Florida Senate to vote on permitless carry bill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:34:26 GMT

Floridians may soon no longer need a permit to carry a gun. The state Senate is set to take up the permitless carry bill on Wednesday, following the passage of a similar version in the House last week.The new law would allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons without the need for a previously required license and training. If the measure is approved by the Senate and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida would join 26 other states that have already enacted permitless carry laws.Florida already has some of the most lenient gun laws in the country, including the “stand your ground” law that allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense. However, the proposed permitless carry law would go even further in easing restrictions on gun ownership and use.The fate of the permitless carry bill now rests in the hands of the state Senate, with many eyes watching to see whether Florida will join the growing number of states that allow permitless carry or whethe...

Nice Today, Cold Wind Tomorrow

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:34:26 GMT

A frosty start greets us this Wednesday morning, but the overall day turns out nice as temps bounce up quickly and more sunshine than cloud cover wins out. Winds are light too, which will allow for local sea breezes to keep it cooler at the coast. Highs range from the mid to upper 40s at the coast to low to mid 50s inland. Tonight, a cold front blasts through with scattered snow showers and squalls between midnight and 4am. Squalls that are heavier across the interior may throw down a few slick spots, especially in the higher terrain, as temps will crash back below the freezing mark. Any rain/snow shower near the coast predawn tomorrow morning is off the coast by 5am as a cold wind takes over. Temps tomorrow morning run in the mid to upper 20s, but with a wind gusting 25-30mph, it’ll feel like the teens to lower 20s. Not exactly what we like to envision for baseball weather, but we’ll play the hand we’re dealt. At least it’ll be dry with some sunshine as t...

ASK IRA: Are Heat facing a 43-39 reality as their final record?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:34:26 GMT

Q: I have resigned myself that my Miami Heat are a very poor team. It is going to be a small miracle if they can win 42 games and finish above .500. And even if they do get into the playoffs, somehow, I fear the worst. They are just not playing good. – Roland, Borrego Springs, Calif.A: I could see an ultimate basement of 43-39, figuring they find a way to at least beat Detroit, Washington and Orlando (even though they already have lost to each). Otherwise, figure they will be underdogs in New York and Philadelphia, and who knows how it plays out Saturday against Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks? Kyrie already has beaten them once this season, as has Luka.Q: Gabe Vincent has back spasms and plays. Jimmy Butler has neck spasms and doesn’t. Ira, what’s wrong with this picture? – Ian.A: First, Jimmy Butler had what the Heat listed as “neck soreness.” But beyond that, you can’t compare injuries. And be fair, Jimmy has gone months witho...

Howie Carr: Elizabeth Warren’s reelection bid no surprise

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:34:26 GMT

How can we miss her when she won’t go away?No surprise that the fake Indian is planning to run for yet another six-year term in the US Senate next year, when she’ll be 75 years old, and does anything seriously believe that will be her swan song?You know, I get that Liewatha doesn’t want to retire. As the late Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden used to say, “Ain’t but one major event left after you retire.”That one major event would be a trip to the Happy Hunting Grounds, as Fauxchahontas’ ancestors, er, non-ancestors, used to say, at least in the Republic Pictures B-movie westerns.But when did careers in Congress become peerages – lifetime appointments, with titles?When Harry S Truman left the presidency in 1953, he drove his own car back to Independence MO. Few politicians stayed in Washington after retirement or defeat. Maybe it was the lack of air conditioning.Then the Congressmen realized that post-retirement, they could make a lot more dough as lobbyists or influence ped...

Maura Healey finds resistance to tax cut proposal among lawmakers, advocates

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:34:26 GMT

If the state’s Democratic governor thought her proposal to cut taxes would be met with welcome arms during a hearing before the equally liberal Massachusetts Legislature, lawmakers and advocates surely disabused her of that notion this week.“So if we’ve got a renting family of four, with a teenager and a four year old, if they’re in the bottom 80% of earners, which let’s be real is most of us, per year that family would see maybe 700 bucks,” state Sen. Becca Rausch said. “But if the same family falls into the top 1%, they’re looking at much closer to $8,000 per year, plus the transfer of a $182,000 credit when an estate passes through generational wealth.”Gov. Maura Healey on Monday appeared before the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Revenue to explain her proposal to follow through on a longstanding campaign promise and cut taxes.Healey’s plan, about $742 million in cuts that includes $100 million in additional revenue neutral adjustments, would combine the Household Dependent Tax...
