Millions of dollars poured into Florida's political system during the first three months of 2016, with huge chunks coming from business groups and industries such as utilities and insurers.
But much of the money didn't go directly to candidates or to the state Republican or Democratic parties.

Lawmakers do a lot of fretting over the cost of college in Florida. Maybe they should apply the same angst to the cost of sending kids to full-time day care or preschool.
A story in the Wall Street Journal claims that in 23 states, nearly half the country, it’s now more expensive to educate a 4-year-old in preschool than an 18-year-old in college. And guess which southern state -- (hint, hint, it's the third largest in the nation) -- records the largest disparity?
