Florida ranks 47th in unemployment and has a state-wide unemployment rate of 11.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Senate bill to extend benefits passes, more than 30 states would qualify for Tier V benefits.
Jim Greer: RPOF Leaders are Liars, Racists
In a letter to Gov. Charlie Crist asking for a refund of his nearly $10,000 contribution, indicted former Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer used the occasion to lambaste the current leadership of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), calling them liars, racists and extremists.
