On Thursday, a Florida congressman scored a win for the American travel goods industry by opening new opportunities in Asia, namely in the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, and making some travel goods duty-free.

When the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program -- which provides commercial opportunities to developing countries -- was launched in 1974, travel goods were exempted. Earlier this year, U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., introduced a bill to let companies petition the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to request items be added to the GSP program.

Hillary Clinton had one of the worst campaign roll-outs in living memory. Her low-key (to the point of inaudibility) announcement video came in the midst of a months-long period of deeply damaging stories about her mania for secrecy (the private email server), which she indulged even at the expense of the law and national security, and her cavalier acceptance of favors in the form of donations to the Clinton Foundation.

The political buzz might be in Tallahassee for now, but the education buzz will be in Tampa next week as the committee meets that was designated to take a closer look at some of the hottest issues facing the state's education system.

The Keep Florida Learning committee will head to Tampa for its second meeting June 18-19. The two-day meeting will cover basics like the Sunshine Law, but committee members will be discussing the Florida Standards at the meeting as well.
