Did State College of Florida President Lars Hafner, a former Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives, forge signatures on college documents? The investigation into whether he did or didn't became a formal criminal probe when the case was referred to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Friday.

In June, College trustees reported Hafner to the commissioner of education after a former employee claimed in an affidavit that Hafner forged the signature of former BOT Chairman Steve Harner.

In a prime national television segment this morning, Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll told CNN's Solidad O'Brien that she is proud of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

Speaking before the NAACP convention in Houston on Wednesday, Romney withstood the delegates' boos gracefully, she said, spoke from the heart, and made his case "about as well as it was possible to."

Holy wrongful gotcha, Batman! Seems the story of Jacksonville's tuberculosis outbreak was Gov. Charlie Crist's problem before it was Rick Scott's.

Check out this video. Stacey Singer, the reporter who broke the TB story for The Palm Beach Post, talks with Current TV's Cenk Uyger on The Young Turks.

Former Broward Teachers Union President Patrick Santeramo was arrested Tuesday and charged with 20 counts of racketeering, theft and money-laundering between October 2007 and September 2010.

The nation's 80,000 added jobs in June fall far below the number hoped-for to significantly reduce the backlog of nearly 13 million unemployed -- causing the Dow to open Friday down 80 points and falling.

Rasmussen Reports releases this poll on Independence Day:

To display their loyalty to the United States, Americans recite the Pledge of Allegiance, ending with the key phrase with liberty and justice for all. But just over half of Americans actually believe that to be true. That said, a lot more wouldn't live anywhere else in the world.

With Independence Day 2012 here, most Americans still strongly agree with the central tenets of the document that declared the nation's independence from Great Britain 236 years ago.

Beginning in 2014, those who do not carry health insurance must make a shared responsibility payment to the federal government. By 2016, this annual payment, which the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act explicitly calls a penalty, would be 2.5 percent of an individuals household income, but no less than $695 and no more than the average yearly premium for insurance that covers 60 percent of the cost of 10 specified services (e.g., prescription drugs and hospitalization).

A disappointed Florida Gov. Rick Scott said on Thursday it will take some time to absorb the U.S. Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling.

Sometimes finger-pointing and/or stone-throwing can jump up and bite you in the arse.

It certainly did to the Palm Beach Post Thursday morning, when the Post first sent a tweet announcing a defeat for Obamacare at the hands of the Supreme Court, then moments later "Post on Politics" takes Florida's Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater to task for "jumping the gun" on the ruling like "CNN".

Kinda funny, actually. Have a look below.
