Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the favorite to be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, beats out two possible Republican presidential candidates in their own back yards according to a poll released Wednesday morning.

A poll from Quinnipiac University shows Clinton with a solid lead over former Gov. Jeb Bush and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida. Clinton beats out Bush 50 percent to 43 percent. She does even better against Rubio, besting him 53 percent to 41 percent.

Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade Sewer Department have been awarded the Excellence in Water Conservation Award by Audubon Florida. The award was presented today at the Miami-Dade County Comission meeting.

Miami-Dade Countys water conservation program, Use Less, under the leadership of Doug Yoder, exemplifies this commitment to water conservation through quantifiable results.
