A Florida congressman and congresswoman -- Republican Bill Posey and Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- teamed up on Friday to introduce the Post-Mastectomy Infection Reduction Act which extends Medicare to cover patients who needed continued surgery to reduce the risk of infection.

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), Gov. Rick Scotts team and Lets Get to Work, a political committee affiliated with Scott, announced they brought in more than $3 million in April.

Toward the end of last week, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., announced that he was sponsoring the House version of U.S. Sen. Mike Lees, R-Utah, bill to change college accreditation. Under the Higher Education Reform and Opportunity (HERO) Act proposed by Lee and DeSantis, states would be allowed to set up their own accreditation standards which would run parallel with current regional and national accreditation agencies.

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., introduced the Stop Punishing Innocent Taxpayers Act (HR 4491) on Friday. Buchanan, who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, insists his bill would stop the IRS from going after the relatives of Social Security recipients who received overpayments. The bill would restore a statute of limitations on federal debts to a 10-year period. Currently around 400,000 Americans who owe around $714 million from Social Security overpayments are being investigated by the federal government.

The Congressional Leadership Fund, a super-PAC looking to ensure Republicans keep the U.S. House, went after U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., for opposing creating a House committee to investigate the Obama administrations handling of the Benghazi attacks in September 2012 in which four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed. Garcia is a top target for Republicans in November with major candidates, including Miami Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo and former U.S. Rep. David Rivera, R-Fla., running for the GOP nomination.

Gov. Rick Scott is going on the attack in a new Web video in which he contrasts his record with former Gov. Charlie Crist, his likely Democratic opponent, on the economy.

Former state CFO Alex Sink threw her support behind retired Marines Col. Ed Jany who is running against U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., with no party affiliation. Jolly defeated Sink in a special election last March by less than 2 percent. Despite coming close in March, Democrats are not running a candidate. Jany joined the Democrats in the fall, too late to make the ballot with his new party.

U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., said on Thursday he backed efforts to create a House committee investigating the Benghazi attacks.

No matter how you look at it justice has not been served for the four Americans killed in Benghazi on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, Crenshaw said. The White House can claim all it wants that the questions of this tragic night have been answered. But, that is not so, and this tragic case has long deserved the investigation of a Select Committee.

Gov. Rick Scotts team continues to fire away at former Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge the governor in November despite spending most of his political life as a Republican. The Scott team hit Crist on Thursday for raising taxes by $2.2 billion back in 2009, including raising unemployment insurance by $1,500 per worker.

On Thursday, the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) announced it was joining the national Coalition for College Cost Savings (CCCS) as it looks to reduce costs for its members. CCCS, which represents almost 800 private colleges across the nation with almost 2 million students, is active in 29 states.
