Thanks Dan...We need more people that are as committed to Florida as you are!

Dan - THANK YOU! You are one of the Good Guys in Tally that are actually working for our children. And the future of this state. THANK YOU!Tell us what to do..... who to start calling .... who to start pestering with facts about the budget when their kids were in school (for the old timers), etc. We take direction very well - and we've got your back!ps Have you heard that Big Brothers/Big Sisters budget is being cut nationally? It's a disgrace Francine in Tampa

" But the promises to hold education harmless have become about as reliable as Octo-mom's assurance she isn't just looking for a book or movie deal."HAHAHAHAaa... That was awesome. And true.As a public school teacher, I thank you for being so candid and open about the sad reality that is our state govt's view on public education. Sadly it hasn't been a priority for years.. and I feel we've gone in such a negative direction for so long (thanks to jerkface Jeb), that it will be hard to ever fully recover...

I am so glad you are doing these service days.I wish the press would get their head out of the a**es and start providing some coverage of these events.

What a great way to spend the day with your little ones! It looks like the seniors enjoyed the visit/delivery and your lovely children look as though they enjoyed themselves as well. It's important for our children to be reminded of others that need not only to be cared for, but also spoken or visited with ~ much to be learned from our seniors. Thanx Dan!

Dan,glad you're home and get some rest.but please tell Charlie to VETO the budget and send lawmakers back to Tally.Saw where you and Dockery voted no.Good for you

The best man does not always win. If anyone was the right person for the job it was you. Let me know what your next move will be. I will always be a supporter. There are very few bright and honest politicians around like yourself that have the best interests of the populace in mind and action.Stan Worton

Dan, I am very proud of you. We will be back on the field again. Elaine

My heart is completely broken. I know you will find a way to beok. but I an afraid for Florida and I don\'t want to livehere anymore. U just don\'t understand how people don\'t see how greatyouare. I\'m so sorry Dan. I will always remember your kindness to me. Mary

I have been trying to get the election results slowly. It is simply too depressing to learn all at one that the most qualified candidates did not win. Today, I learned of your defeat. I am really sorry. In my humble opinion, you are the best person to hold the Attorney General office in the State of Florida. The ignorance of people who voted for tea party back candidates is palpable and frightening. I am reminded of when the Taliban took over Afghanistan. I hope I am wrong. :-)

What % of the state education budget comes from the lottery? When the state lottery was approved those funds were supposed to be additional to the general funding by the state. Now they have replaced those funds and cutting the funding is not cutting the lottery "extra funding" but cutting the base.
