...Rubio quickly built a reputation as an idea guy; he held a series of "idea raisers" around Florida, and the conservative Regnery published his subsequent book, 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future. As speaker, he pushed dozens of those ideas through the house, but few of them made it past Crist's desk. For example, Rubio pushed for radical tax reforms that would have virtually eliminated property taxes; he had to settle for Crist's relatively modest cuts. Rubio also filed a lawsuit to try to stop Crist from expanding Indian gaming; the governor won that battle...
...savage critic of big government; he sees the crucial divide in politics as between those who trust the public sector to grow the economy and those who trust "the guy drawing up a business plan on the back of a napkin at Denny's." In an interview, he supported the privatization of Social Security, a constitutional amendment to restrain spending and the right of schools to teach intelligent design.

A few Uruguayos relayed his story. Creeper was on horse tranquilizers. But given his parents’ social status (famous psychiatrists…connection?), he and his bag were always welcome at Montevideo establishments...
...many of the city's civil rights advocates. Connie Rice, director of the Advancement Project in Los Angeles and a prominent civil rights activist and lawyer, fears that the LAPD will revert to some of its old brutal ways without his leadership. "We need two more years of this guy. Do I think that LAPD is going to go back to how they behaved in the Gates era?," says Rice, referring to former LAPD chief Daryl Gates, who was in charge during the Rodney King fiasco. "No. Are they beyond what happened in the Rampart scandal? Well, the corruption part...
