Will voters overturn the Florida gay marriage ban? Will Pitbull do us a favor and just run for governor already?

Be skeptical, be opinionated
Aug. 4, 2014Being a columnist for the Alligator was one of the best experiences I could have asked for. It has brought me an unprecedented amount of joy for the past three semesters.
