For weeks, one story has dominated the news in Florida as it has around the
Alias DVD boxset. Tar balls have been washing up on beaches in the Florida Panhandle. State officials are concerned about the Gulf oil
Arrested Development DVD boxset's impact on the environment, fishing and Florida’s No. 1 industry: tourism.
And most days, the spill coverage also includes at least a brief
As Time Goes By DVD boxset by the state's governor, Charlie Crist. Just about every day, he’s somewhere in Florida meeting with visitors, tourism officials or
Battlestar Galactica DVD boxset management authorities. In St. Petersburg recently, he was greeted with applause at a meeting with
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD boxset and charter boat captains.
Just a day earlier, he was walking the beach in Pensacola with singer-businessman
Alias Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset. He says Buffett was there to help plan the opening of a new Margaritaville hotel. Of
Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 DVD boxset, Crist says: “We’ve been through a lot together. We’re going to continue to go through a lot together.”
Florida's Request To BP: $100 Million More
Last week, Crist asked BP for an additional $100 million to
As Time Goes By Seasons 1-9 DVD boxset the threat posed by the oil to the state’s waters and shoreline. That’s on top of $50 million he requested and received from the giant
Battlestar Galactica Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset earlier in the week to cover the state’s response to the spill.
Crist is an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, and he’s staying in front of the
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Seasons 1-7 DVD boxset without any overt campaigning.
To Alex Burgos, a spokesman for Crist’s Republican opponent in the
Alias DVD, Marco Rubio, it’s more of the same. Burgos dismisses Crist as a politician more interested in
Arrested Development DVD than hands-on management.
“He’s doing what he’s always done, which is, seize
As Time Goes By DVD to get in front of the media, hold press conferences and ultimately, put the spotlight on him and his efforts,” Burgos says.
For Crist, it’s paying off politically. Polls show him leading both
Battlestar Galactica DVD and his likely Democratic opponent in the Senate race, Rep. Kendrick Meek.
Public Turns Against Offshore Drilling
The oil spill has had a more immediate and potentially more far-reaching impact on
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD politics. It was the catalyst for an overnight turnaround in public opinion on offshore
Alias DVD set. Before the spill, a majority of Floridians — like the country as a whole — supported it. Since the spill, while Americans in general have largely continued to support
Arrested Development DVD set drilling, Floridians have turned against it
As it happened, at the time of the oil rig’s April 20
As Time Goes By DVD set, the state Legislature was poised to pass a bill allowing drilling in waters just three miles off Florida’s coast. Mike
Battlestar Galactica DVD set, the incoming president of the Florida Senate, says the Legislature has now permanently tabled the issue because of the spill.
"Until we know exactly what happened, we’re going to
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD set of let it be,” Haridopolos says.
Pursuing An Offshore Drilling Ban
Seizing on the shift in public opinion, anti-drilling
Alias DVD boxset now want a constitutional amendment that would ban offshore drilling in Florida waters.
“Imagine had that spill been gushing out thousands of
Arrested Development DVD boxset a day right off the coast within three or four miles of the coast," says Dan Gelber, a Democratic state senator and candidate for state attorney
As Time Goes By DVD boxset. "We would have already seen it on our beaches.”
Republicans have decried the constitutional amendment and a proposed special
Battlestar Galactica DVD boxset as pure politics — an example of elected officials using a catastrophe for political gain.
Crist says he wants to convene a special session of the
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD boxset but is meeting resistance from Republicans in the statehouse. As time goes on, though, and tar balls find more and more
Alias Seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, Crist believes the pressure will build.
“The closer this stuff gets to us, I think some members of the House are going to be
Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 DVD boxset to say ‘Enough’s enough,’ ” Crist says.
With the initial cleanup slated to continue for months at a minimum, the oil
As Time Goes By Seasons 1-9 DVD boxset and the government response are likely to remain in the news and — in Florida, at least — play a role in November’s
Battlestar Galactica Seasons 1-4 DVD boxset.
