Sileo sidelined, Nelson & Bilirakis targeted on health care, and Bob Butterworth working for FPL?: Mitch Perry Report 10.30.2009
October 30, 2009 at 10:29 am by Mitch PerryThe House Democrats dropped a bomb on D.C. yesterday – 1900 pages of health reform legislation that Republicans hate and even some progressive Democrats aren’t pleased with. Meanwhile, activists will target local politicos Gus Bilirakis and Bill Nelson today.
Sports talk show host Dan Sileo has been sidelined by his Clear Channel bosses for his comments on the Bucs losing hundreds of millions of dollars because they got ripped off by Bernie Madoff. But what about the ‘responsible’ news organizations that breathlessly reported his comments?
Former Florida Attorney General Bob Butterworth is helping out Florida Power & Light’s ‘damaged’ reputation because of their request for a 30% rate hike increase. Say what?
Also, Pinellas County Congressman Bill Young is in the news today – and not in a good way. You can read the story, but we’ll refrain from adding anything else just yet. We’ve put in a call to the Congressman’s D.C. office for comment that he’s being investigated by the House Ethics Committee.
