For anyone who remembers the years of litigation and re-drawing of maps after the 2012 redistricting ... Who's ready for more?!
Our editorial:
Unconstitutional congressional district maps in Ala. and La. have been overturned after U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and the court has also found that such maps are subject to state court review in a case out of North Carolina. Florida's maps could be next. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/05/…
"Fine declined to comment to the Sun Sentinel when reached Wednesday on his cellphone.
“I’m in Ireland. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t talk to the Sentinel,” he said before hanging up."

The jury in Scot Peterson's trial made the correct decision on the law. Should the law be changed to stipulate that armed law enforcement officers have a duty to protect citizens? What would such a change in the law look like specifically? sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/04/…
At its last meeting, in which it was supposed to approve the contract of Broward's new school superintendent, the School Board failed to do so because there wasn't a quorum -- only three out of nine members were in the room.
For most of us who work for a living, showing up on the job on a work day is a minimal expectation. But for some members of the Broward School Board, just showing up appears to be asking too much, writes @browardschools' former communications director. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/04/…

Florida's ban on discussing sexual orientation in schools was worded as vaguely as possible, writes columnist @Scott_Maxwell, and then schools were warned to err on the side of caution. What happened next was all too predictable. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/04/…
This Fourth of July, we celebrate @FLFreedomRead, @FLRightsRestore, @jack_petocz, @FLCTRGA, @ProudTwinkie, and all those who have pushed for the recognition of the rights of all Floridians.

Freedom and liberty are not destinations, they are journeys. Today, there are many who carry forward the work begun by our Founding Fathers. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/03/…

Extreme, pro-censorship authoritarians are ringing in July 4 by calling for book bans, writes @SvanteMyrick, president of @peoplefor. That’s un-American and wrong. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/03/…
We may be seeing the final boss level of what @doctorow has termed #enshittification. Stunning stuff.

One example among many: DeSantis has promised to not merely build Trump's promised border wall, but to have suspected smugglers shot on sight and invade Mexico to battle drug cartels. sun-sentinel.com/2023/07/01/…
Update: DeSantis just signed this bill into law.

Mayor Mike Ryan of @cityofsunrise writes that wire fraud around real estate deals, in which scammers convince homebuyers to send money to the wrong bank account, is a growing problem that must be addressed by Congress and bank regulators. sun-sentinel.com/2023/06/29/…
Given the authoritarian bent of our governor, the last thing we need are rubber stamps where we should have checks and balances, yet here we are.
Our editorial:
The Florida Supreme Court found a pretext to refuse to hear the case of suspended State Attorney
@AndrewWarrenFL. Had it not been the pretext it found, its ruling shows the increasingly partisan high court would likely have found another. sun-sentinel.com/2023/06/28/…

Former @FloridaGOP chair @AlCardenasFL_DC writes that, on the issue of immigration, some of today's Republican candidates focus on "fear, division, scapegoating and the scoring of political points." sun-sentinel.com/2023/06/27/…
