ROLLER DERBY’S 13TH ANNUAL RUNNING OF THE BULLS PENSACOLA
Get ready for a day of thrilling roller derby action at the annual Running of the Bulls Pensacola. This year’s race is set to take place on July 20 from 9 am to 12 pm at Seville Quarter, followed by an exciting lineup of post-race festivities.
The Running of the Bulls Pensacola is modeled after the world-famous Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. To maintain the thrilling spirit of the Pamplona bull run without the live animals. The bulls are West Florida Roller Derby skaters and guest skaters from leagues across the region.
The menacing derby bulls will be equipped with roller skates, horns and plastic bats, ready to lovingly tap runners along the roughly two-mile course. An afterparty and award ceremony will be held at Seville Quarter immediately following the race. From complimentary beverages and delicious food options to live music, awards, giveaways and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Attendance varies each year, but the West Florida Roller Derby anticipates having around 200 runners participate in this year’s event. Individuals can choose to participate in the race as runners, or purchase a ticket to spectate the action.
Funds raised will support the West Florida Roller Derby and promote women’s sports across the Gulf Coast region. This year
athletes who brought this event to the community.
This summer marks the 13th year of the Running of the Bulls event. What started as an event created by a small group of friends in New Orleans, has grown to also become a beloved tradition here in Pensacola. With our historic city’s unique ties to Spain, the Panhandle region is the perfect place to continue the tradition of this funfilled event.
The West Florida Roller Derby initially started with two separate leagues, Pensacola Roller Gurlz in 2010, followed by Milton’s league, Emerald Coast Roller Derby. These two leagues combined in 2019 and became a registered 501(c)(3), officially rebranding as the West Florida Roller Derby.
Jama Metcalfe, also known by her team name “Stomp,” is one of the original founding members of the Pensacola Roller Gurlz. She plays all positions on the team, but is now transitioning into a leadership role for the Running of the Bulls event. Stomp joined Pensacola Roller Gurlz shortly after moving to Pensacola with the hope of meeting new friends. Traditionally, skaters in the organization select nicknames based on a pun or play on words that relates to one of their personal hobbies or interests. Stomp’s nickname comes from one of her favorite Led Zeppelin songs, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.
According to Stomp, the West Florida Roller Derby’s goals stretch
it fosters athletic ability, community involvement and provides an environment for personal empowerment,” Stomp explained.
West Florida Roller Derby extends a warm welcome to anyone who is interested in learning and getting involved in the sport. No prior knowledge or experience is needed. In fact, the organization even loans out gear to those who are interested but don’t want to make a financial commitment. The team practices at Weber’s Skate World in Milton on Sundays and Wednesdays from 7:15 to 9:15 pm.
The West Florida Roller Derby has high hopes that the Running of the Bulls event will grow and become one of the standout events of the summer season in Pensacola. They aim to show the community what dedicated female athleticism looks like while simultaneously engaging and supporting the community. Event proceeds will directly benefit the West Florida Florida Roller Derby and its programs in the community.
“While we appreciate our current home track, we would love to be able to fund a dedicated practice space for our team. This would allow us to expand our practice hours and offer more opportunities to push ourselves as athletes,” Stomp explained.
Running of the Bulls is a familyfriendly event with activities for everyone to enjoy. The event will kick off at 9 am at Seville Quarter located at 130 E. Government St.
Those interested in participating in the race, can register for $30 online at tinyurl.com/PcolaBullRun. Basic registration includes race entry, a commemorative t-shirt and admission to the afterparty at Seville with complimentary beer and entertainment.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY COMMISSIONER
EDDINGTON
ACHIEVES THE ADVANCED COUNTY COMMISSIONER LEVEL I DESIGNATION
Santa Rosa County Commissioner Ray Eddington was presented with the Advanced County Commissioner Level I (ACC I) designation from the Institute for County Government (ICG) at an award ceremony held at the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) Annual Conference and Educational Exhibition in Orange County, Florida.
