With the news today that Florida's unemployment rate is the highest the state has seen since May 1975, the people of the Sunshine State must make the choice: change directions or continue more of the status quo from our state's politicians this November.
"After more than a quarter century as a career politician, what can we possibly expect from Bill McCollum but more of the same business-as-usual in Tallahassee?" Florida Democratic Party Spokesman Eric Jotkoff said. "A 20-year congressman and Washington lobbyist will do nothing - absolutely nothing - to change Florida's economy for the better. We've tried leaving it to career politicians like Bill McCollum to turn Florida's economy around, and they've driven it into a ditch -11.8 percent unemployment."
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.
