Gov. Rick Scott and Florida GOP: the public interest be damned ... by gimleteye
Consider the following. The state's regional water management districts are powerful entities, supervised by appointees of Gov. Rick Scott.
Although water district governing boards have always skewed towards Big Ag and developers, Gov. Scott takes the micromanagement of district affairs to be a crucial way to enforce loyalty of regulated industries. It is a signature example of one hand washing the other, far from the view of the public.
According to the following news report, today the governing board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District could vote to ignore an administrative law court order, objecting to a permit for mangrove destruction.
This issue is properly filed in the folder: "the devil is in the details". Gov. Scott has proven nearly as skillful in papering over his tracks with those details as he was in private life, where he accumulated a fortune -- buying his way to the governor's mansion -- gaming the medical reimbursement system. Smart, yes. "Good for the public" never enters in the equation.
There are no overarching principles to guide this governor's sense of democracy, other than what is good for a narrow band of special interests who are alternately giddy and compliant, so long as their profits are protected.
In other words, the public interest be damned.
Permit Recommendation Denying Mangrove Destruction for Neal’s Perico Development Could be Approved by SWFMD on Tuesday
Bradenton Times, August 22, 2015
by Staff Report
BRADENTON — Pat Neal’s development needs a permit by SWFMD to destroy mangroves in order to build four homes on Perico Island. SWFMD approved a permit for destroying the high quality mangroves on the island, adjacent to the pristine Florida waters of Anna Maria Sound. Though an administrative law judge has recommended that the water management district's board deny the order, the board will cast a final vote on Tuesday.

Grove Isle Bigwigs: growth management gone and so is your view ... by gimleteye
Although the legal wrangling is taking place in Miami-Dade court, with attorneys arguing over the fine points of local zoning law, the arguments take place in an atmosphere deprived of state land use planning regulations.
While it is true that Growth Management laws -- stripped by the Governor-in-Thief Rick Scott -- would not have blocked a local zoning controversy from gaining traction for residents, it is indisputably the case that the goal of growth management was to provide a framework for placeholders, including developers and residents, emphasizing an overarching principle to guide community growth.
Grove Isle residents are scarcely the only coastal residents snake-bit by indifference to the importance of good land use regulation. Florida is so much the poorer for Governor Rick Scott, the GOP legislature and the collapse for which they are largely responsible; state land use planning.
I can hear the lawyers for the developer in the Grove Isle case complaining; that's not what this is about. But anyone with a modicum of knowledge can't dodge this Lilliputian arrow: if you had fought for growth management laws instead of blocking them through indifference or support of growth-at-any-cost, your view would not be so threatened.

Ranking the 2016 Presidential Candidates Based on Tennis Ability
The 2016 presidential election is a mere 445 days away, so naturally the entire nation is talking about who’s going to be the next leader of the free world (You seriously need to chill, America.)
In the months leading up to the primaries, the press has a field day following each candidate’s every move, from chowing down on corn dogs at the Iowa State Fair to making outlandish remarks at the podium. I wanted to join in on the fun because this might be a tennis blog, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk politics. Here’s the ranking of POTUS hopefuls based on their tennis ability because you definitely don’t want a prez who can’t hit a topspin serve.
* Note: these rankings are based on tennis ability only and do not reflect my own political views. I really cannot emphasize this enough.
1. Jeb Bush
Pretty much all the Bushes play tennis, and Jeb was actually captain of the University of Texas varsity team. I really don’t feel like digging through the UT athletics archives to find Jeb’s win-loss record, so no word on how good he actually was. I do have this quote from Jeb’s friend about an overhead smash that he once saw the tennis star hit: “It was like, ker-blam! It bounced so high it went on the roof.” Ker-blam, you say? That’s impressive.
2. Donald Trump
WOW. That video is major lolz. I’m ranking Trump second because he sorta-kinda had a two-shot rally with Serena Williams, which is more than any of us can say. The power on that forehand is pretty solid. Footwork not great, but I’ll cut him some slack and blame it on the constrictive suit.
3. Bobby Jindal
Jindal played tennis competitively throughout high school, but that’s about the only information I can find on the matter. I’m gonna assume he’s decent because Wikipedia never lies.
