Where Does the Money Go? An Analysis of Pensacola’s 2018 Budget
By Tanner Yea
At the end of July, Mayor Ashton Hayward revealed the proposed 2018 fiscal budget for the City of Pensacola. The city council met on August 1 and 2 to hold private discussions concerning the budget, but September will see two public hearings—one on September 13 and the final on September 20. According to Florida law, the budget must be passed before the end of the fiscal year, which falls on October 1. The proposed budget is notable for a few reasons, but the stand-out reason being it is the largest budget since 2012. At $226.6 million, it is $8.7 million higher than last year’s budget. Comparatively, the budget for 2012 amounted to $222.1 million. Around $215 million of this budget will be paid by taxes and revenue, while the remaining $11.6 million will come out of various city reserves. The city’s millage rate—which is the amount per $1,000 used to calculate property tax—will continue to stay at 4.2895, which hasn’t changed since 2012. The budget has received significant criticism, as some believe the money will not be allocated well. One critic is Councilwoman Sherri Myers, representative of District 2— which includes Cordova Mall, Sacred Heart Hospital, and a large variety of businesses, restaurants and urban communities. “The budget isn’t binding, the mayor can move around the money how he wants once the budget is passed. There’s a lack of oversight and transparency,” said Myers. “I’m also concerned about the bargain made with the LOST fund.” LOST stands for ‘local option sales tax’, a tax imposed on a city or county level instead of a state or
federal level. 2018’s proposed budget has about $13 million going to LOST, a nearly $5 million increase from last year. These funds are used to purchase ‘capital equipment’, such as police cars, fire engines and other similar equipment. Other notable budget shifts include a $948,800 decrease in funds for the port, a $1.353 million decrease in the Community Redevelopment Agency, and a $469,000 increase in the Urban Core Redevelopment Trust—a general infrastructure improvement fund that covers most of the downtown area. In addition, the Section 8 federal housing assistance program funding is down $849,000, and general governmental funding is down $279,000. Funding towards Maritime Park and its various programs has increased $524,300. The overall budget shows a general increase in funding for most divisions, with a continued focus on growing downtown. One organization receiving funds from the budget is the Florida West Economic Development Alliance, the economic development organization for Pensacola and Escambia County. FloridaWest is dedicated to building, growing and sustaining the economic potential and prosperity of communities, businesses and individuals in our
Northwest Florida region by drawing new industry to the region, working with existing business on workforce needs and operating CO:LAB, a business incubator. “We’ve just come off of a recession, and the city, with the leadership of Mayor Hayward, has seen tremendous growth. All the construction and building shows a new demand for it,” said Scott Luth, CEO of FloridaWest. “That kind of growth requires an increase in funding (for the city), which is great. It shows that more people have invested in Pensacola.” FloridaWest is funded through non-departmental agency funding and has received a steady funding of $150,000 a year for the past five years. Luth said these funds account for FloridaWest membership dues for the city, and much of their funding comes from outside agencies. “We don’t have any plans for asking for increases from public funds, but we are going to increase private funding. We’ve always requested level funding from public sources,” said Luth. Other institutions have steady budgets, such as the Lakeview Center, which gains $20,000 a year, and the Council on Aging, which gains $70,000 a year. Mayor Hayward said that his budget tries to find a balance be-
tween enhanced services to taxpayers and completing them in costeffective ways to combat increased spending. “My fiscal year 2018 budget proposal reflects this new reality,” said Hayward in a statement delivered by Public Information Officer Vernon Stewart. “I am proposing a budget that will keep us on the right trajectory by emphasizing improvements to the delivery of our core services and continuing the progress we have made in improving and maintaining our infrastructure.” Councilwoman Myers said that the budget approval process itself has not been clear and orderly, and this has resulted in the city council not having an adequate amount of time to discuss changes. She also argues that certain sections of the city are getting more attention, with the north end of Pensacola not getting its fair share of the budget. “The mayor didn’t seemingly plan for us to have a budget workshop, and the only reason we had it was because I had insisted upon it. The workshop agenda was not put together well, the council hadn’t even discussed our own budget, and the budget was given to us late,” said Myers. “It’s a moral issue. The money is not their money - it’s the taxpayer’s money, and I
don’t like the way the decisions are made to use that money.” The budget needs a simple fourperson majority of the seven-member city council in order to pass, but it must be passed in some form before the fiscal year begins on October 1. “My administration has shown that it is possible to meaningfully rein in spending by addressing the growing cost of government,” said Mayor Hayward in his statement. “By differentiating between wants and needs and then further deciding which needs have the greatest priority, we have saved money where it needed to be saved and spent money where it needed to be spent. Now we intend to show that this model is sustainable over the long term.” Both detractors and supporters of the budget will have a chance to speak at the two public hearings on September 13 and September 20. Both will be held at 5:30 pm at City Hall, and used to discuss both the budget and the continued millage rate.

