The Examiner: Florida Attorney General wants to go back on restoring felon rights
"[Florida] Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that recent rule changes have made it too easy for nonviolent felons to get their civil rights [including voting rights] restored after completing their sentences, and she wants to undo them.
Bondi, a former Tampa prosecutor, appears to have the support of at least one other Cabinet member and Gov. Rick Scott. That's a majority of the four-member Board of Executive Clemency. Florida's three cabinet members and Scott, all Republicans, sit on the board, which could revise the existing rules as early as next month in a special meeting."

We need your support! The Florida Parole Commission-per their website-spends 42% of it's time on these "voting rights" applications, and only 31% of their time watching high-risk sex-offender-rapist type-individuals. If she's so "tough on crime" why would she want to waste MORE of their time on the 100,000 plus applications-when those folks should be watching high risk criminals? And isn't the BIG teaparty thing about LESS government spending and intrusion? Clearly this big new idea was not well-thought out by the Paminator. She blurted it out in a very mean spirited way, after exhibiting a mean, punishing attitude toward those ex-felons (now taxpayers) begging to be allowed to vote! It's time for Florida to join the other 47 states who support ALL of it's taxpayers-ex-felons included!
