I’m very lucky to have in my group and be able to read from you. your 4th and 5th example of the local opportunities was great. Both are some very serious issues that need to be solved as soon as possible. Imagine our future kids not being able to receive the same education because of shortage in teachers. Also, think about a case in which the phone calls are not working and the only option to communicate with Rick Scott is through emails. That will be very annoying.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading about your topics because there was a lot I hadn't heard of. I was pretty surprised to hear about the decline in teachers, but at the same time I wasn't. It is a shame how little teachers make and I am sure that has something to do with the decline.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to read some of these articles because there was a few that I have never read about before. I am actually from Palm Beach County and I was unaware about 3 restaurants shutting down due to not meeting health requirements and having a lot of violations. These articles that you research present many problems that definitely need to be solved.
ReplyDeleteI am from Palm Beach County so it always is upsetting seeing that restaurants are being shut down for health code violations. This could have been a restaurant that I have been to before and I would have never known. The Dubois parking fees were a complete shock as well, that place has been free for as long as I can remember
ReplyDeleteI thought you had some great articles to read about. They were all new stories for me to read about. It was very different on how to go about contacting Rick Scott by voicemail. I always thought email was the best way to get in contact with people like that! It also took me by surprise that anyone would drive their Ferrari off a dock and submerge it.
