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.

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — Florida’s state general revenue collections are exceeding expectations. Translation: the state is making more money.

A monthly report by the Legislature’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research shows September’s collections exceeded state economists’ estimate by $54.6 million, or 2.8 percent.

Cumulative general revenue collections three months into the 2012-13 budget year stood at $162.6 million, or 2.9 percent, over estimate.

The majority of the state’s general revenue comes from sales tax, which was up by $24 million in September and by $36.3 million for the budget year.

Collections of beverage taxes, hospital fees, the documentary stamp tax on real estate transactions and the intangibles tax also came in over estimate.

Corporate income tax collections, though, were under estimate by $6.5 million in September and $4.7 million for the year.