The ACC I designation is the first level of leadership achievement in the Advanced County Commissioner Program offered by ICG and signifies the completion of 27 hours of coursework.
“I attended the advanced course of FAC and have enjoyed all of them,” said Commissioner Ray Eddington, District 4. “I have learned so much from the classes and have met so many other commissioners from Florida with whom I have interacted during classes. I have learned a lot about what they do in other counties and I feel that learning from their experiences helps me in what I do for Santa Rosa County.”
ACC I is a voluntary program designed to provide county commissioners with resources to enhance their ability to serve their local communities. The program
consists of core education courses, such as growth management, financial management, and ethics, as well as elective courses such as affordable housing, emergency management, and resiliency.
“The ACC courses help prepare a commissioner for the complex challenges they will face during their time in office,” stated Eric Poole, Executive Director of ICG. “By striving to earn this designation and completing the coursework involved, they exemplify great leadership and a commitment to bettering their community.”
The ACC I education program was launched in 2006 and commissioners must fully commit to the coursework to graduate from the program. Participants are challenged to act, think and lead during times of uncertainty and adversity. Alongside Commissioner Eddington, twelve commissioners earned the ACC I designation at the award ceremony.
ACC I is made possible through a continuing partnership with the University of Florida/ IFAS Extension.

SCAM ALERT: FRAUDULENT MESSAGES POSING AS ANIMAL WELFARE STAFF
The Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare has received reports of fraudulent text and social media messages from persons claiming to represent Animal Welfare staff. These messages are being targeted to citizens with lost pets, claiming their pet has been brought to the shelter and asking for a Google verification code to retrieve the pet. These messages are not legitimate and are not associated with Escambia County and the Department of Animal Welfare. Visit the Federal Trade Commission website to learn more about verification code scams. If Animal Control Officers locate a missing pet, the owner will be notified by phone, email and/or letter. Staff will ask the owner to visit the shelter in person to verify ownership. Animal Welfare staff will never ask for funds to be sent
digitally to redeem a pet or access to a personal item. Redemption fees will be calculated at the time of redemption and paid in person. A list of animal welfare service fees is available at myescambia.com/our-services/animalwelfare/animal-shelter/animal-welfare-fees.

PATTI MARINE BUILDING
800-TON
DRY DOCK
Patti Marine, a staple in the marine industry for 45 years, has begun construction on an 800-ton dry dock thanks to a matching $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation ‘s Maritime Administration or MARAD. A dry dock is a boat repair platform that can be flooded to allow a ship to float in and be supported by blocks — the water is then pumped out so the vessel can be serviced or repaired.
Located on Bayou Chico in Pensacola, Florida, Patti Marine is known globally as a premier shipbuilder. But in Pensacola it’s a hidden gem — a family-owned operation quietly building fishing vessels, tugboats and passenger vessels destined for seas, oceans, rivers and bays all over the world. More than 40 employees work at this shipyard that has built more vessels for the Army Corps of Engineers than any other builder within a 20-year span. And some of those
employees have been with the company for more than 40 years.
Frank Patti Jr. said that the matching grant will allow Patti Marine to expand their operations and offer more ship building and repair services.
“This expansion could help Patti Marine double in size in the next 5 years,” said Patti. “That means more work and more jobs right here in Pensacola.”
Currently, Patti Marine relies on a 1200ton rail system they created for launching vessels they’ve built, but their ability to repair and refurbish existing vessels has been limited.
“This will be a game changer for Patti Marine,” said Patti. “From ocean-going fishing vessels to passenger ferries, Patti has built them all — now we’ll be able to service them all as well.”
Patti, whose family also owns Joe Patti’s Seafood, plans to complete the dry dock construction within the next 4 to 5 months.

Every single adoption saves a life and creates space to save another. Please adopt and give a pet a chance it might otherwise not have. If you can’t adopt, fostering saves lives when shelters are full. Deserving pets across the country are counting on all of us.”