4. Hillary Clinton
Okay, I have zero evidence that Hillary Clinton has ever played tennis in her life, but according to her friend Phyllis, Hillz promised she would play tennis with her if she didn’t go for the presidency. This is all hearsay from a People magazine article, but apparently Hillary said: “Hmm. Should I run for president or play tennis with Phyllis? I think it would be easier to run for president. I think you are very competitive.” Phyllis must be a pretty damn good tennis player for Hillary to back down so fast. (Btw, Is anyone else picturing Phyllis from The Office in this scenario?) I also included this photo of the former Secretary wearing a visor because I can totally picture her rocking this look on the courts.
5. All the other candidates
Last Place: Ted Cruz
![cruz-big-1642](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tp58diOt6qV-yyxCDIAElvS2rZyQV3wvnqwxO1DHlWIjmYJx-vLjnerMIOwXa-4g7ZZ-wL6d8ZQ6f2wu3H810gqG-JqTrpgTzu6HLSThMFNx2ELtbJNnEPGmDibxOk-S1dbi-W8P9KBJoIc9RTnU0=s0-d)
Cruz apparently tried to play tennis once to impress his boss and sucked beyond belief. In a memoir, the Texas senator wrote that the justice for whom he clerked purposely hired skilled tennis players and actually required that they play tennis with him as part of the job. In an effort to fit in, Cruz hired a coach, took lessons and still lost the doubles matches he played against the Justice and top clerk 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. (Then the Justice begrudgingly gave Cruz his partner so the teams would be more fair.) Shoulda hired a coach from MyTennisLessons.com, Ted.

Bouchard Wins a Match! And other Cincinnati Updates
Bouchard Finally into the Second Round!
It’s a miracle! Eugenie Bouchard has won her first match in what seems like forever! Only her third win in the last ten matches, this first round victory over Katyrena Bondarenko is kind of a big deal for the 2014 Wimbledon finalist. Bouchard has what has to be the most disappointing 2015 season of anyone. We can only hope she gains just a little bit of confidence in Cincinnati. When wins come so few and far between, she has to take advantage of them whenever they arise.
Other Canadians Don’t Have as Much Luck
While one Canadian may be finding a little bit of her stride again, the other Canadians aren’t having much luck. Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil both struggled with injuries earlier on in the summer. Remember when neither could play for the Davis Cup? Their luck hasn’t seemed to turn around when both were faced with tough early round opponents. In the first round, Feliciano Lopez broke Milos Raonic just once but it was all he needed to take the match in straight sets. After Pospisil defeated rising American star Denis Kudla, he drew Grigor Dimitrov for his second round match, another player that has struggled with his rhythm this year. Both sets went to tiebreakers, but Dimitrov pulled out the win in the end.
The Withdrawals
Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams made the tough decision to pull out of Cincinnati. Sharapova is nursing a right leg strain and wants to make sure that her entire body is healthy going into the US Open. Venus Williams, who suffers from an autoimmune disease, felt under the weather going into her second round match. She is disappointed that she can’t have more matches going into the US Open, but she says, “I have to use my experience” to prepare for the US Open, something that she definitely does not lack.
The End of Isner’s Run
John Isner has had a stellar US Open season. He won the Atlanta Tennis Championships and was runner-up at Citi Open. All good things must come to an end though, and the 6’10” American lost to fellow countryman Sam Querrey in the first round.
American Survivors
Women: Varvara Lepchenko, Madison Keys, Coco Vandeweghe, and of course Serena Williams
Men: Sam Querry, Jack Sock, and Wild Cards’ Mardy Fish and Jared Donaldson

Bring on the American oligarchy: law makers get richer too ... by gimleteye
Crony capitalism is defined by the unrestricted ability of regulated industries and their top shareholders to manage legislative and governmental purposes that are nominally democratic to their own ends. One of the best examples is the domination of water management infrastructure in Florida by agricultural interests like Big Sugar. It is also a reciprocal relationship. Making sure that elected officials are financially well-off and "taken care of" is a key feature of crony capitalism: one hand washes the other.
