    Challenging FP&L & More in Top Florida Business News

    Lawsuit Challenging FP&L Plant Revived in the Latest South Florida Business News

    The Seminole Tribe of Florida has revived their lawsuit against Florida Power & Light’s proposed power plant in Hendry County. The controversy over the plant site has developed because it is close to tribe lands, panther habitat, and the need for the plant to draw large amounts of water from the ground in that location. On June 12, the Second District Court of Appeal ruled that FP&L and Hendry County were required to face the lawsuit, which challenges the rezoning of the site by the Hendry County Commission, and the case has been sent back to the 20th Judicial Circuit Court. The lawsuit was originally dismissed on the grounds that the site was governed by the Power Plant Site Act, but according to the appeals court, FP&L have not yet filed their application under that act.

    Scott’s Popularity Up in the Polls, But Crist More Popular in Today’s Florida Political News

    A recent poll conducted by the Quinnipiac University has revealed that Gov. Rick Scott has gained in popularity, more than ever before. However, despite this, Charlie Crist is still the more popular of the two. Scott has received the highest approval rating of his tenure, at 43%. When it comes to popularity, Scott is trailing Crist, 47% vs. 37% respectively. In addition the poll indicates that 35% of respondents feel Scott should be reelected vs. 50% who think he should not be reelected. This means that of the 43% who approve of Scott, many of them won’t vote to reelect Scott in the next election.