500 jobs and have a total estimated fiscal impact of more than $12.3 million.

The Florida Job Growth Grant Fund is an economic development program designed to promote public infrastructure and workforce training across the state. Proposals are reviewed by FloridaCommerce and are chosen by Governor DeSantis to meet the demands for workforce training or infrastructure needs in communities around the state.
The following entity will receive an award through the Defense Infrastructure Grant:
• Santa Rosa County Whiting Aviation Park
- Security Fence Project ($500,000) - to create a secure, double-entry gate system connecting NAS Whiting Aviation Park.

A new electronic gate will also speed up emergency response and provide a secure route for personnel and equipment.
Defense Infrastructure Grants support transportation and access, housing, utilities, communications, and security needs for military communities across the state. For more information on military community programs, visit floridajobs.org.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINNING FOR MILTON INTERCHANGE PARK
The Milton Interchange Park (MIP) in East Milton, located at the southeast corner of Interstate 10 and Hwy. 87, is now under construction with expected completion in 2026. On February 10, 2022, Santa Rosa County executed a Triumph Gulf Coast grant agreement for the purchase of 192 acres of the MIP along with the park infrastructure improvements.
On April 8, 2024, Cheney Brothers Inc. was announced as the park’s first tenant. The company intends to construct a 350,000 sq ft logistics/distribution facility on 50 acres within the Milton Interchange Park that will employ 400+ people with an average wage of 115% of the local average wage with the initial capital investment over $75 million.
At the June 13, 2024 board of county commissioners regular meeting, Roberson
Underground Utility, LLC received the contract award for the MIP construction. Triumph Gulf Coast grants will fund this project.
Construction activities will include:
• Increased construction traffic on Ray Helms Road
Clearing and grubbing of existing pit areas
• Staking of existing right-of-ways for the roads and pond areas
• Logging and clearing operations within the county right-of-way
• New signal at Hwy. 87 and build out of the new MIP entrance
The Milton Interchange Park construction will allow Cheney Brothers and other prospective companies to move forward with planning, design and construction within the park furthering economic growth and jobs within Santa Rosa County.
TEAMFL AND FTBA ANNOUNCE THE 2024 EXPRESSWAY PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Transportation Expressway Authority Membership of Florida (TEAMFL) announced the 2024 Expressway Authority Project of the Year Award recipient. This prestigious award is presented annually in collaboration with the Florida Transportation Builders’ Association (FTBA) to recognize the excellent contributions of construction contractors which help to maintain Florida’s prominent role as a leader in transportation.
The Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA’s) East Selmon PD&E study led to the construction of slip ramps, improving Selmon Expressway’s flow and safety. During the research phase of the study, THEA identified an opportunity to improve service levels for drivers on the Selmon Expressway with the construction of the East Slip Ramps. The design and construction of ramps began from I-75 onto the westbound Reversible Express Lanes (REL) and the westbound REL onto the local Expressway lanes just before the 22nd Street off-ramp. Ramp 1 is located in Brandon, Florida, and Ramp 2 is located in Tampa, FL.
Construction of the slip ramps required the widening of several bridges in very tight quarters. Middlesex’s use of a Mi-Jack (Rubber Tire Gantry Crane) was perfect for this challenging environment. Its smaller footprint and capabilities allowed the demolition, beam setting, and substructure concrete
pours to proceed quicker and with much less impact to motorists than other construction methods. Also, Middlesex’s choice of H-pile foundations was unique and beneficial to the project for several reasons. The H-piles could be installed with smaller equipment in the very tight work areas (between existing bridges), were easily adaptable to the variable geotechnical conditions, minimized vibration adjacent to the CSX track and minimized soil disturbance in an area known to have contaminated soil.
