Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux on Wednesday ended his bid for the Republican nomination for Senate, throwing his support behind U.S. Rep. Connie Mack in what he called "the election of our lifetime."
A poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday finds that while voters in Florida have a low opinion of Gov. Rick Scott, they do support his effort to stop illegal aliens from voting.
Scott is upside down in the poll with 49 percent of those survey disapproving of the governor while 39 percent approve of his tenure in Tallahassee. A solid majority of 60 percent support Scotts effort to stop noncitizens from voting, purging them from the rolls.
Frustrated but not surprised about a lack of progress on property insurance issues during an election year, a pair of key legislators on Tuesday began preparing for another push once the dust settles in November.
More than three months after lawmakers failed to make meaningful changes to the state's property insurance landscape, Rep. Bryan Nelson, R-Apopka, and Sen.

Already ahead of his Republican rivals in the polls and in gathering endorsements, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack strengthened his status as the favorite in the race on Tuesday as he gained new backing.

In a story by Kenric Ward, Sunshine State News reported last week that the organization would likely throw its support behind Mack.

Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that a major portion of its merchandise to be sold at Disney parks and facilities in Florida would now come through JaxPort, shifting the bulk of its ship unloading from the Port of Savannah, from where many of the China-made mouse ears and princess gowns were then trucked to Central Florida.
Expect a bill that shelters private property in Florida from takeover by a United Nations-led world government effort, Senate President-designate Don Gaetz said Tuesday.
And expect that bill to receive favorable support.
Appearing on Fort Walton radio station WFTW 1260 AM, Gaetz said he expected Florida lawmakers to introduce and approve a bill similar to Senate Bill 477 that has been approved by the Alabama Legislature.
I think there is a very good chance that bill will come up, Gaetz said.
