					<description><![CDATA[The holidays are here. That means carols and cookies, brightly lit Christmas trees and twinkling menorahs, and nip of eggnog (or whatever seasonal cocktail tickles your fancy) to keep you warm at night. But the festive holiday season is also a chance for people to spend time with their family and friends, make resolutions for the coming year, and give back in big ways and small to their communities. The number of people who volunteered their time between September 2014&#8230;]]></description>

A survey by the American Psychological Association found 52 percent of American adults said the 2016 election is significant source of stress. With Election Day almost upon us, just about everyone is experiencing sky high anxiety. Need an escape from the 24-hour news cycle and polls? A good book might be just the ticket. And Sally Bradshaw has a few up her sleeve. Bradsahw opened Midtown Reader,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Consumers for Smart Solar kicked-off a new phase of its effort to pass a solar energy amendment to the state constitution at a press conference Tuesday. The campaign was once seen as merely a foil for a rival amendment, pitched by environmental groups like the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. That initiative ran out of gas when it failed to gather enough petitions to appear on the November ballot, leaving Consumers for Smart Solar&#8217;s proposed amendment all alone in the contentious debate over&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The back-and-forth and backroom dealing is over, and lawmakers soon will publicly comb through the new blackjack deal between the state and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The 63-page document revived the old joke around the Capitol: It contains something for everyone &#8230; to hate. And that means the tribe&#8217;s lobbyists will be working double-time to get some version of it through The Process.  Last year&#8217;s lobby team kept a relatively low profile: Emily Buckley, Gus Corbella, Hayden and Angela Dempsey, Fred Dickinson, Charles&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With its compact with the state of Florida expired and now in federal court to protect its multibillion dollar gambling interests, the Seminole Tribe of Florida has retained one of Tallahassee&#8217;s most prominent governmental affairs firms. Floridian Partners, the lobbying shop headed up by Charlie Dudley, was inked  this week to represent the Tribe before the Rick Scott administration and the Florida Legislature. What&#8217;s particularly interesting about this registration is, until recently, Floridian Partners had been signed with Las Vegas Sands, the gambling behemoth headed&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As far as test balloons go, the one Alex Sink&#8217;s campaign floated about her naming a lieutenant governor candidate earlier than when required went over like a wounded duck &#8212; despite the part about her asking former gubernatorial candidate Rod Smith to join her on the ticket. Unfortunately, many of the people advising Sink to make an early choice &#8220;to cover twice the ground&#8221; are many of the same Democrats who have lost statewide election after statewide election.  In fact, if I&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Alex Sink may be hoping to boost in her campaign for governor by naming a running mate early, and speculation among her backers is focusing on former state Sen. Rod Smith. Sink filed her qualifying papers for the office Wednesday morning, and is expected to be the only politically prominent candidate in the Democratic primary. Her campaign has been contacting key supporters for advice on a candidate for lieutenant governor, a step usually taken later on in the race. Because&#8230;]]></description>
