Marshall Goodman, 64, recently promised government officials that he can “spark a revitalization” of private enterprise in rural Central Florida. In order to do that, he told officials that he needs taxpayers to finance his $40 million plan to build and operate five 20,000 square-foot business incubators where fledgling companies can pay a fee for office space and management training in small towns in Polk County. It's similar to a claim he made in Collier County a few years ago.

Haines City launches graveyard GPS helps find loved oneâs final resting place
Ken Suarez reports
HAINES CITY, Fla. - GPS is not just used for driving anymore in Haines City, which recently started using it in cemeteries to help families locate the right gravesite. We wanted a really simple format where they could come and locate their loved one, Haines City Mayor Morris West told FOX 13.
Those in search of a grave can put their phone up to a QR code, punch in a name, and the system takes them to the right spot. This is good for anyone who is not aware of where their loved one is buried, explained City Clerk Erica Anderson.
