Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis announced more than $6 million in Hurricane Idalia disaster relief for Florida’s Big Bend. $5 million will directly be given to the City of Crystal River to further help operations within the community. Additionally, $700,000 will be directed towards Florida’s shellfish aquaculture industry and $100,000 for Taylor County’s workforce education and economic development. Finally, $250,000 will go towards the North Florida Economic Development Partnership in order to grow tourism and commerce in the area.
The State of Florida launched the Father First website that is the landing page for a “statewide and community-driven initiative” designed to assist fathers with resources in order to “be present” in the lives of their children.

The University of Florida (UF) has secured a total of $5 million from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to advance research against citrus greening.

At the very slooow rate the city, county, sheriff and police efforts are addressing the crime problem in Leon County, all we have to do is be patient.
We’re now seeing multiple killings on almost a daily basis. It won’t be too much longer before most of the residents in the high-crime areas shoot each other and there won’t be any more shooters left in Leon.
Crime problem solved.
$68.9 million for a program that is designed to assist fathers to “be present” in the lives of their children? WTH is going on in this Town? You’re spending $TENS of MILLIONS on failing Programs to keep people from committing Crimes and NOW, $68.9 MILLION on THIS CRAP? You do know that most of those “DAD’S” you are talking about are the same ones committing the Crimes that you are spending $MILLIONS to prevent?

That will alleviate crime and fix the sewage spills.
Many years ago I worked with a group out of UF’s Ag school. Florida Agriculture Services and Technologies, or FAST. They were a pretty good group, and it looks like the group mentioned above is either the newest generation of FAST or a sister organization. (It looks like FAST no longer exists.)
Anyway, kudos to my old friends in the computer programming group at FAST. Their tag line was “We’re not FAST programmers, and we’re not SLOW programmers. We’re Half-FAST!”
Loved working with those guys….
