Never mind Trump University. The 'Donald temperature' is rising at a university closer to home. At least for one group of Florida State University students. And they're doing it via a flyer circulated around the campus Monday.

Following sustained rainfall and record Lake Okeechobee discharges, Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency Friday in Lee, Martin and St. Lucie counties.

Though it isn't known exactly what Scott's declaration will mean to individual victims of the damaging fresh-water releases in each county -- whether it is meant to provide real economic relief -- it is clear the governor is using it as a tool and a soapbox to get the attention of what he considers a negligent Obama Administration.

After the Nevada caucuses Tuesday night, CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield gave a lot of us a 'yahoo' moment when she exposed Debbie Wasserman Schultz's inability to give an honest answer.

Thousands of Floridians whose livelihoods rely on the state's $1.2 billion horse racing industry will have to wait until Friday for the outcome of a state Revenue Estimating Conference on decoupling.

During a special press conference and ceremony in the Capitol Thursday -- on this Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day -- Senate President Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando was presented with the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council's 2016 Outstanding Service Award. 

Gov. Rick Scott "issued orders" to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that the Corps should take immediate action to relieve the flooding, slow down the discharges from Lake Okeechobee and move more water south to Everglades National Park.

The House Economic Development and Tourism subcommittee today unanimously approved HB 1017, a bill aimed to fight fraud in Florida’s Reemployment Assistance program.

Cissy Proctor, just a month on the job as executive director of the Department of Economic Opportunity, told the subcommittee, “This measure will better protect Florida’s reemployment assistance system from fraudulent criminal activity." She said the measures in the bill will improve DEO’s detection system and help bring justice to criminals who are using stolen information to collect reemployment benefits. 

Citing the Florida Constitution, former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham has said he opposes an expansion of gambling into Gadsden County and is looking to submit a brief to the Florida Supreme Court arguing against allowing slot machines at the Gretna Racing facility.

Graham's attorney in the matter, former legislator Dan Gelber, filed a motion Wednesday asking permission to file an amicus brief in the highly volatile case involving the Gadsden County pari-mutuel. 

The following is FOX News' official statement, issued Wednesday, on Donald Trump's decision not to participate in Thursday's debate:

"As many of our viewers know, FOX News is hosting a sanctioned debate in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday night, three days before the first votes of the 2016 election are cast in the Iowa Caucus. Donald Trump is refusing to debate seven of his fellow presidential candidates on stage that night, which is near unprecedented.

The Senate Health Policy Committee approved Senate Bill 1686 Tuesday. It was a significant step. Last year, not one single bill addressing telehealth passed through the Legislature.
