Gov. Rick Scott said because he has two accounts, his emails were inadvertently left off the states new public information webpage and sometime soon the public should be able to see his electronic correspondence.

I understand how it happens, there are two separate email accounts, but they made a mistake, Scott said Wednesday of the omission of all of his email accounts from the three-month-old Sunburst system.

He added that work has already started to correct the mistake, but no timeline was available for when all his accounts would be available.

Gov. Rick Scott continued his praise of Gerard Robinson on Wednesday, a day after the head of the Florida Department of Education gave a month's notice that he was returning to Virginia.

Scott, speaking after an appearance at a Florida Health Care Association conference at the Hilton Orlando, maintained he was surprised and disappointed in Robinsons abrupt resignation.But Scott added that he doesnt believe any change in leadership will impact the ongoing drive to overhaul the states Pre-K-12 system.

Gerard Robinson, who took over the state Department of Education last summer and would take some flak over a dramatic drop in school test grades, has submitted his resignation effective at the end of August.

Hired away from his post as Virginia's secretary of education, Robinson pointed to time away from his family for his decision in his resignation letter that also listed highlights of the state education system during the past year.

Living away from my family has proven to be one challenge all this progress could not overcome, Robinson wrote Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday.

Floridians are playing the states lottery games at a record clip and there is no indication that in these economically uncertain times they will ease off on lightening their wallets.

Florida's Lottery Estimating Conference, which on Tuesday increased the already record-setting sales totals for the recently completed fiscal year, projects the numbers to continue to grow for at least the next four years.

A start-up, nonprofit group focused on statewide ethics reform is calling on Florida lawmakers to follow Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindals push for increased financial disclosure.

Integrity Florida released a 26-page report Monday that highlighted the potential risks in Floridas current personal financial disclosure rules for state lawmakers.

Among Integritys findings:

During the 2012 session, 11 legislators worked for lobbying firms.

A total of 33 potential voting conflicts in 2012 were disclosed by 12 legislators.

Florida pulled in $407 million in revenue above predictions for the end of the recently completed fiscal year.

But dont call it a windfall. Economists point out that most of the money was either one-time dollars or simply a trick of the calendar on accounting books.
