give little or nothing to Democrats. Strange, isn't it? It's as if firms seeking business with the state of Florida are subject to a loyalty test.<p> So am I saying that we are going back to the days of Boss Tweed and Mark Hanna? Gosh, no -- those guys were pikers. One-party control of today's government offers opportunities to reward friends and punish enemies that the old machine politicians never dreamed of.</em></blockquote>"<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/19/opinion/victors-and-spoils.html">Victors and Spoils</a>".<p><br><p><strong>Sink speaks</strong><p> "<a href="http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/sink-column-stop-this-bad-citizens-insurance-deal/2127297">Stop this bad Citizens insurance deal</a>".<p><br><p><strong>"Localities offer millions in <strike>tax breaks</strike>" corporate welfare</strong><p> "Amazon officials won’t disclose the role tax incentives play in deciding where to expand, or even if they request them.

Leading Off:
• MT-Sen: So when will Democratic ex-Gov. Brian Schweitzer decide on whether to run for Senate? It sounds like he's waiting until the Late Holocene epoch:
"I'm a soil scientist. We're trained in how the Earth was formed," he said.
"The most important thing a soil scientist has an understanding of is time—glacial time ... I look at a mountain and I'm able to visualize how that mountain was created over 6 million years. You're a journalist. You read time as next week, tomorrow. I think of time geologically. When you see me say 'soon' you may be thinking days—but I think of time in millions of years sometimes."

Meanwhile, retiring Sen. Max Baucus has reportedly cut a $100,000 check to the DSCC (senators can make unlimited donations to the group). However, he is still sitting on a $4.9 million war chest, and given the fact that he's never going to run for office again, what's the point of holding on to all that cash? He should just give it over to the Senate Democrats in one lump sum and go out looking like a mensch. In this lifetime.",
