How Lobbyists Control Florida Legislature

I saw this headline at Saint Petersblog.


Former House Speaker Larry Cretul joins Florida Chamber staff


My first thought was wasn't Cretul already working for the Florida Chamber of Commerce when he was the Speaker of the Florida House. I mean that snarlingly and not literally. Republican elected officials have no original ideas. Unless you count less regulations and more tax cuts as outside the box Republican thinking.

Republicans have no original ideas to jump start business. These elected Republicans merely craft legislation that way lobbyists tell them to. Members of the Florida Public Commission rejected a rate increase for Florida Power & Light. Republicans booted those members off the commission. So much for the interest of the little guy.
