TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott has made amends with animal rights activists.

They had been unhappy with his alligator hide boots.
They also were displeased by his recent comments that alligators were his least favorite Florida animal and that he wouldn't mind shooting one.
But on Friday the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida issued a news release praising Scott's line item budget veto of $150,000 to promote alligator products.
Spokesman Don Anthony says the foundation is happy that Scott "recognizes in a difficult year, marketing the meat and skin of alligators killed in Florida" should not be a state priority.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