“FTBA is proud to partner with TEAMFL to recognize the recipient of the prestigious 2024 Expressway Authority Project of the Year Award – The Middlesex Corporation,” FTBA President Ananth Prasad said. “Through this award, we strive to distinguish those who have and continue to do outstanding work in the transportation and infrastructure sphere, helping to shape and serve the future of Florida and its growing number of residents, and we believe this year’s recipient has achieved just that.
Greg Slater, Executive Director of THEA stated, “This project is a great example of seeing something really cost effective early in project development that could be built right away to benefit our customers, then efficiently delivering it with the THEA operations team and the Middlesex Corp. in construction. Thank you to FTBA for the outstanding recognition of our team and project”.
“We are fortunate to have support from organizations such as the BISSELL Pet Foundation, which assists shelters like ours in offering reduced adoption costs,” stated Randy Lambert, Chief of SRCAS. “Preparing these animals for their forever homes can be expensive, and we are grateful to BISSELL for helping to reduce these costs and make adopting a furever friend more accessible to our community.”
BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event is the largest funded adoption event in the country. This lifesaving event began in 2016 with the goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. More than 253,000 pets have found loving homes since its inception. Empty the Shelters is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 742 animal welfare organizations in 49 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.
BISSELL Pet Foundation and Santa Rosa County Animal Services urge families to research the pet they are interested in adopting, as well as adoption requirements. For more information on adopting or donating to “Empty the Shelters,” visit bissellpetfoundation.org/empty-the-shelters and santarosa.fl.gov/animals.
Escambia County has completed the Moreno Street Stormwater Pond and Sidewalk Improvement Project, which included construction of a stormwater pond designed to help alleviate flooding, along with a sidewalk to provide a safer walking path for area residents.
The stormwater pond was constructed north of Moreno Street between Q Street and R Street, which is a low-lying area that has previously experienced flooding. New stormwater piping and inlets have also been constructed upstream of the pond to help facilitate drainage into the pond during heavy rainfall.
“I’m excited to complete this important stormwater project in District 3 to help mitigate flooding concerns, while also providing residents with new sidewalks and benches so they can get outside and enjoy their neighborhood,” District 3 Commissioner Lumon May said. “We are always working to improve the quality of life in District 3 and throughout
Escambia County, and projects like this help us in achieving that goal.”
The new sidewalk was constructed around the stormwater pond along Moreno Street, R Street, Mallory Street and Q Street, providing a recreational walking path for the neighborhood to enjoy. The project also included the addition of three benches along the walking path.
The Moreno Street Stormwater Pond and Sidewalk Improvement Project was managed by the Escambia County Engineering Department, with Escambia County Parks and Recreation installing the benches. The project is substantially completed, with a few minor items scheduled to be completed in the coming months.

STATE APPEALS IN CHILDREN’S INSURANCE DISPUTE
SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
JIM
After a U.S. district judge rejected its arguments, Florida is going to an appeals court in a dispute about new federal guidelines in a program that provides subsidized health-insurance to children.
Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office and lawyers for the state Agency for Health Care Administration on Monday filed a notice that they were appealing the May 31 ruling by U.S. District Judge William Jung to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
As is common, the notice does not detail arguments the state will make at the Atlantabased appeals court.
The lawsuit, which Florida filed in February in Tampa, challenges coverage-related guidelines in the federal Children’s Health Insurance Program, which operates in Florida as KidCare. The program provides lowcost health insurance to children whose families make too much money to qualify for Medicaid. In Florida, that has meant families have paid $15 or $20 a month for coverage.
The new guidelines would prevent states from cutting off coverage for non-payment of premiums after children have been found eligible for the program. Eligibility is determined each year, so the state contends the guidelines could lead to coverage being provided for months without premiums being paid.
With KidCare financed by the state, the federal government and premiums, the lawsuit said family payments play an important role in “maintaining the long-term stability” of the program. The state contended that federal officials violated a law known as the Administrative Procedure Act and sought a preliminary injunction to block the guidelines.
