Showing Original Post only (View all)Koch, Bush, Scott FL Water Poisoning Corruption Case Heats Up. [View all]
DailyKos has a new Diary piece by 'Leslie Salzillo' on the citizens and State of Florida's dilemma as a result of corruption by Jeb Bush and Rick Scott to benefit the Koch brothers bottom line at the expense of poisoning the St. John's river.
Kossack's Salzillo new piece is titled "UPDATE New Legal Action Exposes Bush, Scott, Koch Brothers Scandal".

As iterated by Leslie Salzillo's piece, this has been a protracted litigation against some powerful people, for a long period of time. A judge who was handpicked by Jeb Bush, has constantly ruled for the Koch brothers.
DUH!
According to Leslie, she was asked to do a previous story on this issue by Florida attorney at law, Steve Medina. She did the first thread in response to his request in Salzillo's February 2015 piece titled "Pipeline Scandal".
It's not often that any attorney goes against huge powers that be and publicly seeks someone to tell the dirty tales. Our KUDOs much goes out to Steve Medina (who is working the case pro bono - by the way).
This is counselor Steve Medina's original letter to Leslie Salzillo, in Feb. 2013 - stating the case that;
We have learned recently that Florida Governor *Rick Fifth Amendment Scott is, how shall we say, ethically-challenged. Actually, that has been known for a long time, but whos counting the past, this is Florida, land of forgiveness, opportunity, and no state income tax! Give them your relaxed, your wealthy, your huddled plutocrats yearning to breathe free. Put your wretched refuse beneath their teaming shores. Send these, the multi-homed, tempest-tossed, to them: Their elected officials snuff out their lamp beside the golden door.
You may know Floridas immediately past commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement seems to have been given the heave ho by Governor Scott not only for patently political reasons but without particular attention to Florida law. http://www.dailykos.com/... (In Florida, if you are Governor Scott, perhaps you would not want an FDLE commissioner who actually investigates things, especially potential white collar crimes involving public corruption.)
Meanwhile, you probably dont know that, for the past two years, thanks to Governor Scott, a veritable fountainhead of toxic waste has been directly dumped every day into the heart of Floridas American Heritage River, http://upf.com/... the St. Johns. As discussed below, it is released through what is contended in a legal action to be an illegally-approved pipeline, the circumstances of which Governor Scott, as the current chairperson of Floridas Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, refuses to investigate.
To investigate these circumstances would be to investigate the highly questionable actions of yet another state agency, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. These actions in turn reach back into the Jeb Bush administration (1999-2007), when then Governor Bush and the Florida Cabinet, over the objection of then Attorney General Charlie Crist, gave preliminary approval for a Georgia-Pacific pipeline from its Palatka paper mill to the St. Johns River.

There's a whirlwind around the web about the water poisonings going on, in our country and around the world. So much so, yours truly acquired a website that will soon begin, titled "Global-Anti-Fracking-Initiative.com".
Enigmatically, our oligarchs (such as the Bush's) are buying up water rights, as Cheney and others poison waters by fracking chemicals and Florida politicos Jeb Bush and Rick Scott help the Koch brothers scandalously poison the St. John's river in Florida.
These blights upon our world are corrupting our courts, systems of justice and our future - for the sake of unjust enrichment and it MUST be STOPPED at ALL COSTS.
