					<description><![CDATA[A day after state Sen. Tom Lee indicated he would enter the race for Florida&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer, Gov. Rick Scott committed to helping current CFO Jimmy Patronis stay in the position. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known Jimmy for a long time. I appointed Jimmy because I think he&#8217;s going to do a really good job as the CFO,&#8221; Scott told reporters after holding a press conference touting July jobs number at a Honda dealership in Brandon. &#8220;He&#8217;ll have about a year and&#8230;]]></description>

While I have been working to address these issues in Tallahassee, she has been hard at work here at home. &#8220;Her knowledge, experience and conservative&#8230;]]></description>

Later, Dover House Republican Ross Spano called on Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren to condemn Ayala’s actions.  Warren refused, saying that he would seek out the death penalty only in &#8220;rare cases that are so heinous, atrocious, and undeserving of mercy as to be considered the worst of the worst in our society.&#8221; At the Tampa&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The announcement that Aramis Ayala, the newly-elected state prosecutor in Orlando, would not seek the death penalty in the high-profile prosecution of an accused cop killer is having reverberations around the state. Ayala was taken off the case by Governor Rick Scott after she refused to recuse herself, and prompted Dover Republican Ross Spano to call on Hillsborough County&#8217;s State Attorney Andrew Warren to &#8220;condemn&#8221; Ayala&#8217;s actions. &#8220;I call on our new State Attorney, Andrew Warren, to resist the political urge to follow the lead of State Attorney Ayala, condemn her actions&#8230;]]></description>
