The Florida Senate is moving its version of a plan allowing college athletes to receive pay for their name, image and likeness. Florida is trying to follow California, which passed a law allowing student athletes to earn money from endorsements. Blaise Gainey has the details. The Florida Department of Education, Chamber of Commerce and Early Learning providers are coalescing their support for a bill that changes how the state’s voluntary pre-kindergarten providers are rated and overseen. Still, as Lynn Hatter reports, the providers say the bill isn’t quite perfect. When Florida legislators are forced out of office because of term limits, a lot of them return through the Capitol's revolving door -- this time as lobbyists. That was the case involving Frank Artiles (ar-TILL-ees) , a former senator from Miami-Dade, who was forced to resign three years ago. But there was just one problem -- a little-noticed rule in the House that prevents former lawmakers from lobbying for SIX years. Steve |
