Floridians should always be vigilant when it comes to legislation proffered in the course of any policy and rule-making session. One such bill is HB 1007 sponsored by Rep. Don Brown, R-DeFuniak Springs. This bill grants authority for the State to sell a specialty license plate in honor of Florida's confederate heritage.

It's not likely the Republican Party wants to deal with the negative publicity this will generate but let's not sleep on this. Another major disappointment is that Gov. Crist has already refused to weigh in on this issue until he sees where it goes.

Hmmm…OK, stay tuned.
