School bus shooting - If the shooter was NOT in custody, why would the police allow the nearby childcare and schools to be open !!!???? I am upset, my children are there.
I am a Miami Resident, who went to the polls with patience, why in the world would people wait til Election Day to request or return an Absentee Ballot when the deadline was broadcast weeks before. Why would a voter complain about waiting in line or get to the voting machine and rush the machine, then it jams they say oh the machines aren't working and be rude to the Staff. I tell this to the Mayor, Supervisor of Elections and Staff, you did a good job dispite the greivances voters had/have against the Elections Department. We leave home uneducated about the issues on the ballot, regardless of the numerous correspondence handed out to help educate the voter prior to coming to the polls. GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE, WE COMPLAIN AND POINT FINGERS AT EVERYONE ELSE BUT OURSELVES. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN ABSENTEE BALLOT ON SUNDAY, MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
Just saw your report on income tax fraud in south Florida.

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – Florida Governor Rick Scott has seen his popularity drop ever since he took office.

According to new numbers from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, Scott is now the least-popular governor in the country.

According to the poll, Governor Scott has an approval rating of 26 percent and a disapproval rating of 58 percent.

The poll found that even in his own party, Scott only received a 46 percent approval and a 31 percent disapproval.

PPP found that if the 2010 election was held again today, Scott would lose by 16 points to his opponent last year, Democrat Alex Sink.

If Scott has to face Charlie Crist as a Democrat in three years, the poll found Scott would lose by 23 points.

Freshman Senator Marco Rubio has an approval and disapproval rating that’s evenly split at 40 percent.

But, if Rubio was chosen as the vice-presidential nominee, 41 percent of voters in the poll said it would make them less-likely to vote for the GOP’s nominee.
