By Eddie Gonzalez Loumiet On Wednesday, the Tallahassee City Commission voted to approve the transfer of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare’s assets to Florida State University to advance the creation of an integrated academic health ecosystem. This decision marks an important milestone, but it is only the beginning. The real work starts now. While the vote represents […]
Florida has made progress in leaps and bounds over the past few years in one important area: lawsuit abuse reform. For many years, our state was rated a judicial hellhole because the costs of litigation were so high, which spilled over into the regular economy and affected all Floridians, even those not directly involved in […]
By Jim Kallinger Ever since the Covid crisis, Florida has been emerging as one of the economic leaders of the country. Traditionally only thought of as a destination for tourists and retirees, Florida has benefitted from the relocations of some of the nation’s wealthiest billionaires and corporate leaders, attracted not just to our climate but […]

Leon County School District operating reserves have dwindled down to the minimum amount required by law and this year we were embarrassingly only able to offer our teachers a minimal raise, and other support staff saw no raise at all.
