(West Palm Beach) Rick Scott is scheduled to show up for a protest of US Sugar.

"This deal leaves a bad taste in both the mouths of taxpayers and environmentalists," said Everett Wilkinson, both the Chairman of the Florida Tea Party and South Florida Tea Party. However, tea party activists are quick to point out they are not connected to groups or candidates that are using this debate for political gain.

U.S. Sugar acquisition may not be such a sweet deal

Submitted by admin on Thu, 08/12/2010 - 04:47

It almost sounded too good to be true, and, in the end, it has turned out to be so.

The state of Florida, in effect, would buy out U.S. Sugar Co. and use its vast tracts to help clean and preserve water. If it worked out, the agreement would go down in history as a really sweet deal for the region and its water supply.

New Secret Sugar Land Deal!

Dear Patriots:

The SFWMD and U.S. Sugar Corporation have negotiated a new contract. This one appeared yesterday, negotiated in the dark, behind closed doors.

It sounds stranger than fiction: the SFWMD will make a "one-day sale" to U.S. Sugar -- next week -- and the deal must be closed in 60 days, with no escape clause, otherwise the SFWMD has to pay U.S. Sugar $10 million for breach of contract. The deal would loot SFWMD's entire $15 million rainy day fund, which ordinarily goes toward things like hurricanes, obviously, not corporate bailouts.
