in Statewide/Top Headlines by

The Washington, D.C.-based political website POLITICO began in 2007 with 35 employees. It now maintains more than 400 staffers globally.

Marc Caputo reports: In the immediate aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, BP publicly touted its expert oil cleanup response, but it quietly girded for a legal fight that could soon embroil hundreds of attorneys, span five states and last more than a decade. BP swiftly signed up experts who would otherwise work for plaintiffs, shopped for top-notch legal teams and presented volunteers, fishermen and potential workers with waivers, hoping they would sign away some of their right to sue.…

Red State claims coverage of RPOF scandal a ‘political hitjob’ on Marco Rubio

in Statewide by

When it comes to “Checks and Balances” in Florida’s print media, it is increasingly apparent that there is none.

Times: The secret severance offered to Jim Greer

in Statewide by

I really hate to copy an entire article, but John Frank does a masterful job laying out all of the details concerning the severance package offered to Jim Greer.  With apologies, here is his work: The state Republican Party is denying the severance agreement (download here) with Jim Greer is valid, saying the former chairman didn’t sign the documents.
