Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters ...

Concerns Grow Over Quality of Care as Investor Groups Buy Not-for-Profit Nursing Homes

Harris Meyer Shelly Olson’s mother, who has dementia, has lived at the Scandia Village nursing home in rural Sister Bay, Wisconsin, for almost five years. At first, Olson said, her mother received great care at the facility, then owned by a not-for-profit organization, the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society. Then in 2019, Sanford Health — a not-for-profit, tax-exempt hospital system — acquired the nursing home. The covid-19 pandemic struck soon after.

Now Scandia Village has a new, for-profit owner, Continuum Healthcare . Olson said she was reassured when Continuum hired two locals as the facility’s new administrator and nursing director.

There are no plans to bring Palestinian refugees to U.S., but a FL senator opposes it anyway • Florida Phoenix

Image
Florida Sen. Rick Scott said Tuesday that he would block any effort by the Biden administration to bring thousands of unvetted Palestinian refugees to the U.S., though there is no indication that the president intends to do so. Scott released a statement, saying: “I am gravely concerned about the pressure building from the radical left for President Biden to allow thousands of Palestinians to come to America. This would continue the disturbing trend we have seen from Democrat presidents of allowing unvetted and potentially dangerous individuals from nations and states that hate America to pour into our country. It cannot be allowed to happen again.” In addition: “As reported in The Wall Street Journal this morning, European nations are taking action right now to stop terrorism tied to Gaza and the October 7 th attacks on Israel,” Scott said. “Given these reports and dire warnings from the FBI, I will do everything in my power to block the Biden administration from bringing i...
