Independent gubernatorial candidate Bud Chiles is up in arms about two members being knocked off the Florida PSC and is calling for a grand jury to look into the matter.

Never in Floridas history have special interests so actively and effectively subverted the will of the people," said Chiles. The message to new commissioners is clear: side with consumers and well have you removed. The people have a right to understand how this travesty happened.

The U.S. House narrowly passed HR 4173, the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 today, and U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge, is unimpressed.

The member of the House Financial Services Committee said in a statement that the measure "codifies into law the principle of ''too big to fail' when it comes to troubled Wall Street financial firms and puts the American taxpayer on the hook for future bailouts.

U.S. Rep. Adam Putnam, the Republican nominee for commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, unveiled a new technology tactic on Thursday when he became the first candidate in Floridas history to use an iPhone application for campaigning.

I am excited to announce the launch of iPutnam, an iPhone application that will allow me to stay connected with you throughout the course of the campaign, keeping you updated on where we are and what we are doing, all through your mobile device, said Putnam.
