Alex Sink told me BEFORE the Spill she would veto any near shore drilling bill

Alex Sink told me long before the spill she would veto any near shore drilling bills. She told me back in January she was opposed to drilling and promised to veto any near shore drilling bills in the future. McCollum only changed his tune after the spill

Dave, didn't know if you saw this earlier today....



Looks like both front-runners for our next Governor are stating they will Veto any legislation to lift the current ban. Hopefully, they will keep their word.

Legislative leaders plan to visit oil rigs this summer to do their own research on the risk Florida faces if the legislature decides to lift the ban. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum came out strong against oil drilling today. McCollum says if he’s elected he will veto any legislation lifting the ban. Democratic frontrunner Alex Sink has been a long time opponent of drilling in Florida.

McCollum is another opportunist.

They are all opportunists, funded by different groups of lobbyists.

While I understand that Alex has been clear on her stance prior to the spill, my point is that both of the key candidates are now stating that they would Veto any bill that is presented to them by our legislators. My hope is that they will keep that promise regardless of which ends up in office. That is critical, because I do believe that it will be presented again next session by the oil bought republican leadership.

Right or Wrong, most successful politicians are.....

Crist's position does not matter

One thing that really has no bearing: Gov. Crist will not be Governor after November so his position for or against drilling has no bearing at all.

Count on Alex

I would count on Alex keeping her word over BM any day. I fully support Alex Sink in her candidacy for Governor. Dave

I thought I heard this morning that this thing could be gushing oil for weeks. Don't look now, but tropical storms in May are not unheard of...all those 'assets' BP has in place will have their asses elsewhere if there is an approaching storm, leaving the poor coast wide open for a disaster.
