Look for lawmakers to revisit Florida's new drone law. Maybe later rather than sooner. But certainly tweaks are on the horizon for a law governing a budding industry that few understand and even fewer trust. The bill the Legislature passed last session and Gov. Rick Scott signed May 14 -- the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act -- lays out a gold-plated welcome mat for personal injury law firms looking to establish a new cottage industry.

There was never a count of how many hundreds of people descended on Tallahassee the day before Hurricane Katrina hit. Frightened people, lost people, certainly very vulnerable people. I know something about them. I know they will never forget the extraordinary kindness and heart they were shown by residents of Florida's capital 10 years ago today. I know I won't.

I've looked. I'm sorry, I just don't see Blaise Ingoglia the way Politico does. Ever since Aug. 19, when reporter Marc Caputo came out with his story, "GOP chair takes lead in House coup," I've been looking for the coup. Caputo gets most things right, so I looked extra hard. He's got an anonymous source, a "top Florida Republcan" who's telling him the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida is leading a coup to take out future speaker Eric Eisnaugle. This must be a rock-solid source, I'm thinking, or else Caputo would never let him/her go unattributed.

Nobody argues against slowing boats to a crawl in waters where slow-moving, endangered manatees swim and raise their young. Nor should they. There are only an estimated 5,000 of these big aquatic mammals, relative of the elephant, left in Florida waters.

Before any more state capital folks take a misty-eyed stroll down memory lane, let's get one thing straight.

Term limits happened in Florida for a reason.

Florida is doing the right thing. In case you doubt the wisdom of Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision to join a multi-state bipartisan lawsuit against the EPA attempt to seize regulatory control over large categories of state waters, you might want to take a look at the graphic reproduced just below.

If you're rich enough, and you want to want to live in the United States badly enough, you don't have to cross a border in the dead of night. You can buy your way in. You can apply for an "investor visa" -- properly known as an EB-5 award.

The Python Challenge™ is back. Trademarked this time. "Building on the success of its 2013 Python Challenge™," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Fish and Wildlife Foundation of Florida Inc. (Foundation) announced Tuesday additional details of the 2016 Python Challenge™. 

Hypocrisy yet again is the subplot to a Democratic Party drama, this time involving the story I wrote about late Sunday, the firing/layoff/pink-slip dismissal of an African-American, Broward Democratic Executive Committee Operations Director Michael Howson.

Michael Howson, former operations director of the Democratic Executive Committee of Broward County, has told party insiders he is days away from filing a race discrimination lawsuit against the DEC for firing him because he is black. News of Howson's situation late last week widened the rift between Broward's black community and the party. And now Howson's response -- his decision to fight back -- is spreading quickly through the county.
