You'd think all human life depended on clean water or something. Beer snobs can rejoice because the Legislature voted to repeal a law dictating the size of beer bottles.

Some supporters speak darkly about an end to the team.
Others propose hanging loose until next session when they can ask the state for wheelbarrows full of money to build a park with a retractable dome and more sky-box space. The Legislature actually turned down an opportunity to add to the state's lineup of license plates. The House approved a 52nd plate in honor of the game of golf, but it died in Senate committee on the last day of the session. Perhaps the Senators believe more field research on this subject is required. I think we've got enough specialty tags that Florida should consider a specialty tag saluting specialty tags.
