ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist says he will sign five executive orders on his first day back in office if he’s elected in November.

Crist made the announcement Tuesday.

He also said he would sign orders banning discrimination against gay and transgender employees at agencies under his control and their contractors, and another to require equal pay for women.

He said he would also order agencies under his control to require that contractors pay employees at least $10.10 an hour.

1. Their messaging could be better, IMO.

They should accompany these long-overdue changes by stating it's freedom from government influence. Subvert the GOP's mindless mantra and replace it with a meaningful one.

2. This article does not quote him, nor does it use campaign rhetoric because it is commumicating

important news to a specific audience. That audience does not need to hear a sermon about government interference, thanks.

5. Maybe the audience doesn't need it but it sure would help if the media trumpeted it like that.

We need to take away the GOP's screeching about government interference. Put them on the defensive.

3. I wonder

If GOP will resurrect rumor Crist Is gay to bash him now they he said.

Since Crist back In 2008 extended early voting I don't doudt him.

4. Looks like the GOP is backing off all Gay meme's going into November

Seeing it has not been working for them (except the loony toons).

We are coming down to the finish line and Christ is in the lead right now here in Florida. I for one am hoping for the best.
