Gov. Scott and Legislature

Interesting things happening in Florida. As predicted Gov. Scott and the Republicans in the legislature don't see eye-to-eye on gun safety. Both sides agree on a 21 minimum age requirement for all gun purchases. They also have agreed on increase spending for school safety, and they will walk back tax cuts to do it. 

Some version of the Republican plan is bound to pass. Republicans dominate the legislature. An assault weapons ban, however, may become a major campaign issue in the upcoming Senate race. Sen. Nelson currently leads in the polling. 

Gov. Scott is continuing to call out the FBI and federal authorities. According to Rasmussen, 32% of likely voters want he FBI director fired. 

It will be interesting to see how this issue develops on the campaign trail.
