On Today’s Radioactivity we replay the latest Florida This Week, a political discussion show on local PBS station WEDU, moderated by Radioactivity’s own Rob Lorei. In this Episode, Lorei convenes with a panel of experts on local and state politics to discuss the biggest current events in Florida: the  budget shortfall that  threatens Gov.Scott’s $1B tax cut plan, a controversial new water bill that breezed through the legislature, David Jolly’s rejection of personal fundraising and a recent report that calls Tampa’s TBX project one of the worst highway boondoggles in the country.

Then we speak with Kent Bailey of the Tampa Bay Sierra Club about a  senate bill that they say will allow the state to overrule local anti-fracking laws.
