I know this is becoming more of a problem for a lot of people in Florida.

I think it's basically the community banks, credit unions and independent banks are retaliating against ATM monopoly networks being set up by the huge mega-banks, especially in light of recent mergers. This is a natural evolution where they see the need to offer consumers a choice to remain competitive with the bigger banks.

This is why we really emphasize people getting at least a yearlong lease. Month-to-month is dangerous, especially in Florida, because so many rental properties are being converted into condominiums. That reality can really surprise renters and hit them hard.

It is not a policy debate that's being shoved in our faces right now.

An oil pipeline is subject to significant oil spills.

The Florida delegation is united against it, as are most coastal states, but he has a promise it will be heard, so we're not taking it lightly. We're thinking it might only be a starting position for him.

This is home to sea turtles, sperm whales, a number of charismatic species in serious jeopardy. The potential impact of a spill and the speed with which it would be brought to the southeast beaches is extremely alarming.

Allowing any drilling off the coast poses a serious threat to our way of life and our economy. We would like to see our policy-makers fighting to oppose any drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

It's definitely a change in position in our minds.

The administration is trying to do through rule making what they have been unable to do through legislation, which is weaken the protections off Florida's coasts against drilling.

And they don't need Florida's votes in the next election either. I cannot underestimate the importance of that. They want to lease millions of acres off Florida's coast.

Any pro-environmental piece of legislation has a hard road to travel in this Congress. It's not going to be a walk in the park, not with current leadership in some of these committees.

Combine this plan with the Domenici bill and it's clear Florida is dead in the sights of the oil industry and their allies in Congress and the White House. But the fight is far from over. It's a 10-round prize fight and we're in round 7.

We're wondering where that Jeb Bush has gone. We were facing the same fight back in 2001 with lease sale 181, but the difference then was some important people were facing re-election and we don't have that this time.

It's clear Florida is dead in the sights of the oil industry and their allies in Congress and the White House.