![]() |
U.S. flag flying over the Bridgeport ferry, "PT Barnum" |
Along the same lines, the New York Times has investigated IRS filings and Federal Election records to analyze the shocking concentration of political giving by the nation's wealthiest families. In "Small Pool of Rich Donors Dominates Election Giving," the Times writes, "Fewer than four hundred families are responsible for almost half the money raised in the 2016 presidential campaign, a concentration of political donors that is unprecedented in the modern era. The vast majority of the $388 million backing presidential candidates this year is being channeled to groups that can accept unlimited contributions in support of candidates from almost any source. The speed with which such “super PACs” can raise money — sometimes bringing in tens of millions of dollars from a few businesses or individuals in a matter of days — has allowed them to build enormous campaign war chests in a fraction of the time that it would take the candidates, who are restricted in how much they can accept from a single donor."
"A New York Times analysis of Federal Election Commission reports and Internal Revenue Service records shows that the fund-raising arms race has made most of the presidential hopefuls deeply dependent on a small pool of the richest Americans. The concentration of donors is greatest on the Republican side, according to the Times analysis, where consultants and lawyers have pushed more aggressively to exploit the looser fund-raising rules that have fueled the rise of super PACs. Just 130 or so families and their businesses provided more than half the money raised through June by Republican candidates and their super PACs."
While it is fair to say that wealth and power have always traveled hand-in-hand in the United States, the concentration of wealth and of power is having a massive, damaging effect on the majority of Americans who are outside the small circle of cronyism. The devastation is proceeding exactly along the lines of federal AND state control. Voters, largely asleep at the switch, seem hypnotized by message machinery and information delivery systems like Fox News, organized to dull the senses.
It is no simple arithmetic that, according to The Herald, "On average, lawmakers’ net worth has more than doubled from the year of their first campaign through 2014. Their incomes have generally risen, too, by 63 percent on average. For some legislators, years spent in elected office have accompanied multi-million-dollar increases to their net worth." It’s a stark contrast to the reality most Floridians face. The average worker’s pay is higher now than in 2010, but it still falls short of the paychecks Floridians brought home before the 2007 downturn, when adjusted for inflation. Many who saw their home values plummet and 401(k)s shredded have never recovered."
Senate President Andy Gardiner (Republican), one of the clear beneficiaries of crony capitalism, tells the Herald, "The best thing the Legislature and government in general can do is to provide an environment where the free market can thrive,” defining what, in former President Carter's words, "... violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system.
Pay attention in the first "debate" of the Republican presidential how many times the free market is invoked, because this is not your grandfather's "free market"; this is systematic looting of the public trust in an age of scarcity by insiders who take what they want because voters are too confused to tell the difference.

Big Sugar's Scandalous Profits Protected By Corporate Welfare Will Not Be Revealed By The Miami Herald, Although Conservatives Line Up To Criticize ... by gimleteye
There are a few sacred cows in Miami that the Miami Herald will only criticize through Jim Morin's (excellent) cartoons or Carl Hiaasen's (occasional) OPED's. Reporting? Investigations? Not so much.
One has to go back to Martha Musgrove, former (intrepid) editorial writer, for a Miami Herald presence on issues related to Big Sugar, but even in Musgrove's time there was scant coverage of the harm Big Sugar did to Miami. (A former top editor of the Herald during these years, Joanna Wragg, went to work for Big Sugar as a public relations specialist after retiring from the newspaper.)
For example, the Herald scarcely published on the ascent of Marco Rubio to the US Senate thanks to the major political support from the Fanjuls, infuriated by Charlie Crist's attempt to purchase critical lands in the Everglades Agricultural Area owned by its competitor, US Sugar, or -- for that matter -- any of the chess moves by the Fanjuls to maintain their domination of the Everglades Agricultural Area at the expense of the Everglades.
The cozy relationship between sugar barons and the Miami Herald meant that news about Big Sugar, including the Fanjul's oppressive working conditions in the Dominican Republic, would have to be disclosed by other non-traditional media, like Al Jazeera's recent excellent report on the Fanjuls, noted by EOM this week.
As a historical matter, Big Sugar provided business opportunities for local influential Cuban Americans like Jorge Mas Canosa, whose first business included selling farm equipment in the Everglades Agricultural Area.
For many years, the bitter animosity between Mas Canosa and hard liners toward the Herald colored the newspaper's coverage of any possible detente between the US government and the Castro regime. That is quickly fading, overtaken by events, but one of the legacies is that Cuban Americans remain paradoxically protective of the sugar industry; billionaires industry who have done so little for them in Florida.
