Florida Cabinet Watch

This is a new state blog for Florida's cabinet -- governor, commissioner of agriculture, AG and CFO, only the latter of which is a Democrat. This site is designed to keep an eye on the activities of the Republicans who misrepresent us in Tallahassee. If you are interested in posting at Florida Cabinet Watch, drop me a line at quinnelk@hotmail.com with some idea of your Democratic and/or progressive credentials and I'll add you as a blogger.