But Jung denied the preliminary-injunction request and dismissed the lawsuit against the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Jung ruled that Florida needed to pursue an administrative challenge at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, rather than
filing the lawsuit in district court. The federal agency issued the guidelines in fall 2023 through what is described in Jung’s ruling as a “frequently asked questions,” or FAQ, document.
“CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) released the FAQs and requested amended CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) plans from states that treated nonpayment of premiums as an exception to continuous eligibility,” Jung wrote. “Rather than submitting an amended plan or risking an adverse determination, Florida filed this action in federal court seeking a preliminary injunction. This Florida cannot do.”
He also wrote that it “is undisputed that any analysis of Florida’s APA (Administrative Procedure Act) claims will largely turn on properly interpreting the Medicaid and CHIP statutes. Interpretation of these statutes falls squarely within CMS’ realm of expertise, especially considering Medicaid and CHIP’s recognized complexities.”
U.S. Department of Justice attorneys have argued that the guidelines properly carry out a federal law known as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which made changes to the Children’s Health Insurance Program. In a February court filing, Justice Department attorneys said the law required the children’s program to match a “continuous eligibility requirement” in Medicaid that does not allow dropping coverage for nonpayment of premiums.
Florida’s program dates to the 1990s, with subsidized insurance available to families with incomes up to 210 percent of the federal poverty level. As an example, a family of four at 200 percent of the poverty level this year would have income of $62,400, according to federal calculations.
The Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis last year approved a bill that would expand eligibility in the program to 300 percent of the poverty level with higher premiums than have been charged in the past. The expansion requires federal approval, and court documents said the state would have to comply with the new guidelines to get approval.
WRANGLING CONTINUES OVER ABORTION ‘STATEMENT’
NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
JIM SAUNDERS
Tangling over issues such as costs of potential lawsuits and implications for the Medicaid program, a state panel Monday continued debating the financial effects of a proposed constitutional amendment about abortion rights.
The panel scheduled another meeting July 15 as it tries to agree on a “financial impact statement,” which will appear on the ballot with the proposed constitutional amendment.
Financial impact statements usually draw little attention, but an initial statement approved last year for the abortion amendment led to a still-unresolved court fight. The four-member panel, known as the Financial Impact Estimating Conference, is trying to draw up a revised statement but sometimes found itself deadlocked 2-2 on Monday.
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ representative on the panel, Chris Spencer, has pushed to consider issues such as costs of lawsuits that could result if voters pass the amendment in November. Spencer contends that numerous issues would wind up in litigation and that the amendment could spawn a legal battle about whether taxpayers should fund abortions through the Medicaid program — something that is now forbidden.
“Of the question, is this a constitutional right and does Medicaid have to cover it, that’s a big piece of the broader litigation conversation that the result of it could be significant for the state,” Spencer, who was DeSantis’ longtime budget chief before being recently appointed as executive director of the State Board of Administration.
But panel member Amy Baker, coordinator of the Legislature’s Office of Economic & Demographic Research, raised concerns about directly tying the amendment with Medicaid. She said the Legislature or courts would have to decide whether the Medicaid program would pay for abortions.
“I am having a hard time reaching a probable outcome of this conference … that Medicaid is going to have to include abortion, because it’s so many steps removed from where we are, from where we start,” Baker said. Monday’s meeting and a similar meeting last week reflected broader political arguments surrounding the proposed amendment, which, in part, says no “law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”
DeSantis and other state Republican leaders are fighting the measure, which
JUDGE BLOCKS FEDERAL GENDER IDENTITY RULE
JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
A federal judge Wednesday blocked a new Biden administration health-care rule that would clash with Florida’s attempts to restrict treatments such as hormone therapy and puberty blockers for transgender people.
Tampa-based U.S. District Judge William Jung issued a 50-page decision granting a preliminary injunction to prevent the rule from taking effect in Florida. He wrote that Florida has “shown that it faces an imminent injury,” with plaintiffs including the state Agency for Health Care Administration, which runs the Medicaid program, and the state Department of Management Services, which manages the state-employee health insurance program.