Interesting, too, that the sugar industry -- under intense civic attack in Martin and Palm Beach Counties because of filthy water discharged from Lake Okeechobee -- is responding with full page ads in papers but sees no need to do so in South Florida. The reason: the Miami Herald is indifferent to highlighting these facts for readers.
It is hard to know what is in the minds of Miami Herald publishers who feel no need to explain their business model as expressed through news coverage and choices. As Miami and South Florida urbanized, one of the collateral effects was to lessen the connections to an understanding by Herald readership how Big Sugar's command of fresh water resources -- including the domination of the Everglades by mismanagement of water infrastructure -- penalized people at the expense of crony capitalists. The Fanjuls sit atop the economic order, manipulating state and federal farm policy, like despotic royalty, but find a Miami Herald report to say so.
Here is a Wall Street Journal OPED that mostly takes the position that Big Sugar's subsidy should be eliminated because it costs Americans billions of dollars a year in artificially high food prices. You can also read the Al Jazeera report on the Fanjul billionaires, by clicking here.
The bottom line: Big Sugar poisons people, poisons democracy, and poisons the Everglades.
Wall Street Journal: The Sugar Scandal
Congress takes a run at an egregious business welfare scheme.
July 29, 2015 7:22 p.m. ET
Americans pay nearly twice as much per pound as foreigners do for sugar, thanks to U.S. import restrictions and subsidies. We’ve tilted at this corporate welfare for decades, but new political forces are aligning to take another run.
The absurdity of the federal sugar program is legendary. Every year the government grants sugar processors nonrecourse loans linked to the amount of sugar the government says they can produce at a set price per pound: 18.75 cents for raw cane sugar and 24.09 cents for refined beet sugar. If the market price is below the loan price when it’s time to sell, the processors simply forfeit their crop to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in lieu of repaying the loan. They can still make a profit thanks to the price guaranteed by the loan.
To ensure that imported sugar doesn’t drive down U.S. prices, provoking a sugar dump on Uncle Sam, there are also import quotas. Anything above the quotas gets hit with a hefty tariff—16 cents a pound on refined sugar.
Yet all of this central planning is harder than it sounds. According to a January 2014 USDA report, for the 2013 crop year the government’s net cost “to remove” sugar from the marketplace was $258 million. But sometimes there’s not enough sugar, as in 2010, and prices skyrocket. If the secretary of agriculture decides that shortages will drive prices too high, he can increase the quota. But he has to make sure that more imports won’t mean lower prices and thus sugar forfeitures to the feds. All the risk lies with consumers or taxpayers—not producers.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the loan program will cost some $115 million over the next 10 years. But the greater cost is to the economy. The food and drink industry, which has sales of some $387 billion, is less competitive when it has to pay twice the world price for sugar. In a July 2 letter to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, the Coalition for Sugar Reform estimated the program has cost American consumers and businesses $15 billion since 2008 and 120,000 jobs since 1997.
The relatively few sugar cane and beet producers have grown fat and happy off this racket, but they are losing support. Growers of other crops had their subsidies cut in the last farm bill, and many are asking why sugar gets a pass. Last month the Corn Refiners Association, which produces high-fructose corn syrup, began lobbying on Capitol Hill for a level playing field with sugar.
They’re allied with Republican tea party Members of Congress who dislike business subsidies, led by Joseph Pitts (R., Pa.). In 2013 he led a floor revolt with an amendment to the farm bill that would have permitted more foreign sugar to enter the U.S. and reduced the price guaranteed by the federal loan. He lost 221 to 206.
Mr. Pitts is now seeking another opportunity for a vote to limit the size of the nonrecourse loan to any single sugar processor, and we hope he gets it. This wouldn’t end all of the political help that guarantees profits for sugar producers. But it would be a start, and a sign that American democracy isn’t so calcified by special interests that it can’t reform one of Washington’s worst welfare schemes.
Mayor Carlos Gimenez's PAC: The VERY STRANGE expense and donation. By Geniusofdespair
![]() |
Photo from New York Magazine 2013 - Why is Carlos Gimenez taking money from these guys? |
There were 2 expenses on Gimenez's known PAC, MIAMI DADE RESIDENTS FIRST, in New York City. One was for a 3 night's (at least) stay in June or for 3 rooms in the amount of $1,049.78 at the Empire Hotel. The other expense was for a one way cab ride to or from the airport I suppose. No food expenses, no cab ride back. The PAC posted a donation soon after from the owners of the Empire hotel, Amsterdam Hospitality (Podolsky Family) for $20,000.