PSC receives $1.3 million grant for Veterans Upward Bound program
Pensacola State College has received a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to renew its Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) program for the next five years. This program assists 130 veterans per year as they gain skills needed to enter college and become successful students. The program at Pensacola State is currently the only VUB program in Florida and is one of only 49 federally funded TRIO Veterans Upward Bound programs in the country. While the VUB program provides academic instruction, mentoring, tutoring, cultural experiences and college and university visits, the real benefits are more far-reaching, according to veteran Michelle Coger. “I had been out of high school for several years, and VUB gave me the structure I needed to prepare for college classes,” Coger said. “It also put me on the right direction for planning things like registration and financial aid.” She completed the VUB program in summer 2016 and immediately enrolled as a PSC student majoring in social work. Coger plans to graduate next May and transfer to the University of West Florida to complete her bachelor’s degree. Following a 16-year military career, David Smith entered the VUB program to brush up on skills he needed to pursue an engineering degree. After completing the program in 2016, he discovered that VUB also saved tuition dollars when he became a student at Pensacola State. “I was able to take college prep classes for free through VUB. If I had entered college without taking advantage of VUB first, I would have paid tuition for the developmental classes I needed to take before starting college-level pre-engineering classes,” said Smith, who will graduate in December and transfer to UWF to complete his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. For Joshua Tallant, with a 22year military career, VUB offers a familiar place within a strange college environment. “The prep classes and school structure help us keep the ball rolling, but also important is that VUB puts veterans in touch with other veterans and helps us navigate the system,” said
Tallant who completed VUB in May and is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity at Pensacola State. VUB project director Rob Gregg agrees that networking plays an essential role in student success for veterans. “VUB provides continuity for veterans; a place for vets to talk about issues they face with other vets who have been there. By mid-day, our area is full of veterans studying, working and talking. I love to hear their conversations – they learn the answers to questions they don’t know how to ask,” said Gregg, a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer. Gregg is excited about future expansion of VUB services at Pensacola State. In particular, he is planning for VUB services to be available to residents in outlying areas through Virtual Tutoring at the college’s Century Center and South Santa Rosa Center. “Veterans in the areas of Century and South Santa Rosa have been underserved because of the lack of public transportation,” Gregg said. “Through our Virtual Tutoring program, we will be able to give one-on-one, personalized tutoring to veterans who can’t come to the Pensacola campus.” As a federal TRIO program, Gregg also pointed out that VUB is available to veterans no matter where they plan to enroll in college. “VUB is housed at Pensacola State, but we welcome all veterans who qualify for the program and we are committed to helping them be successful wherever they plan to go to college,” Gregg said. The VUB program requires that at least two-thirds of the participants meet income requirements and be firstgeneration-in-college. Participants must be military veterans who served in active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for more than 180 days and received other than a dishonorable discharge, among other qualifications. VUB is located in Building 6 on the PSC Pensacola campus and Rob Gregg can be reached at 850-484-1438 or rgregg@pensacolastate.edu.

