Romney IS at Metro Park tonight, not the arena
Florida Politics
Yes, that was incorrect.
An ad on the bottom of Page A-1 in today's Times-Union asked you to "join Mitt Romney and the Republican team for a victory rally at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville" ... but they won't.
It's at Metropolitan Park.
The ad was sent to the newspaper before the location was changed from the arena to Metro Park, and the error slipped through many cracks.
So don't go to the arena.

JEA dropping $2 fee for paying bill in person
Florida Politics
JEA is canceling a $2 fee it had charged customers to pay bills in person at its offices.
The change will take effect Thursday, said Gerri Boyce, a utility spokeswoman.
The fee was created in 2009 to partly cover costs of operating the centers where people made payments. JEA estimates its cost for each in-person payment is $5.15.
But the extra charge was unpopular and became less necessary as customers moved to online payments or payments at Winn-Dixie branches or convenience stores, where the fees are not collected.

Florida Politics
News Service of Florida
A South Florida appeals court Wednesday reversed itself and rejected a $36.76 million judgment against tobacco company Philip Morris USA in a case filed by a longtime smoker who became ill.
The 4th District Court of Appeal upheld a Broward County jury's determination that Philip Morris was liable, but it ordered that the case be sent back for a new trial on compensatory and punitive damages. The jury initially awarded $300 million, including $244 million in punitive damages, to Lucinda Naugle.