“The plaintiff agencies and the healthcare providers they regulate must either clearly violate Florida law, or clearly violate the new rule,” Jung wrote.
The rule, which was scheduled to take effect Friday, is designed to help carry out a federal law that prevents discrimination in health-care programs that receive federal money. The law prevents discrimination based on “sex,” and the rule would apply that to include discrimination based on gender identity.
The state filed the lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on May 6, shortly after the rule was finalized.
Meanwhile, a Mississippi federal judge on Wednesday also issued a preliminary injunction against the rule in a lawsuit filed by Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia. That injunction is nationwide, while Jung’s decision was limited to Florida.
The rule and the legal battles have come after Florida and other Republican-controlled states in recent years have made controversial decisions to prevent or restrict treatments for transgender people diagnosed with gender dysphoria. That has included barring Medicaid coverage for treatments such as hormone therapy and puberty blockers and preventing the treatments for minors.
the lawsuit is “premised on several misapprehensions” about the rule and said the preliminary-injunction motion should be rejected.
The brief said, for example, the rule “does not set a standard of care or require the provision of any particular service. Nothing in the rule overrides a clinician’s medical judgment as to whether a service is medically necessary or appropriate for any patient.”
But Jung wrote, for example, that the rule would require the Department of Management Services to “alter its policy against reimbursing managed care plan members for sex-change treatments.”
“This is not possible because DMS (the department) cannot amend its self-funded insurance plan without permission from the Florida Legislature, which is not in session and which has previously barred payment of tax dollars for gender transition treatment,” Jung wrote. “DMS will clearly suffer irreparable harm if the rule is not stayed.”
Jung also cited rulings by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in cases about gender identity, including a 2022 decision that upheld a St. Johns County School Board policy that prevented a transgender male student from using boys’ bathrooms at a high school. The Atlanta-based appeals court hears cases from Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
The appeals court said the bathroom policy did not violate Title IX, a federal law that prevents discrimination based on sex in education programs. The new healthcare rule is linked to an interpretation of sex discrimination under Title IX, Jung wrote.
“The final rule is stillborn and a nullity if Title IX does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of ‘gender identity,’” Jung wrote. “The Eleventh Circuit has spoken on this point, clearly: Title IX does not address discrimination on the basis of gender identity. … Frankly, this ends the issue — the new rule appears to be a dead letter in the Eleventh Circuit.”
will appear on the ballot as Amendment 4. Mirroring arguments made by Spencer, groups opposing the proposed amendment have focused during the panel’s meetings on potential litigation costs and the possibility of Medicaid-funded abortions.
“The impact on the state budget could be enormous,” said Sara Johnson of the antiamendment group Vote No on 4.
But Michelle Morton, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida speaking on behalf of amendment supporters, said potential litigation costs are “too speculative” to be considered. She also urged the panel to stick with an analysis last year that said passage of the amendment would lead to savings in such things as education and criminal-justice costs.
“We ask again that you adhere to the FIEC’s (the Financial Impact Estimating Conference’s) original finding that Amendment 4 will have a probable cost savings to the state,” Morton told the panel. “We ask that you don’t include costs rooted in speculation on future litigation or long-term economic impacts. And lastly, we ask that your financial impact statement be clear about its purpose and be grounded in fact, not ideology.”
Financial impact statements appear with ballot initiatives to provide estimated effects of the measures on government revenues and the state budget. The panel released an initial statement for the abortion proposal in November 2023.
But on April 1, the Florida Supreme Court issued a ruling that allowed a six-week abortion limit to take effect. DeSantis and lawmakers approved the six-week limit in 2023, but it was hung up in court for nearly a year..
Floridians Protecting Freedom, a political committee leading efforts to pass the amendment, filed a lawsuit in April arguing that the November financial-impact statement needed to be revised because it was outdated after the Supreme Court ruling. Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper agreed with the committee, but the state appealed to the 1st District Court of Appeal, where the case is pending.
