When you go to the voting precinct this week, you might notice a group of six amendments waiting for you. Just don’t let the numbering confuse you. Two of the amendments were removed, and someone decided not to change the numbering.
As candidates across our great land of amber waves of grain push full throttle in the final two days of election season, they’re realizing it’s do-or-die time.
I’ve always told myself I would never be the type of parent who would force his dog into a ridiculous Halloween costume.
My first job out of college was an internship.
Francisco Sotomayor’s Tuesday letter completely ignores the struggles of working-class students. Sure, block tuition might be great for someone who wants to take underwater basket weaving, but some of us actually have to work to get through college.
Pamela Raymond is a former nurse who lives in the quaint city of Morristown, Vt. And according to the state, Raymond is a murderer.
We see you’ve made it through your near booklet of a sample ballot, filling in the bubbles for the best candidates (in black ink because apparently blue is just not acceptable) as we work our way through the endorsements of major political candidates. But you still have local races, judges to not reappoint (read: Charles T. Canady) and lots of amendments to bravely work your way through. Luckily, we’re not going to abandon you in the wake of a mind-numbing panic of legalese. Stay with us as we present you with your very own and possibly very first This-Looks-A-Lot-Like-Darts-&-Laurels-But-It’s-Really-Not edition of Amendment Showdown.
Wednesday’s endorsement for attorney general was the worst endorsement yet in the series of political endorsements.
Stephanie Strasser criticizes the “life-changing” results of the 2008 presidential election, but then resorts to the same rhetoric used by the 2008 Obama campaign, telling Americans that we should “vote for a change.”
It’s time to stop pretending to be “independent.” What a surprise the Editorial Board endorses Kendrick Meek and Alex Sink for senator and governor respectively.
If a voter wants experience in the race for top attorney in Florida, both the Republican and Democratic choice fits the bill.
It’s a shame after nearly four years here, I’ve yet to see anything unexpected come out of the editorial page of this newspaper. Tuesday’s not-quite-glowing endorsement of Alex Sink drew yet another yawn.
While I was not shocked that the Alligator endorsed Alex Sink for governor, I was disappointed. Instead of explaining the issues it agreed with Sink on, it spent the entire editorial bashing Rick Scott, making a number of false statements about his campaign.
In theory, the high-speed rail line linking Orlando to Tampa is a great idea. In practice, there are many more roadblocks the state of Florida needs to pass before the railway is even plausible.
My entertainment never takes priority over my reading.
As the Nov. 2 elections draw near, tension across campus practically hangs in the air like UF’s humidity. For the United States, this upcoming election is more than just big — it’s life-changing.
I really like the idea of block tuition. While I appreciate Matthew Christ’s viewpoint, I think he’s looking at block tuition all wrong.
In the race for commissioner of agriculture and consumer services, Adam Putnam stands high above the rest.
Florida’s capital might be technically set among the foul-smelling hills and dales of Tallahassee, but Miami is the real epicenter for the patented brand of flagrant weirdness that marks our state as a global destination for charlatans and miscreants of every stripe.
I respect The Independent Florida Alligator for its endorsement of Kendrick Meek for U.S. Senate, but Marco Rubio is the best choice to represent Florida.
