  • Aaron Bean from Fernandina Beach
    2020 2022 THE FLORIDA SENATE HANDBOOK 1 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT WILTON SIMPSON President of the Senate Welcome to the Florida Senate. During this unprecedented global pandemic, the Senate has partnered with an infectious disease team at Tampa General Hospital and hired an in-house epidemiologist to develop safety protocols designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep Senators and our Senate professional staff as safe as possible. Just like our Senators and staff, you also play an important role in the legislative process. Input from various stakeholders and members of the public is critical, and the Senate is working diligently to ensure Floridians have access to their elected officials as we consider important legislation for our state. Until the COVID-19 vaccine is widely available for those outside of high-risk designation, the Senate is proceeding with care and caution, limiting in-person meetings, and observing social distancing guidelines, mask requirements, and sanitation protocols. For the 2021 Regular Session of the Florida Legislature, the Senate is working in partnership with Florida State University to reserve three remote viewing rooms at the Leon County Civic Center, which provide the opportunity for members of the public to view meetings and virtually address Senate committees in a safe, socially distant manner. We also encourage you to stay involved by viewing all Senate meetings and floor sittings on our website and contacting your local Senator with suggestions, ideas, and feedback. I look forward to the day when we can all be together again walking the halls and chambers where Florida's citizen-legislators have served for generations.

  • I Began Racing Circle Track Stock Cars When I Was Just 14, My Father Knew About This and Supported My Efforts, As Long As My Mother Didn’T Find Out
    I began racing circle track stock cars when I was just 14, my Father knew about this and supported my efforts, as long as my Mother didn’t find out. (She never did lol) My Dad introduced me to everyone that he could as it related to racing. In 1979, just 2 years after Richard prior portrayed the character of Wendell Scott in the movie “Greased Lightning” my Dad and I found ourselves in Danville Virginia looking for race car parts. It was on this trip to Danville that I was fortunate enough to meet and become friends with Wendell Scott, and the entire Scott family. Wendell was a man who had experienced firsthand, the harshness of discrimination. I remember the first day that we met Wendell Scott, he left what he was doing at his auto repair business, put us in his old Cadillac, and took us on a tour of Danville. Wendell showed us the routes he used to outrun the Police back in the 40’s & 50’s when he ran moonshine. He showed me where the train wreck of old 97 happened, and other various points of interest around Danville. Wendell still had most of his old vintage race cars stored in his back lot, it was like touching history. We had lunch together and afterward we went to his home where we met Mary (his wife), and Sybil, (one of his youngest daughters). I grew up in a home where everyone was welcome. My mother and Father taught us to treat people the way we wanted them to treat us, and they showed us by example.

  • Final Project Paper
    Schneider 1 Gordon College Seek the Truth: How NASCAR and the Media Mishandled the Talladega Noose Investigation Benjamin Schneider Dr. Gardner COM 491 2 December 2020 Schneider 2 Sonja K. Foss’ book Rhetorical Criticism outlines several different methods of application for media criticism. While all of these methods have their own merits to them, Foss acknowledges that the best way to engage in rhetorical criticism, particularly for “seasoned rhetorical critics” (411), is through no single formal method of criticism. This method is called “generative criticism,” where the writer builds a more general explanation of the artifact rather than following a previously developed method of criticism. This project will employ generative criticism to analyze the events that led up to the noose investigation in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in June 2020, how both mainstream and alternative media covered the story, how almost every single outlet and media member got some part of the story wrong (whether it be entirely through their own negligence or with the help of a hastily released statement by NASCAR the night of the original report), and how the failure to get the story right proved detrimental to NASCAR, the credibility of the media, and, through no fault of his own, the public reputation Wallace himself. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Video showed officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes, while Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” before succumbing to the brutality (Brooks).
