					<description><![CDATA[Half of Florida’s legislators failed or nearly failed in a review of their support for public records and meetings given by Florida newspapers and an open-government group after this year’s legislative sessions. In a “scorecard” produced by the Florida Society of News Editors and based on information provided by Florida’s First Amendment Foundation — which tracked a priority list of public records exemptions — the 160 legislators totaled three Fs, 77 Ds, 71 Cs, and 9 Bs. Each year FSNE completes a project devoted to Sunshine&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gov. Rick Scott did not close the door entirely on a special session on medical marijuana, telling reporters his office was reviewing his options. “I know there’s a lot of people involved and interested in the issue,” said Scott, following a stop in Fort Myers on Tuesday morning. Scott said a special session was “something we’re reviewing.” The comments come as calls for a special session to pass rules governing medical marijuana implementation continue to mount.

					<description><![CDATA[Tallahassee Mayor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum on Wednesday called proposed House funding for charter schools &#8220;a giveaway to (House Republicans&#8217;) friends and family.&#8221; But Gillum at first wouldn&#8217;t answer whether he would veto such funding if he were governor, saying instead he would put a &#8220;premium&#8221; on fully funding the state&#8217;s public school system. A spokesman later said he would veto that kind of funding if elected, explaining Gillum &#8220;fundamentally believes the bill&#8217;s approach is wrong.&#8221; The mayor appeared with Democratic state&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Calling it an &#8220;emergency,&#8221; Florida may agree to spend up to $200 million to shift students from chronically failing schools to charter schools run by private organizations. The idea crafted by House Speaker Richard Corcoran and other top Republicans in the Florida House is this: Offer up money to help build &#8220;Schools of Hope&#8221; in neighborhoods, many of them in urban and poor areas. The schools would be within 5 miles of or in the zones of existing traditional public&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The House Appropriations Committee approved a bill that would give $1.8 million to the family of Devaughn Darling, who died in a Florida State University football practice in 2001. Darling’s family has been seeking legislative approval for the money since 2005, when they won a judgment of $2 million in a wrongful death suit. State law limits the amount that can be paid out in such suits to $200,000, leaving Darling’s family to seek the remaining balance through the Legislature.&#8230;]]></description>
