A proposed Florida assault weapons ban would prohibit all semi-automatic shotguns and rifles that are capable of holding more than 10 rounds. State economists say that would affect around 71 percent of rifles and half of shotguns. Charlie Strickland, CEO of Tallahassee-based Talon Training Group, says it would leave a gaping exit wound in business. Capital Reporter Blaise Gainey spoke with Strickland to find out exactly how. In recent weeks a common theme has emerged from two of Florida’s top education leaders: Addressing equity in education. Lynn Hatter sat down with Fed Ingram, President of the state’s largest teachers union, the Florida Education Association. She also spoke with Doug Tuthill, President of the biggest corporate tax scholarship program, Step Up for Students to discuss the issue. For people usually on different sides of education policy, both are deeply invested in promoting equity in public education. But what does equity look like? Here’s part of those conversations. |
