You can listen and/or download the talk show "On The Commons" taped on Saturday, May 12 , 2007. Talk show host Shu Bartholomew talks with CCFJ President Jan Bergemann about the 2007 legislative session, the problems with Speaker of the House Marco Rubio and the fate of important bills.
Your
rights and your wallets are at risk every time the Florida legislature is in
session. Whether conjuring new and improved ways to strip you of rights or
coming up with new and creative ways to separate you from your possessions, more
often than not you are worse off by the time the legislative session ends. See
the legislative session 2007. What happened to all the campaign promises that
were made in order to get the votes? And why would any legislator propose and
support laws that would harm their constituents? Why are bills killed and/or
altered behind closed doors? Are there any winners in this game -- besides
special interests? |
