Greens, libertarians team up

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

 From the Politico:

An unlikely coalition of environmental and libertarian taxpayer groups are joining forces to fight legislation that would create a national disaster insurance pool to protect home­owners in hurricane-prone areas.

The group — SmarterSafer.org — is getting behind legislation sponsored by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) that would provide $100 million annually over four years to states to strengthen homes, apartment buildings and small businesses against heavy-hitting storms.

Thompson’s package of three bills, expected to be introduced Wednesday, would provide grants for mitigation activities such as building new water barriers to prevent flooding, securing roofs and garage doors, and putting storm shutters on windows. It would also authorize an additional $100 million over five years to bolster emergency response during storms by upgrading communications, creating mobile nurse units and improving evacuation of the elderly from their residences.

Ask a Florida Libertarian

Filed Under Florida Libertarian | 1 Comment

I’m thinking about doing a series of interviews with Florida libertarians…could be anyone, possibly even you!

I will send the questions by email to the lucky Florida libertarian and then post the answers on this site.

For the first interview I’ve managed to get Jim Kearney, former chair of the Broward LP; his blog is at: LibertarianViewpoint.com.

So…do you have any questions for JimK? Just leave them in a comment below and I will forward them to him.

And if you’d like to be interviewed do the same. I’ll have a contact form up soon if you’d rather do it anonymously.
