Familiar faces appear in Hendry County...

Multi-tasking with babe in arms and a megaphone, our former Lake Worth City Commission and her baby's Daddy take to the streets in Labelle, protesting what smells like it could become an FPL power plant in Hendry County. There is a 3,000 acre property that was rezoned by the county that FPL later purchased. The Seminole tribe is taking the county to court in attempt to reverse the rezoning. Our local opportunists wasted no time jumping in front of this parade, as things just aren't going to well for them over on this coast. Ms. Jennings' back is conveniently facing the camera. Gone, but not forgotten.

On a related topic, this is just in on public opinion related to the Keystone pipeline:
Sixty-two percent (62%) believe it will be good for the U.S. economy if the pipeline is built. That’s up from 56% at the beginning of the year and also a new high. Unchanged are the 10% who think the pipeline will be bad for the economy. Twelve percent (12%) say it will have no impact, while 16% are not sure.
Thirty-two percent (32%) think the pipeline will be bad for the environment. But 54% disagree, with 13% who feel it will be good for the environment and 41% who say it will have no environmental impact. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters say the pipeline is at least somewhat important to how they will vote in the next congressional election, with 23% who say it is Very Important. Thirty-eight percent (38%) say the Keystone project is not important to their vote, including 11% who say it is Not at All Important.
