Florida Tourism Numbers Dip In Second Quarter, With Fewer Us Travelers While International Visits Still Strong

Don’t be surprised as Election Day fast approaches to see many signs outside Florida churches telling you to vote a certain way. Mixing faith and politics, churches have long weighed in on matters affecting communities in the state and across the U.

One would think that less than a month before Thanksgiving, and two months before the Christmas-New Year’s holiday season, this is not an ideal time for news pages to be filled with reports about an airline’s possible bankruptcy filing, or renewed takeover talk by an old suitor, or a spate of layoffs looming in January. But the public discussion is one of the realities facing South Florida-based Spirit Airlines as the carrier’s management labors to raise cash and plot a course to return to profitability amid fierce industry competition.

As Floridians, we stand on the brink of an election that could profoundly shape the future of our communities, our state and our country for generations to come. Our choices in this election will echo beyond Election Day, which is why every eligible voter must cast a ballot. Voting is our most powerful tool for change.

Q:  Ira, I suspect that before the Bucks allow Giannis Antotokounmpo to get away, they will try to move Damian Lillard. Lillard doesn’t seem to enjoy playing for the Bucks. He has had a lot of poor shooting games and doesn’t play any defense. Maybe if the Bucks can get some younger talent and some picks, they’ll be able to appease Giannis.
