Leaders plead: Stay vigilant to bring COVID positivity rate down

Thats what will make a difference at how overburdened hospitals are and when schools can welcome students safely in classrooms.

Given the double digit infection rates that exists in Broward County, we dont see a feasible path to open our schools any other way on August 19, Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said. And based on positivity rates, it looks like Miami-Dade schools will follow suit. The conditions are not appropriate for an immediate grand scale return to the schools, said Miami-Dade Superintendent Albert Carvalho.

Partisan politics hurt ongoing Florida felons’ voting-rights fight, activist says on TWISF

The issue affects an estimated 1.4 million former convicted felons’ ability to vote in November. Neil Volz, the deputy director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, said he is worried about the partisan undertones that he believes have gotten in the way of the restoration of voting rights. It’s unclear how many ex-felons will end up registering as Democrats or Republicans since the litigation could take years. Ron DeSantis limited Amendment 4, Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused Florida Republicans of trying to establish a “poll tax” and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit. The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition didn’t join any of the lawsuits, but the organization has a fines and fees fund to help felons who want to register to vote.
