If the proposed ordinance to enforce a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. airboat curfew in Alachua County passes, it will cost county taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The county attorneys have indicated the same.
Wow, you can take a deep breath now.
I admit — I wept when Jon Stewart announced “The Rally to Restore Sanity.” Since entering college, this girl, who once thought there were no such things as “stupid people,” had grown into the kind of person burdened with very real nausea at a glimpse of Fox News. Or any news program, for that matter. Any message board, too. Any public political dialogue that descended into arrogance and insanity — and so many do. The reaction frustrated me, and when Stewart called for a rally to encourage reasonableness and respect in public discourse, I felt my anxieties might be soothed.
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.

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.
Chris Rainey will probably see the field Saturday. That’s not a guarantee. Don’t take it to the bank. Like anything related to the UF football team, fans won’t actually know until the game starts.
