DORAL ā In Miami-Dade, El ArepazoĀ Dos in Doral is for the Venezuelans what Versailles in Little Havana was for the Cubans.
This is why Gov. Rick Scott was there Wednesday afternoon when he announced that he will be making a "big announcement" April 9th.
Scott, who is preparingĀ to challenge Sen. Bill Nelson's re-election, signedĀ a bill into law that could help him generate some major steam.
"I can tell you Iāve been governor for almost eightĀ years ...Ā itās not easy to get things done," Scott said.Ā
Scott signed a bill toĀ prohibitĀ any direct or indirect business dealings between Florida agencies and companies with ties to Nicolas Maduroās regime in Venezuela.
Sen.Ā Nelson chose Fort Lauderdale. He was there to discuss theĀ $190 millionĀ that will be used to rebuild the Fort Lauderdale Courthouse.
"Its going to be a tough race, but I tell you thereās a lot of things happening," Nelson said.Ā
Nelson added that theĀ students who survived the Valentine's Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School will be making an influence. As they lobbiedĀ for gun control, Scott put asideĀ the support of the National Rifle Association and signed a bill to address some of the concerns raised. Ā
"I think theyāre going to keep it up and I think theyāre going to demand results, that they donāt have to be afraid...Ā I think thatās going to be an issue in the campaign," Nelson said.Ā
