Gov. Rick Scott is usually pretty even tempered --he moves from issue to issue with a keen focus, addresses it and moves on.

But when the issue turns to Citizens Property Insurance Corp., he can get downright angry.

Scott and the chief of Citizens are not on the same page over some big raises for a handful of top executives at the state-run insurer.

President and CEO Barry Gilway awarded raises ranging between $25,000 and $31,000 to five top employees. Now the companys chief financial officer earns $255,000 a year.

Too many Floridians are facing a frightening life-or-death choice every day: either go deep into debt to pay for a lifesaving cancer treatment taken by mouth, or take a not-as-effective drug that costs much less.

The troubling truth is that cancer drugs can cost more, depending on how theyre administered.

Thats patently unfair, according to a couple of state lawmakers who want to put an end to huge differences in prices for drugs taken orally and intravenously. They are championingthe Cancer Treatment Fairness Act, SB 422 in the Senate and HB 301 in the House.

It doesn't matter how many supervisors of elections complain that their small Florida counties don't need 14 days of early voting and can't pay for them, 14 days should be the law say Senate Democrats.

"What's the price of democracy?" asks Senate Minority Leader Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale.
