The thoughts of the chairman - FloridaBrit's Blog!

You are right.
At least within the state, the People do have some power.
The People can write a referendum, get the signatures, and place it on the ballot.
The referendum can make it law that all pay raises and benefits have to be approved by the voter.
The health care of the state representatives can be limited to what is offered to voters.
We can put a cap on the office expenses that each state representative can have.
Too bad there is no national referendum.
Wouldn't that shake them up!

Yes, All Politicians in Florida get free healthcare for life when they serv two or more terms. Can you believe it? If they just cut the particular expense, then they would save millions of dollars. I say lets start a petition and send it up to tallahassee.

A petition sounds good, but more publicity would be better. Have I missed it or has the media dropped the ball on this one. Sounds like a good investigative series for Fox news. Make the public aware of the benefits of being a public servant in Florida. Even the sometimes high salaries, etc. of Board of Education members is rarely known. In many states Board members only receive a modest stipend.

These are the kinds of things that are newsworthy and would certainly make a better contribution to our society than the constant reports of other types of crimes such as shootings, etc. which are part of the news practically every evening.

How about an investigation into the salaries and benefits of ALL elected officials in the state of Florida at both the state and local levels. There seem to be a lot of sweetheart deals in place here and there that the public has never been made aware of, even though they are paying for them.

Come on Fox.....show us what you are made of.....and do something besides follow police scanners. Your viewer ratings would soar with the right publicity......the public would be on the edge of their seats wondering what would be exposed each night......you want a great reality show, here it is!!!
