Submitted by Nancy Smith on March 25, 2013 - 3:12pm
Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, issued a statement Monday announcing that the Florida Senate has recommended an additional $200,000 to fund University of South Florida research at the former Dozier School for Boys.

Submitted by Anonymous on March 25, 2013 - 1:31pm
While admitting that Florida Gulf Coast University had a good win against San Diego State Sunday night to become the first 15-seed team ever to make it to the Sweet 16 round of NCAA's March Madness, Florida Gov. Rick Scott wouldn't play favorites on Monday.

New Census Data Show People Go Where the Money Is

What parts of America have been growing during these years of sluggish economic growth?
Answers come from comparing the Census Bureau's just-released estimates of metropolitan area populations in July 2012 with the results of the Census conducted in 2010.
The focus here is on the 51 metro areas with populations of more than 1 million where 55 percent of Americans live, most of them of course not in central cities but in suburbs and exurbs.
Two growth champs stick out -- Austin and Raleigh. A half-century ago, neither of them amounted to much.

Submitted by Nancy Smith on March 23, 2013 - 6:05pm
Finally a suitable reaction to the nonsense from Florida's (and Washington's) Queen of Exaggeration, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
