Covid Cases Soar, Consumer Confidence Drops in Florida

The stateโ€“and countiesโ€“in other words, artificially keep the unemployment rate lower than it is. The federal governmentโ€™s U-6, or alternative, unemployment rate, accounts for some of that discrepancy, and is therefore a more accurate picture of the true unemployment rate. The caveat: The stateโ€™s labor department on Friday reported Floridaโ€™s third-quarter jobless average at 8.6 percent. The 12-week limit is in effect as long as the unemployment rate is below 5 percent. The unemployment rate also stalled in Volusia County, holding at 5.9 percent in October, and in St. Johns County, where it dropped by a decimal point.

Statue protesters file Sunshine suit against Lake commission

TAVARES The Lake County Board of County Commissioners is being sued for a Sunshine Law violation by residents organized against bringing a confederate statue to Lake County. The Lake County Voices of Reason, formed in direct opposition to a local effort to bring the statue of Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby-Smith to the Lake County Historical Museum, filed the lawsuit last week alleging that commissioners discussed the matter outside of meetings. The County Commission used a flawed process to approve the installation of the General Kirby-Smith statue, Voices of Reason President Cassandra Brown said in a release sent to media. The plaintiff alleges the defendants discussed the confederate statue outside public meetings before voting on July 30, 2019, thereby violating the purpose of the Sunshine Law, the statement from the Voices of Reason said. Only Commissioners Sean Parks and Wendy Breeden opposed the statue, citing issues with the process of bringing the statue to Lake and with the costs of doing so.

St. Johns GOP bucks Florida voter registration trend

In St. Johns County, where President Donald Trump won in 2016 with 64% of the vote, Republicans have been dominant, bucking the statewide pattern. St. Johns County Republicans picked up 217 more registered, active voters than Democrats since the 2018 election. Republicans in St. Johns have nearly 54% of the registered voters. As of Friday, there were 103,325 registered Republicans, 49,317 registered Democrats and 43,761 registered with no party affiliation. And there is another concern for Democrats: voters not registered with a political party, listed on voter rolls as no party affiliation.
