Former Florida Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich will be attending unity rallies across Florida on Thursday with former Gov. Charlie Crist who beat her in the Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday. But Rich could not resist a final shot at Crist who refused to debate her during the primary campaign .

Last night I spoke with Charlie Crist to congratulate him, Rich posted on Facebook on Wednesday. It was a brief call, I didn't feel like debating him.

Rich offered more enthusiasm later on Wednesday in another Facebook post.

The Florida Association of State Troopers (FAST) endorsed Attorney General Pam Bondi for a second term on Thursday. Bondi, a Republican, faces Democratic nominee former DCF Secretary George Sheldon and Libertarian Bill Wohlsifer in November.

As a prosecutor in the 18th Judicial Circuit, Pam Bondi proved herself a strong advocate for justice, said Mike Kirby, FASTs chairman, on Thursday. That has carried over into her job as attorney general and she continues her commitment to the safety and well-being of Floridas citizens and visitors.

On Wednesday, Gov. Rick Scott named Lester Bass, a longtime figure in Jacksonville legal circles, to the Duval County Court, replacing Judge Russell Healey who was elevated to the circuit court.

Bass has been a general magistrate and hearing officer in the 4th Judicial Circuit for more than a decade and worked as an assistant public defender in Hillsborough County and an assistant state attorney in the 4th Judicial Circuit which covers parts of the First Coast.