UWF Student Writers Helping High School Student Writers Write Better
The UWF Writing Lab opened its doors to UWF students in 1976 when UWF was only a two-year university. Then, Mamie Webb Hixon, the Lab Director since 1982, explains, the Lab provided services to a specific group of students – those who needed help fulfilling UWF’s writing skills requirement of passing the Test of Standard Written English. Hixon, however, saw a way to expand ¬¬¬-the services both at the university and in the local and surrounding communities to what those services are today: the Grammar Hotline, originally a call-in service and now an email service as well that answers grammar questions from students, faculty, administrators, concerned citizens, and business professionals; an interactive face-to-face and online paper reading service for students; a virtual and face-to-face tutoring service for students, just to name a few. I wanted to make the Lab an academic, grammar-friendly environment where students and professionals did not have to feel fearful of grammar or feel embarrassed about their writing skills, Hixon said. That same academic, grammarfriendly environment from UWF’s main Writing Lab on the campus of the University of West Florida is what has informed and inspired the satellite writing Labs on and off campus. On campus, Hixon and her student staff opened a satellite Writing Lab in the College of Professional Studies in 2009 and a satellite Lab in the College of Business in 2014. Then, in 2015, the Escambia County School District partnership began with the opening of a satellite Writing Lab at Booker T. Washington High School. This Lab, as well as the one to be opened at Pine Forest High, says Hixon, is available during and after school hours on designated days for paper reading services. UWF Writing Lab assistants read students’ papers for content, grammar, and mechanics. After a pre-reading, in which the “labbie” paper reader reads and identifies each student’s strengths and weaknesses, the labbie will follow up with a face-to-face interactive paper-reading session with the student. This format is similar to the format used in the Writing Lab with university student clientele. The labbies will also help students with brainstorming ideas. At Pine Forest High School, which will open Tuesday, October 10, 2017, with the ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for Friday, October 6, at 9:00 a.m. in the Innovation Center (formerly the library) at Pine Forest High School. “We’re extremely excited about bringing this much-needed service to Pine Forest,” exclaimed Latasha McGruder, an assistant principal at Pine Forest High School. McGruder was the Reading Coach at Washington High and a member of the Writing Partnership planning team when the Writing Lab opened there in 2015. Rus Phelps, UWF Writing Lab Coordinator, was also one of the members of the planning committee team for the first high school satellite Lab and has been working with Hixon to prepare for the October 10th opening of the second high school satellite Lab. “What a great opportunity this kind of professional training will be for the Writing Lab assistants, many of whom are teacher trainees,” Phelps said. Victoria Houghton, a UWF junior and English major, is excited about making plans for both the paper reading sessions with students and the tu-
toring sessions, which Pine Forest will offer through its SOAR (Student Opportunity for Academic Re-enforcement) Program. The Writing Lab will offer tutoring of various writing skills, which Hixon calls SOAR Through Grammar/Writing sessions: Commas, Topic Sentences, Pronoun Use, etc. Soar Through Grammar/Writing sessions will be offered every Tuesday from 10:10 to 10:40 in the Innovation Center. Unlike the paper reading sessions, which are one-on-one, the SOAR Through Grammar Sessions are group sessions for which students register. Houghton will be the UWF Writing Lab tutor and paper reader at Pine Forest. “It was evident,” said Phelps, “that we have overwhelmingly enthusiastic support from the principal and other administrators, faculty, and staff when the UWF Writing Lab staff met with the Pine Forest staff during faculty orientation and teacher planning week in August.” Connecting with the community is something the UWF Writing Lab is accustomed to doing. Just call the Writing Lab, and you’ll hear the voice of Jared Willets, WEAR TV-3’s Co-Anchor, delivering the outgoing voicemail greeting. In addition to providing the Grammar Hotline service, which reaches local, surrounding, and out-of-state and international communities, The Lab has sponsored essay contests for high school students during National Grammar Day (March 4) of each year. The Lab also assesses/scores essays for local organizations that sponsor essay contests. In addition, Writing Lab paper readers serve as editors for a local magazine Out Front Magazine, and the Lab’s paper readers have provided editing services for Pensacola Magazine/ Ballinger Publishing in the past. Finally, Hixon produces and narrates a local radio grammar show called It’s GrammarTime on a local AM/FM station, a spin-off from her former All the Write Stuff radio grammar series, which ran on WUWF radio for several years. Hixon, as Lab Director, has also facilitated a number of on-the-job writing workshops for medical, legal, educational, and other business professionals. “The Writing Lab,” says Dr. Jeff Newberry, Professor of English at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Tifton, Georgia, and former Writing Lab assistant, “is one of UWF’s best assets.” “The UWF Writing Lab at Pine Forest High and at Washington High are perfect examples of the kinds of local partnerships that can really benefit our community. I’m so proud of the students, faculty, and staff who have worked so hard to make this educational partnership possible. It’s wonderful to see a cutting-edge program like this one become a reality,” said Dr. Steve Brown, Dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities at UWF.

