Rick Scott scrubs ‘toe nail clipper’ highrise funding in veto

Developers who want to build that Disneyesque-looking Skyrise Miami building downtown will have $2 million less for construction, now that Florida Gov. Rick Scott included that little legislative gift in the budget items he vetoed on Monday. While this year’s $77 billion budget may have set a state record, these $69 million in cuts may […]

Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who wants to take his old job away from Gov. Rick Scott, is going to open not one but two local campaign offices, now that Miami-Dade is his new home.

Charlie Crist’s Cuba trip — just another flip