Amid the case, Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, and House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, directed the Financial Impact Estimating Conference to begin meeting again to revise the statement.
During Monday’s meeting, Spencer was often aligned with economist Rachel Greszler, who represented the House, while Baker was often aligned with economist Azhar Khan, who represented the Senate.
Florida has contended in its lawsuit that the rule improperly seeks to override restrictions on the treatments and would threaten lost money for the state and managed-care plans that help operate state health-care programs.
But in a brief filed last month, U.S. Department of Justice attorneys argued that
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody also has joined Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina in challenging a new Biden administration rule on sex-based discrimination in education programs. That lawsuit alleges, in part, that the Biden administration has overstepped its legal authority in extending regulations to apply to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
An Alabama federal judge held a hearing Monday in the education case but had not issued a ruling as of Wednesday evening on the states’ request for a preliminary injunction, according to an online docket.
QUICK DECISION EYED IN SAUNDERS FIGHT
JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
With the November election less than four months away, a Miami-Dade County circuit judge plans to move quickly in an attempt by Democratic state House candidate Joe Saunders to prevent his aunt — running as Moe Saunders — from running for the seat.
Judge Robert T. Watson on Tuesday issued an order scheduling a final hearing Aug. 1 and said he is “mindful of the August 20, 2024, target date for final resolution (including any appeal) of the issues in this matter.” Primary elections will be held Aug. 20, setting the stage for finalizing the Nov. 5 general-election ballot.
Joe Saunders, a former lawmaker who is seeking to unseat Rep. Fabian Basabe, R-Miami Beach, in Miami-Dade’s House District 106, filed the lawsuit June 25 after his aunt, Maureen Saunders Scott, qualified to run for the seat without party affiliation.
The aunt, a resident of St. Johns County, roughly 300 miles from the district, would appear on the ballot as Moe Saunders.
The lawsuit seeks to bar Scott from the ballot, alleging she improperly qualified to run as Moe Saunders to deceive voters and “siphon votes” from Joe Saunders. The lawsuit seeks to force elections officials to block her from the ballot.
“Contrary to defendant Scott’s sworn statements (in candidate filings) to the Department of State, she is not generally known by the nickname ‘Moe Saunders.’” the lawsuit said. “Defendant is known to friends and relatives as Mo, without an ‘e,’ a common shorthand for the name Maureen. In fact, she is known by the name Mo Scott, not ‘Mo Saunders’ – and definitely not ‘Moe Saunders.’”
In his order Tuesday, Watson identified the defendant as Maureen Saunders Scott but noted the name issue is unresolved.
“The court uses throughout this order the name of this defendant as listed in the complaint, which is not an indication of any determination of how her name should be listed on the ballot, if at all,” Watson wrote.
Scott faces a July 18 deadline for filing a response to the lawsuit, while Secretary of State Cord Byrd and Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Christina White, who are also defendants, would file responses by July 25.
Trying to cut into a Republican supermajority in the House, Democrats have considered District 106 as a possible seat they can flip. Joe Saunders had raised nearly $177,000 for his campaign account as of June 28, while the separate Friends of Joe Saunders political committee had raised almost $114,000, finance reports show.
Basabe, who was first elected in 2022, had raised $31,424 for his campaign account but also had loaned $250,000 to his campaign. A Basabe-chaired political committee, known as Common Sense for Florida, had about $22,000 in cash on hand as of Friday, a finance report shows.
The numbers for the candidates and their committees also do not reflect money that parties or other committees might plow into the campaign.
Scott contributed $1,800 to her account in June but has not reported additional financial activity, according to information posted on the state Division of Elections website. Also running for the seat is Republican Melinda Almonte, who had raised $1,050 as of June 28 and loaned $23,200 to her campaign.
Scott does not appear to have an online campaign presence, but The Miami Herald reported last month that she has made public claims about Joe Saunders’ character.
