Mike Haridopolos blasts Charlie Crist over veto of ‘leadership funds’ bill, says Governor didn’t even read the bill

in Statewide by

From Senator Mike Haridopolos: Yesterday, good government, transparency and accountability were cast aside. In vetoing the Florida transparency bill, Governor Charlie Crist denied Florida’s voters and the press an opportunity for greater transparency in politician’s and political organization’s contributions and expenditures.

Perhaps the best way to sum up the difference between the two possible…

Washington Post: Can Kendrick Meek win the Florida Senate race?

in Statewide by

The nationally televised debate between Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and former state House Speaker Marco Rubio on Sunday made clear that the Republican Senate primary is going to be a knockdown, drag-out brawl between now and, gulp, August 24.
