Chaplains are now allowed in #Florida schools. The idea has caused a stir. But will anything come of it beyond the chatter?

Florida schools can use religious chaplains for counseling. Will they?

Some districts worry the law is too vague and can lead to unintended consequences.

This week I spoke with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor about the recent burst of senior officials resigning from her administration’s housing & development teams. "There is no connection," she said. A day later, another top staffer handed in his resignation.

In Tampa government, another resignation: this time, director of planning

“There is no connection,” the mayor said of recent departures. The next day, another senior city official resigned.

Here’s the latest on the #GoBolts ’ attempts to re-sign Steven Stamkos, which are clearly at an standoff with just days to go before free agency. The clock is ticking. Also, could Victor Hedman sign an extension on July 1? @TB_Times story:

Julien BriseBois uncertain if Lightning can re-sign Steven Stamkos

Both sides continue to talk but appear to be at an impasse as free agency looms Monday.

July 4 is now one week away, so what do you bet that the yahoos will start blowing stuff up this weekend? Listen to etiquette expert @PatriciaRossi and observe the "Platinum Rule" for the dogs and babies in your neighborhood @TB_Times @TBTimesBiz

Don't be a bad neighbor: July Fourth etiquette rules for noise, fireworks
