The Gainesville Sun
1)
More than 300 March to Say: Hands off our Parks
Governor Rick Scott has been attempting to privatize
State parks from respective cities. It has been a huge issue especially in the
city of Gainesville. The local citizens have a problem with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection taking the jurisdiction of the local
parks and opening them up to hunting, cattle grazing and more. In response,
over hundreds of citizens gathered in front of Plaines Prairie. They believe
that it is against the purpose of the Parks which is to preserve Florida`s rich
culture.
2) Taxpayers out
1.9 Million to Exit Parking Garage Deal
The city of
Gainesville has a local vision of creating this enormous luxury hotel space in
the downtown area. The issue is that the hotel`s vision of size is unfathomable
without a large enough parking space. The problem is with the local governments
decisions. They need to break out of a 99 year contract with local business
owners to make this happen. To a larger scale the issue will extend to pay out
of this deal millions that will be deducted from taxpayers.
3)
Oil prices plunge and stock prices hit lowest
levels since
The problem is that energy are pummeled as the price of
crude oil sank almost 7 percent threatened to hurt an industry that has already
been damaged. The problem is that we are seeing the lowest prices since 2003.
Investors are therefore getting worried. In essence the problem is with
everyone. The global economy may be slowing down.
4)
Dogs Patronize Gainesville`s restaurants, never
pick up the tab
There is an increase in pet friendly restaurants all over Gainesville.
Many are in the process of allowing a permit, however many restaurants are just
getting used to the cultural trends. In theory there is no problem. However, the
problem is that only a few restaurant only have a permits and pets are not
allowed in facilities due to health concerns. If inspectors were to discover
this the owners will face a huge issue paying finds.
5)
Florida's jobless rate now 5 percent, matches national level
This past
year there has been a decrease all across Florida in the General unemployment
rates. It is the lowest that the state has seen in quite some time. Over 22,000
jobs have been generated in this past year. This event does not have a problem,
however it shows a national issue resolved locally. Unemployment has been a
huge issue within American History, and to the American economy. Our governor has
created a special sector for Florida to deal with this national problem, thus
creating a solution … so far.
