Nudists, Dead Fish, and Teachers for June 7, 2008
It’s a slow Saturday with regional news. The Tribune’s Metro section led with a story on “God’s Stethoscope” by a 12 year-old. That’s well and good, but it didn’t belong in a newspaper’s Metro section. Editorial…maybe.
Let’s get to today’s articles: Storm blamed for thousands of dead fish in Lake Apopka That happened because the lake was too shallow. Too little water–shallow lake. You get the drill now.
Teachers’ Bonuses Will Shrink - We don’t have the money to pay teacheres. I’m certain that won’t come back to haunt us in a few years.
Budget Cuts to Affect Staffing at Branch Courthouses The Public Defender’s office is finding it difficult to defend the public with little cash. Somehow the state will find money to incarcerate our criminals.
Finally, a feel good story of a business that is doing very well. Nudist Popularity Really Taking Off The West end of the region contains the “nudist capital of the United States?” I guess if we can’t afford to buy clothes nudity will really take off!