SENATOR SEEKS $100 MILLION FOR FLORIDA FOREVER By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
At least $100 million a year would be set aside for Florida Forever, the state’s most prominent landpreservation fund, under a measure filed by Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island. Bradley’s proposal (SB 370) would annually designate a portion of the state’s Land Acquisition Trust Fund for the Florida Forever program, which in the past received as much as $300 million a year but for nearly a decade has fallen out of favor among lawmakers. Bradley, who chairs the Senate Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee, said in prepared statement the bill meets the demand of the “overwhelming majority of Floridians.” “Floridians are blessed with some of the most unique ecosystems in the world, from springs to the Everglades to coral reefs to world class beaches and rivers,” Bradley said. “As our population continues to explode, we have an obligation to preserve these unique ecosystems for our children and grandchildren. The Florida Forever program helps us fulfill this obligation.” The bill doesn’t have a House version but drew praise Monday from environmentalists.
“Florida voters have made it clear they want more funding for parks, wildlife corridors, and environmentally important natural areas like wetlands,” said Aliki Moncrief, Executive Director of Florida Conservation Voters. “I hope that SB 370 is the first sign of the Senate’s renewed commitment to continuing Florida’s legacy of acquiring critical natural areas before they are lost forever.” Eric Draper, executive director of Audubon Florida and a prominent environmental lobbyist, called the proposal a “major commitment” and the first seen in years from legislative leaders. Bradley’s proposal would be added to a law known as “Legacy Florida,” which dedicates up to $200 million a year toward Everglades and Lake Okeechobee projects out of money put into the trust fund. The law also directs $50 million a year for the state’s natural springs and $5 million each year for Lake Apopka. Voters in 2014 approved a constitutional amendment that requires a portion of documentary-stamp tax revenues go to land and water conservation. That money goes into the Land Acquisition Trust Fund. The Department of Environmental Protection has estimated that the real estate documentary taxes used
to fund the Land Acquisition Trust Fund will generate $862.2 million next fiscal year. The agency has recommended Gov. Rick Scott include $50 million for Florida Forever in his budget proposal for the 2018 session. Since 2001, Florida Forever has been used to purchase more than 718,000 acres for $2.9 billion. But the program has languished since the recession and as some key legislators have questioned the need for Florida to buy more land while struggling to manage the land it already owns. Meanwhile, environmental groups continue to pursue a lawsuit that argues lawmakers have not properly carried out the 2014 constitutional amendment because of a limited amount of spending on land buying and preservation. The case is expected to go to trial next summer. The environmental groups --- the Florida Wildlife Federation, St. Johns Riverkeeper, the Environmental Confederation of Southwest Florida and the Sierra Club --- contend the money was improperly diverted from conservation purposes to agency staffing and operational expenses.
CONSTITUTION PANEL KICKS OFF WITH CAUTIOUS APPROACH By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
The Florida Constitution Revision Commission got off to a cautious start Monday, advancing only two of more than 1,400 constitutional changes that had been filed by the public. The commission, which meets every 20 years and has the power to put constitutional amendments on the 2018 general-election ballot, voted to give further consideration to a measure to close the so-called “write-in candidate loophole” in state election law and to an amendment that would remove obsolete language related to a failed high-speed rail plan. Commissioner Sherry Plymale of Palm City asked the commission to give preliminary support to an amendment (700396) from Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg that seeks to end the practice of closing party primaries when a write-in candidate is on the general election ballot. Under state law, all voters can participate in a primary when only one party fields candidates. But if a writein candidate, who doesn’t have a party, files for the general election, it closes the primary to only one party’s voters. The net effect, for example, is that if Republicans have a primary and Democrats do not, Democratic voters still cannot cast ballots in the primary if there is a write-in in the general election. Democrats can vote in the gen-
eral election, but only the Republican primary winner’s name will be on the ballot, virtually assuring the outcome of the election. Under the amendment, which advanced by a 27-3 margin, all voters would be able to participate in a primary if there is no other general election opposition or if the only opposition comes from write-in candidates. The measure, which needed 10 votes to advance, will now be referred to Constitution Revision Commission committees for further consideration. In a unanimous vote, the commission also backed a proposal by Martin County Clerk of Court Carolyn Timmann, who asked for support for a public amendment (700202) that would remove constitutional language for a high-speed rail system that was adopted by voters in 2000 but voided by a subsequent vote in 2004. The proposal also will move to the Constitution Revision Commission committees for further consideration. The commission will meet again on Oct. 17 to consider advancing other amendments suggested by the public, which still has until Friday to submit more proposals. Commission members have until Oct. 31 to file their own proposals, with 10 measures filed as of Monday. Chairman Carlos Beruff said there is a lot of duplication in the numerous proposals advanced by the public. Commission staff estimates there are roughly 500 unique proposals among
