The Florida Department of Education is once again dealing with the fallout from test scores and school grades, this time after admitting that dozens of grades released earlier this month were mistaken.

In all, 213 schools and nine districts had to have their grade revised as part of a "continuous review process," according to the agency. The move affects 8 percent of the schools in the state. All of the scores increased by a single letter grade.

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Mitt Romney fell on this Obama quote like an NFL lineman on an end zone fumble during the Super Bowl. And understandably so.

What happened in Aurora, Colo., could happen in Florida. Fortunately, more than 1 million Florida residents are prepared.

The fragile economic footing of the European Union will continue to weigh heavily on Floridas potential to generate revenue -- and so will the sluggish state of new home sales and construction.

Just as important may be fuel prices and the strength of the U.S. dollar, state economists said as they piece together a financial forecast for the Sunshine State.

Dane Eagle, a former staffer in the Crist administration who rose to deputy chief of staff to the governor, is looking to return to Tallahassee -- with the support of Republican leaders and business groups that his old boss bucked to run instead as an NPA U.S. Senate candidate.

Florida landed more than $50 million of the $787 million that the federal government doled out Monday for bus line and transportation repair and construction projects.

The funding distribution comes on top of the $1.8 billion the feds dished out for transit projects in the prior two years.

In an election-year press release styled to cheerlead for the president, U.S. Transporation Secretary Ray LaHood said this: President Obamas support for an America built to last is putting people back to work across the country repairing and upgrading our nations public transit systems.

After an open seat in Florida Senate, former state Rep. Bill Galvano looks to be smooth-sailing his way to a Tallahassee return in November.

Galvano has an open shot at the Republican nomination for SD 26, to represent parts of Charlotte, Highlands and Hillsbrough counties and all of DeSoto, Glades, Hardee and Manatee counties. The Brandenton Republican is well-known in Tallahassee for his eight years in the Florida House. First elected in 2002, he represented parts of Hillsborough and Manatee counties until he faced term limits in 2010.

Martin County Sheriff Robert Crowder, one of the most popular lawmen in county history -- with a 47-year history of serving his community and the Republican Party -- looks around today at his lonely campaign for U.S. Congress, knows it's a long shot at best and admits he knows why.

He backed Democrat Alex Sink in the 2010 gubernatorial election. No -- he did more than that. He campaigned for her, on national television and in high-profile TV spots.
