Senate Passes Budget, Picking Up Two Dem Votes
Submitted by Kevin Derby on March 31, 2011 - 5:43pm
The Senate Budget Committee moved along its version of the budget, all of $69.8 billion in spending. The Senate budget proposal is $3.3 billion more than the House version, mainly because it includes the clerks of court and incorporates the water management districts in its budget, which the House swept.
The vote came down 16-4, with two Democrats -- Bill Montford of Tallahassee and Gary Siplin of Orlando -- joining the Republicans on the committee in moving the budget along.

Will GOP Challenge David Rivera?
March 30, 2011 - 6:00pm
Anxious to hold onto Florida's 25th Congressional District, Republicans are quietly maneuvering for the seat held by Rep. David Rivera.
Rivera, who was elected last year, has been dogged by allegations concerning past financial dealings. A criminal investigation is reportedly under way by the state attorney's office.
In the event that Rivera is sidelined -- or even if he isn't -- several big-name Republicans are said to be interested in running in the GOP-leaning district that stretches from Miami-Dade to Collier County.
