Need Info On State Candidates?

Here is a look at the major candidates for governor and U.S. Senate on the ballot today in Florida:

Charlie Crist, who is running with no part affiliation, is the 44th governor of the state of Florida. Crist, a lawyer, was first elected governor in 2006 and served previously as a state Senator, Education Secretary and Attorney General. He left the Republican Party after polls showed him badly trailing former House Speaker Marco Rubio. .. Jeff Greene, a Democrat, is a wealthy property investor who entered the race for U.S. Senate on the final day of qualifying. Greene, who opponents said made his money investing in mortgages on foreclosed homes, has already begun airing television ads and said he is willing to spend his own money to get elected. He has never held elected office. .. Kendrick Meek, a Democrat, is the congressman from the 17th district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Prior to being elected to Congress in 2000, Meek served in the Florida House and the state Senate. Meek sits on the U.S. House’s powerful Ways and Means Committee and its Armed Services Committee. .. Marco Rubio, a Republican, served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives from 2006 to 2008. Rubio, who is also a former West Miami City Commissioner, served in the House from 2000. ..

Bill McCollum, a Republican, is the 36th Attorney General of Florida. McCollum, a lawyer, served in the U.S. House from 1981 to 2001 prior to being elected Attorney General in 2006. As Attorney General, McCollum is a member of the state Cabinet. Alex Sink, a Democrat, is Florida’s second Chief Financial Officer. Sink is in charge of the state’s Department of Financial Services. She became the highest ranking Democrat with her election in 2006 and is Florida’s first female CFO. She also sits on the state Cabinet. Rick Scott, a Republican, is the former chief executive of Columbia/HCA Health Care. Scott, who bankrolled the Conservatives for Patients’ Right campaign against the recently approved federal health care law, entered the gubernatorial race late and pledged to spend his own money to win the race.  He has never held elected office.

Final Preps: Molino’s Dollar General Nears Opening

Final preparations were underway Saturday at the new Dollar General Store on Highway 29 in Molino. Employees said the store could have a quiet “soft opening” in the next few days. A grand opening is planned in the coming weeks, but no date has been announced.

The store was constructed, stocked and ready for opening in less than three months — the building permit was issued on May 25.

Molino’s Dollar General is just over 12,000 square feet; the company’s average store is about 7,000 square feet.

The store will offer a full selection of  brand name and private label products, including food, home decor, household items, basic clothing, seasonal items and more, according to company officials.