the more than 1,400 submitted. Beruff said other public proposals may advance in the next few weeks, while others may be embodied in measures filed by the commission members. But Beruff said he does not see the commission as a forum where largescale constitutional changes will be advanced. “It’s just a question of what makes sense, what belongs in the Constitution and not in a statute somewhere,” Beruff said. “The Constitution is a pretty fine document and we don’t need to muddle it.” Commissioner Chris Smith, a former state senator from Fort Lauderdale, said he and Commissioner Arthenia Joyner, a former state senator from Tampa, have filed an amendment (0007) seeking to restore voting rights to non-violent felons. The amendment reflects more than a dozen similar proposals filed by the public. He said public testimony on the measure has helped build momentum for the proposal. “It’s on everybody’s radar now because people came out and spoke about it so much,” Smith said. Commissioner Patricia Levesque, an education advocate, said she is open to considering a proposal to revise the class-size restriction in the state Constitution but only if the proposal can balance “the original intent of having smaller classes,” while giving the 67 school districts more flexibility.
But Levesque also said the commission should be cautious in changing the Constitution. “I think we should be wise and listen to the public and if there are things that need to be done, because that’s the path you have to take as a constitutional amendment, then I think we should consider them,” she said. “I don’t think we should do a lot of things.” Commissioner Tom Lee, a state senator from Hillsborough County, said the commission “needs to be thoughtful about the length of the ballot.” “We have had issues in prior elections where the ballot got so long it was essentially unmanageable by the supervisors of elections,” Lee said. “We probably need to take a very conservative, limited approach to what comes out of here and gets on the ballot. The Constitution is not supposed to be a trendy document.” The Legislature has already placed two constitutional amendments on the 2018 ballot, including a proposed expansion of the property tax break for homeowners known as the homestead exemption. After being debated in committees, any amendments returning to the full commission will need 22 votes from the 37-member commission before they can be placed on the ballot. The commission has a May 10 deadline for its final report. Amendments on the ballot will need support from at least 60 percent of voters to take effect.
PROPOSAL SEEKS TO ENSURE NURSING HOME AIR CONDITIONING By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Amid continuing fallout from the deaths of residents of a Broward County nursing home after Hurricane Irma, a key state senator has filed a bill that would seek to prevent lengthy air-conditioning outages at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Chairman Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, filed the measure (SB 372) Friday. It is the second Senate bill seeking to address the air-conditioning issue, which has drawn national attention since the Sept. 13 deaths of eight residents of The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills. Four other residents subsequently died. Hurricane Irma knocked out the nursing home’s air-conditioning system on Sept. 10, leaving residents in the sweltering facility for three days. Garcia’s bill, filed for the 2018 legislative session, would require nursing homes and assisted living facilities to have emergency power sources and fuel
supplies that would last at least four days. To meet that requirement, facilities could store generators and fuel supplies on site or contract with companies that could provide them in a “timely” manner when requested. The bill also would require the Florida Public Service Commission to ensure that electric utilities prioritize restoration of electricity to medical facilities with 50 residents or more, including nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. Garcia filed the bill a week after nursing-home and assisted-living officials gathered in Tallahassee for a day-long “summit.” That event, which included a panel discussion with Garcia and two other lawmakers, was called after Gov. Rick Scott’s administration issued emergency rules aimed at requiring facilities within 60 days to install generators that could power air-conditioning systems. Industry officials have argued that it is unrealistic to carry out the rules within the 60-day timeframe --- and the emergency rules last week drew legal challenges by industry groups LeadingAge Florida, the Florida Assisted Living As-

sociation and Florida Argentum. Administrative Law Judge G.W. Chisenhall on Monday consolidated the cases and scheduled a hearing for Oct. 12 and Oct. 13. Regardless of the emergency rules, Garcia made clear during the industry summit that he expects lawmakers to address the air-conditioning issue during the 2018 session, which starts in January. “The reality is we had one bad actor, and we just can’t allow that to happen again,” Garcia said. “Whatever the facts will come out … we just can’t wait for this investigation to go forward and do nothing. It’s going to happen. We’re going to move forward with some legislation in the state of Florida having to do with generators and alternative power. It just needs to happen.” The Scott administration has stood behind the emergency rules. But in announcing the rules, it also said Scott will “aggressively fight for legislation to put this (generator) requirement into law in the 2018 legislative session.” Justin Senior, secretary of the state
Agency for Health Care Administration, has indicated facilities would not have to install generators that could cool entire buildings. He said they could comply with the rules by being able to cool portions of the buildings where residents could congregate for 96 hours. Garcia’s proposal also adopts that approach, saying emergency power sources would need to be adequate to maintain a temperature of 81 degrees or cooler “within one or more areas of the facility having enough space to safely hold all of the facility’s residents.” The deaths at The Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills also led to debate about whether the facility should have been a priority for Florida Power & Light to restore power. The Garcia bill would seek to ensure that such facilities are prioritized in the future. In the more-immediate aftermath of the Broward deaths, Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, filed a bill (SB 284) last month that calls for nursing home and assisted-living facilities to have generators that could supply power for at least five days.

