State Rep. Adam Hasner, who won’t be on the ballot until the Nov. 7 election, said he didn’t see the long lines at early voting polls the way he did in 2004.

Officials frequently had to distribute water to those in line.

State Rep. Adam Hasner has been trying to promote a bill to have all schools in Florida spend 65 percent of every dollar in the classroom. That sounds logical. It would limit our superintendent’s prerogative to hire more administrators or more educational consultants who, so far, haven’t done anything to get our students out of the bottom half of all Florida schools.
