Sun-Sentinel Won't Endorse Any GOP Candidate

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's editorial board says it can't endorse any of the 2016 Republican candidates -- a rebuke that especially stings Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. The Sun-Sentinel, lambasted Rubio, writing that he "has almost no experience and has done little but run for office," and criticizing his missed Senate votes.
"Because Rubio has failed to do his job as a senator, broken the promises he made to Floridians and backed away from his lone signature piece of legislation on immigration, we cannot endorse him for president," the newspaper wrote. here

South Florida Sun-Sentinel lead editorial, entitled, “Marco Rubio should resign, not rip us off.”
If you hate your job, senator, follow the honorable lead of House Speaker John Boehner and resign it. Let us elect someone who wants to be there and earn an honest dollar for an honest day’s work. Don’t leave us without one of our two representatives in the Senate for the next 15 months or so. You are paid $174,000 per year to represent us, to fight for us, to solve our problems.

Good Job Governor Scott

Palm Beach County's "Snitch On Your neighbor" Program
One place where liberals and libertarians can find common ground is government intrusion into private lives, and Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s “Violence Prevention Program” has all the earmarks of authoritarian overreach. Bradshaw, a Democrat, stoked anger amongst conservatives when he suggested the program would be used to target political free speech deemed potentially violent by authorities.

Florida Governor Rick Scott said, no thanks.

However, (Please note) Scott’s reason for vetoing funding was because the whole state would have been paying for a local program, and apparently had little to do with public rancor over the proposal. Scott called the program a “very-well-intended project.”
