Calling Florida "the drug supplier for the rest of the country," former state Sen. Dave Aronberg is leading Attorney General Pam Bondi's fight against "pill mills."

Our national media elite reviewed 2010 with great sorrow for how America has besmirched itself in the eyes of the world with its "seething hatred" of Muslims.

State agencies are prohibited from making new rules without the approval of a new governors office on regulations that will also go back over every state contract over $1 million, under an executive order signed by Gov. Rick Scott Tuesday shortly after he took office.

Gov. Rick Scotts inaugural parade featured marching bands, floats, and appropriately enough for the upstart Republican, elephants.

Besides outgoing Gov. Charlie Crist, there were three former governors attending Rick Scotts inauguration as the states 45th governor: Claude Kirk, who was elected in 1966; Bob Martinez, who won office in 1986; and Jeb Bush, who was elected in 1998 and 2002.