There is feuding going on between the Homeless Trust and Cammilus House on housing the Homeless. There is not enough room. They are having the homeless sleep on mats under a porch at Cammilus and The Homeless Trust (Ron Book) is pissed. It is front page news. City of Miami Commissioner Mark Sarnoff and Ron Book are trading barbs. Who is going to offer a solution?
Coincidentally Amsterdam buys run down buildings and with public subsidies houses the homeless. They own about 40 buildings in the New York area bought through shell corporations. According to New York Magazine:
The Podolskys take pains to keep a deniable arm’s length from the shelter business. It operates behind a firewall of arcane lease arrangements and interrelated holding companies, many of which have been placed in the maiden names of the brothers’ wives, Shirley and Sharon. “It may appear that it’s all in the family,” Satnick says, but he claims the structures reflect both the brothers’ status as “passive owners” and the wives’ interests as independent investors. “Stuart and Jay have much bigger fish to fry than what their wives are doing in their business.” (During a legal dispute over a hotel purchase in 1999, a court-appointed referee found it “credible” that Jay and Stuart were “the real players” in the disputed transaction and that their use of their wives’ maiden names in that instance “was to avoid state/city scrutiny” owing to their felony convictions.)AND:
The Podolskys don’t deal with the city; they lease the shelter buildings to companies run by Alan Lapes, a building contractor who has long worked with them. “These buildings are not owned by Mr. Lapes,” Satnick says. “They are owned by the Podolsky family in one way or another.” But Lapes, a blustery guy, serves as a manager and a lightning rod. Over the years, his facilities have been investigated by the police (over criminal activity by a manager and tenants in a Times Square location the Daily News dubbed the “Hell Hotel”) and cited by the city comptroller’s office for safety violations and bookkeeping irregularities. In a recent e-mail, Lapes called those allegations “old [stories] that are on google and for the most part are not true” and said journalists should “look for the good in all of the hard work that I do to help homeless New Yorkers.”
The city government does not publicize the addresses of shelters, citing the privacy of its homeless “clients.” But a list obtained via a Freedom of Information request suggests the industry is dominated by a handful of competitors. There’s Shimmie Horn, whose father, a notorious slumlord, willed him an empire of hotels. There is a consortium of investors who administer a portfolio of tenement shelters from an unmarked office above a Brooklyn laundromat. Most players operate through shell companies and front men, obscuring their interests, and the Podolskys are particularly secretive. But the evidence suggests the family is among the largest shelter providers, and they are expanding aggressively.AND:
Altogether, public records indicate that the Podolskys own or control close to 40 shelter properties, which house at least 1,300 homeless families, about 11 percent of the city’s total. (Families now make up the vast majority of the homeless population.) A calculation based on city records suggests that the Podolsky-related shelters have generated rents in the range of $90 million since 2010.
Hess, who earns at least $250,000 annually, has since capitalized on city demand for new shelters, boosting the nonprofit’s revenues to $57 million last fiscal year. DHS officials have said there is no conflict of interest in his dealings with the agency he ran for four years.
The Podolsky shelter business has two prongs. There are a dozen or so Manhattan hotels, some of which the Podolskys have owned since the Koch era. Then there is a collection of outer-borough residential buildings that operate as “cluster” sites—basically, apartments rented by the city to house homeless families. The city’s largest shelter cluster encompasses fourteen locations in the Bronx. All but one of the buildings are owned by the Podolskys.
The cluster shelters still typically open under per diem arrangements, providing minimal social services. In a deposition last year, Hess said that the approach circumvents a “rather lengthy and cumbersome procurement process,” allowing the shelter system to expand and contract “like an accordion.” But it’s controversial, because clusters usually operate with scant oversight. In a recent decision, a state judge likened the city policy to “a CIA black op, spending unbudgeted funds without apparent restraint.”
If you want the quotes to make sense, read the entire article but we are dealing here with unsavory business practices and maybe unsavory people. So, my point is, with the homeless housing front and center, why is Mayor Carlos Gimenez dealing with these New York "businessman," homeless housing specialists? Is he going to SAVE the day with his new pals that New York would like to rid themselves of? They are probably already here. Apparently they are good at hiding behind corporations.