SCOTT DECLARES EMERGENCY AMID PUERTO RICO CRISIS By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Gov. Rick Scott on Monday declared a state of emergency in Florida in anticipation of ripples from the growing humanitarian crisis in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico. Scott issued the executive order for all 67 counties to help accommodate people who relocate to Florida due to Hurricane Maria. “With families displaced by Hurricane Maria already present and still arriving in Florida, it is critical that our state is prepared to provide the resources they need upon entering our state,” Scott said in a statement. Some lawmakers have projected that the crisis could send hundreds of thousands of people from the island to Florida. Without giving numbers, Scott’s order said families have already relocated and “are still arriving.” The executive order includes a series of steps to help prepare for an influx of people from the U.S. territory. For example, it allows the suspension
of state laws, rules and orders that could be tied to the emergency and designates Wesley Maul, interim executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, as coordinator of the state’s response to the crisis. Also, it directs that public shelters be made available at the request of local emergency-management officials and allows pharmacists to dispense up to 30-day emergency supplies of prescriptions to evacuees. The order allows “sufficient funds’ be made available from unappropriated surplus funds and the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund. It also bars businesses from selling or renting “at an unconscionable price” supplies, equipment or provisions related to the emergency. The declaration came as Florida lawmakers continued to push for more federal assistance for Puerto Rico and as Scott said Florida is ready to send relief in the form of the National Guard and supplies. Meanwhile, the state plans Tuesday
to open disaster-relief centers at Orlando International Airport, Miami International Airport and PortMiami to assist displaced Puerto Ricans. “The crisis in Puerto Rico is unlike anything we have seen before, and Florida is going to do everything in our power to help everyone impacted by this storm get back on their feet,” Scott said in a prepared statement Sunday. Scott traveled to San Juan on Thursday and on Friday said he discussed what he saw --- “complete and total devastation” from Hurricane Maria --- during lunch at the White House with President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, said the Legislature should hold a special session, as he estimates hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans are coming to Florida. The 2018 regular session starts in January. “FL needs 2 deal w/humanitarian crisis + over 100K Boricuas who’ll seek refuge here right now, not in Jan.,” Smith tweeted.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, appearing Sunday on “Face the Nation,” said signs of progress are being made. “The problem is, as I said to someone yesterday, there’s aid getting to Puerto Rico, but it wasn’t getting to Puerto Ricans because it had to be distributed from San Juan to the different municipalities and then within those municipalities distributed to people,” said Rubio, a Miami Republican. “Those distribution systems were victims of the storm themselves. They were broken. And so I felt and continue to feel that the Department of Defense are the only people that could have gone out and reestablished that. And I hope that that’s what’s begun to happen.” Before Army Lt. Gen. Jeff Buchanan arrived Thursday in Puerto Rico, Rubio had written to Trump about a need for a clear command structure for the relief effort. Rubio said the next critical measure that needs to be addressed are hospitals and making sure they have enough fuel to continue operating generators.
ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION SET TO START IN FLORIDA By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
On Sunday, Florida will join 35 other states in offering online voter registration to its residents. Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner announced Thursday that his department is ready to launch the RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov website in compliance with a 2015 law that required online registration to be available by Oct. 1. Detzner, who originally opposed the policy, said the Department of State has been working over the last two years, in cooperation with the 67 supervisors of elections across the state, to “implement an online voter registration website that provides Floridians with a secure and more easily accessible way to register to vote.” “The right to vote is sacred in our country and I hope that with this new
and convenient method, more Floridians will register to vote and engage in the electoral process,” Detzner said in a statement. Residents can register to vote at the website or update their current registrations or they can fill out and print a registration form that must be turned in to a local supervisor of elections. Voters will need a Florida driver’s license or state identification card and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers to register online, according to the Department of State. State elections officials said “multiple safeguards” are being used to verify the registrations and to protect personal information, including the use of a “stateof-the-art” firewall, data encryption, captcha boxes, which are designed to thwart bots, and session time-outs after inactivity. Pamela Goodman, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida, said her organization welcomes the
advent of the online registration system but has raised several issues about its implementation. Goodman said the new system will not follow the law if it requires wouldbe voters to have either a Florida driver’s license or state identification card as well as the last four digits of their Social Security numbers. Under the current paper registration system, Goodman said voters only have to produce a Social Security number if they lack both a driver’s license and a state ID card. She said the online law specifically states that online registration requirements can be no different than the current procedures. Goodman said Thursday that the issue was raised with Detzner but the League of Women Voters has not received a response from the state agency. “Let’s see what comes out on Oct. 1,” she said. “We remain optimistically hopeful.” Goodman said a lawsuit would be “our
last option,” saying her organization would prefer to work out the issue with Detzner. Goodman’s group also wants clarity on how third-party voter registration groups, like the league, will be able to use the online system. She also said she would like to see the state and local supervisors of elections promote the availability of online registration. In Polk County, Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards said she will take a cautious approach to using the new system. “I’m hoping for a bit of a slow start so that we can get accustomed to the processes and procedures,” Edwards said. “And if we do detect any burps or hiccups we can fix them with a smaller quantity.” She added: “Once it’s polished up and perfect, I will promote it. But it’s my nature to go slow.”
JUSTICES OVERTURN `STAND YOUR GROUND’ DECISION By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
In a legal dispute stemming from a Tampa bar fight, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday drew a line in the use of the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law in criminal and civil cases. The issue facing justices involved criminal charges and a civil lawsuit filed against Nirav Patel after he struck Ketan Kumar with a cocktail glass in 2008 at a nightclub, permanently damaging Kumar’s eye. Using the “stand your ground” law, Patel successfully argued in circuit court that he should be shielded from criminal prosecution because he struck Kumar in self-defense. He also contended that the finding of selfdefense in the criminal case should

prevent the civil lawsuit filed by Kumar from moving forward. The 2nd District Court of Appeal agreed with Patel. But in a unanimous opinion Thursday, the Supreme Court overturned the appeals-court ruling and said a finding of “stand your ground” immunity in a criminal case could not be used to block a civil lawsuit. Florida law allows “stand your ground” immunity in criminal and civil cases. But the Supreme Court opinion effectively said a determination of immunity in a criminal case does not carry over to a civil case. The opinion, written by Justice Alan Lawson, pointed in part to a section of the “stand your ground” law dealing with attorney fees, saying that it “implies recognition by the Legislature that civil immunity will be determined
separately in a civil proceeding.” Lawson also cited a change approved this year by lawmakers that dealt with the burden of proof in “stand your ground” criminal cases. That change placed a burden on prosecutors to prove by “clear and convincing evidence” that defendants are not entitled to immunity. Lawmakers took up the issue because of a 2015 Supreme Court decision that had placed a burden of proof on defendants. In Thursday’s opinion, Lawson wrote that the change led to different burdens of proof in criminal and civil “stand your ground” cases. “(The) 2017 amendment to the Stand Your Ground law creating different burdens of proof for criminal and civil immunity not only implies an understanding that separate immunity determinations will be made

but also forecloses any argument, going forward, that the criminal `determination’ could ever be binding in the civil proceeding,” the opinion said. “Even in a case where the state could not prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant was not entitled to immunity, the criminal defendant may not be able to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he is entitled to immunity in the civil case.” The long-controversial “stand your ground law” says people can use deadly force and do not have a duty to retreat if they think it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm. In the Tampa case, Patel contended that he struck Kumar in self-defense after being attacked in the bar.
