					<description><![CDATA[A House Republican on Friday proposed a measure that seeks to ensure power restoration for nursing homes and hospitals is a priority after hurricanes and other emergencies. The bill (HB 245), filed by Tampa Republican state Rep. Shawn Harrison, comes after the deaths of residents of a Broward County nursing home that lost its air-conditioning system Sept. 10 because of Hurricane Irma. Eight residents of The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills died Sept. 13, and four more died later after the sweltering facility&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tropical Depression 16 is expected to intensify into a tropical storm within 24 hours while traveling north into the Gulf of Mexico. A forecast cone from the National Hurricane Center projected the storm will make landfall as a hurricane this weekend somewhere between New Orleans and Tampa Bay, with the Florida Panhandle as the center point. National Weather Service meteorologist Kelly Godsey said atmospheric conditions are favorable for a quick intensification of the storm, and residents need to prepare. “It&#8217;s not terribly&#8230;]]></description>

The Department of Environmental Protection&#8216;s wish list for the 2018-2019 fiscal year—presented to Scott last week as the governor&#8217;s office crafts budget recommendations for the Legislature—includes $50 million for the Florida Forever program. “It&#8217;s a bigger number, it&#8217;s a different focus than what we&#8217;ve had from DEP for six or seven years,” said Eric Draper, executive director of Audubon Florida and a&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Professional sports franchises would be prohibited from building or renovating stadiums on publicly owned land under a measure introduced Tuesday in the Florida Senate. The proposal (SB 352) by Hialeah Republican Sen. Rene Garcia, is similar to legislation (HB 13) filed in the House by Hialeah Republican Rep. Bryan Avila. Both bills are filed for the 2018 Legislative Session, which starts in January. During the 2017 Legislative Session, the House approved a similar proposal, while a Senate version failed to&#8230;]]></description>

Rick Scott and legislative leaders signaled Tuesday that addressing Florida&#8217;s deadly opioid epidemic will be a high-profile issue during the 2018 session, with Scott saying he will propose spending $50 million on programs such as drug treatment and awareness of natural painkiller alternatives, including kratom (mitragyna speciosa) powders and capsules. Scott appeared Tuesday morning in Manatee County and was scheduled to appear later in Palm Beach County &#8212; two areas hard hit by opioid abuse &#8212; to announce that&#8230;]]></description>
