Mitch Perry Report 2.6.12 - Norman facing fines, Tampa Bay citizens worry about war with Iran

Happy Day after Super Sunday to y'all. Whether you rooted for the Giants, the Pats, or one of the other 30 NFL teams, hope you enjoyed football yesterday - since we won't have another game to watch for 7 more months!

Back to the political world. Mitt Romney won in Nevada over the weekend (not that they've finished the counting or anything there), but a new poll shows that the bloody battle with Newt Gingrich is hurting his image.

Over the weekend approximately 50 people concerned about the current sanctions and possible military action against Iran protested in Tampa.

The GOP candidates and others are still criticizing the White House for their decision regarding requiring Catholic hospitals and charities' health insurance policies to include coverage for birth control.

And Hillsborough/Pasco County GOP Representative Jim Norman may face a fine after the state ethics board found probable cause he violated ethics laws in not reporting the $500,000 gift that the late Ralph Hughes gave to Norman' wife to purchase a vacation home in Arkansas.
