					<description><![CDATA[A Miami-Dade County Republican will again try to pass legislation that would prohibit sports franchises from being able to build or renovate stadiums on publicly owned land. The measure (HB 13), introduced Wednesday by Hialeah Republican state Rep. Bryan Avila, is part of an effort by House leaders to limit public assistance to private companies. The bill is filed for the 2018 legislative session, which starts in January. During the 2017 session, the House approved a similar proposal, while a&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida cities and counties are in a dilemma about pot. State lawmakers approved regulations in June that left city and county officials with a Hobson&#8217;s choice about the sale of medical marijuana in their communities. Local governments can either impose outright bans on medical-marijuana dispensaries or allow unlimited numbers of marijuana retail outlets, under an “all or nothing” approach approved during a special legislative session. Dozens of cities have approved or are considering temporary moratoriums on medical-marijuana dispensaries, but it&#8217;s&#8230;]]></description>

The Palm Coast Republican won on a first ballot during a closed-door meeting of Republican members of the freshman class Friday. He beat out J.W. Grant of Tampa, Erin Grall of Vero Beach, and Bryan Donalds of Naples.

					<description><![CDATA[Does Florida&#8217;s governor have the power to take away a prosecutor&#8217;s case if he disagrees with a decision not to seek the death penalty? The state&#8217;s highest court will hear arguments Wednesday over that question in a legal fight between Gov. Rick Scott and State Attorney Aramis Ayala, whose district covers the Orlando area. Their fight began in March when Ayala, a Democrat, said her office would no longer seek the death penalty, explaining the process is costly, it&#8217;s not&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Surrounded by House Speaker Richard Corcoran and many of his members in a small, Orlando Catholic school dedicated to special needs students, Gov. Rick Scott signed House Bill 7069 into law, initiating major shifts in how Florida provides education. While the education omnibus bill offers changes for all kinds of schools in Florida, from requiring recess to reducing mandatory testing, it accelerates state tax dollar funding for-profit and nonprofit charter and private schools, expands parents&#8217; abilities to chose schools, and tightens&#8230;]]></description>

The anniversary of the catastrophic mass murder at Orlando&#8217;s popular gay nightclub Pulse on Latino night, June 12, 2016, began largely in celebration of what this community found within itself in the hours, days, months and now the first year since.

The city is hanging the rainbow Pride flag from the top of Old City Hall this weekend; the rainbow colors will be featured over the five downtown bridges.
