In a Senate committee hearing of her film incentive bill Thursday, Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, took Koch brothers-backed, ultra-conservative political action committee Americans for Prosperity to task:
"I appreciate the mail-outs that you do against me on a monthly basis that say I give money to Hollywood moguls, which, of course, I don't have any money to give, and neither does the state of Florida give money to Hollywood moguls.
"You're all on the Koch brothers' payroll. Good for you. I'm glad you're all employed ... I hope you're getting paid a lot of money to show up to these meetings and say meaningless things.
"Obviously you're for prosperity for yourself and not anyone else ... You people serve absolutely no purpose."

I might be forced to cross party lines if I lived in Venice.
....nah, my arm would fall off if I tried. However, it might be worth getting her to change parties.
