And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting! Now... the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

The people won over the lobbyists for once, and all the supporters and Gov. Scott should be commended for getting the Ethanol requirement removed. CAVEAT: This only applies to Florida. And according to local Lake County activist Jerry Cichon, who fought the Ethanol requirement for two years, the old fuel tanks at gas stations will still be contaminated with "black ooze" collected at the bottom of tanks. Jerry has a classic car seen at Eustis and other car shows and has worked hard, including trips to Tallahassee, etc to reverse the Ethanol requirement.... Read more →
