Still think we finish off today in the lower 80s. Wind up late tomorrow front comes through tomorrow night and florida winter for sunday into monday. Well talk all about that in a few minutes. All right sounds good. Thank you, dave. 9 0 one. Were still watching slow downs on northbound 75 in hillsborough. Saw fire trucks blocking up a right lane in this area. Camera near tampa executive airport. Between i4 and fowler. They just cleared out a few moments ago. But still looks pretty slow in the area. Seeing delays of about 20 minutes or so selman expressway and the 56 exit. State root 56. Plan accordingly good news here skyway bridge which has been quite horrendous following a crash northbound delays a whole lot better sitting ten minutes right now over the bridge. Now lanes are new numbers today show why going to college is so important. Even for people who are doing Career Training programs. U. S. Department of education released a report late yesterday. In it they found students that graduated from not for Profit School made on average, 9,000 more than students who did Career Training programs at for Profit Schools. The for Profit Schools like corinthian schools that were forced to close all offer what the department of education says effort to hold vocational programs accountable. Schools are required to give the government stats about graduates. Feds want to make sure those former students make enough money after school to pay off their student loans. This is caused the gainful employment regulation. And the feds realize that not everyone is geared toward a traditional 4 year college and communities still need electrician and plumber and welders Education Department says this report gives people the tools they need to decide where they want their future education it is. Developing story out interwinter haven this morning investigating what appears to be a murder a holmed very least a very strange death. Shayla is there with more on this. Are we learning any more, shayla . Yes, good morning to you, russell. A few short moments ago i had a chance to speak with the aunt of Jimmy Lee Rogers jury. Investigation rather happening here in the alley way between avenue i and avenue j in winter haven. The family members are not yet ready to go on camera. But we did find out that rogers is said to be the father of an 8yearold son. 8yearold son who is trying to make sense of the events unfolding here. According to the a winter haven police, this all started around 1 30 in the morning when they received a call to the area in question. When those officers learned they found out that there was a gentleman inside of a vehicle behind an apartment unit. And eventually, medics transported him to the hospital. But he did not survive his injuries. Again, roger was identified as the person in the vehicle and officers said he appeared to have suffered a gunshot. We spoke with a woman inside the apartment where that vehicle came to a rest. Bang, bang, bang, three, or five shots and car hits the house and you can hear this is block. You could feel it just shaking. And we are told at this point the investigation is continuing. Law enforcement plan now that were into the daylight hours, to check out some of the businesses nearby to see if they could find any clues any evidence. Anything to help Early Morning hours. So this is certainly an ongoing investigation. A situation thats still unfolding weep keep you posted a new information becomes available. Back to you guys in the studio. So shayla, before i let you go, so from what i just heard from sound you had there that woman actually heard the gunshots . Yes. Thats what we are finding out. And earlier today we know the she reported a vehicle rolling to the back of her unit. But it was once officers arrived and spoke to witnesses is when they heard about gunshots and once they spoke with the woman, again, thats when she referenced theed gunshots herself. So this is something likely i couldnt imagine what that experience must have been like hearing that outside of her home. So well continue to keep you posted though. Okay. All right. Shayla. As new information is available. All right shayla, thanks. Thank and president elect donald trump is making waves in the business community. The asian review is reporting this morning that apple has asked several iphone manufacturers to look moving production to the u. S. Right now the iphone is built in asia. President elect donald trump has said he ihed like to have American Companies bring back their manufacturing. Critics plan say cost iphone would more than double if apple brought it back state side. Apple declining to comment on story but said the employ jobs and innovation. Ford scrapped plans to move production of one of its vehicle manufacturing plants from kentucky to mexico. President elect donald trump tweeted the news saying ford executive chairman phoned him with the decision. Ford planned to move the production of the lincoln mks to mexico by 2019 so that could increase production of the ford escape in kentucky. But that has since changed. Some are criticizing the president elect donald trump for taking credit for that decision though since ford claims it to begin with. Ford did say, we are encouraged that president elect trump and new congress will pursue policies that will improve u. S. Competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of the vehicle here in the u. S. And this just in, a little bit ago, president elect donald trump has offered attorney general cabinet position to his long time supporter senator jeff sessions. Sessions has alabamas attorney general.

And thats mitt romney. Could this be the next secretary of state former gop president ial candidate mitt president elect donald trump tomorrow. The trump team wont say much else. I anticipate you know, meeting of the minds and of two equal partners in terms of those who love their country and want to make sure we have a peaceful and democratic transition into next administration consider was already been said between them. Think of Donald Trumps personal qualities. The bullying, the greed. The showing off. Theatrics. I dont think romney he thinks hes hot stuff i hate people that think they are hot stuff and they are nothing. I think being being romney whether he gives him job or not quite signal. That was one bitterest attacks candidate of ever delivered by romney. But in an election can change radar change everything. Trump no doubt hoping to broaden his support among republicans. Earlier in week he met with former primary rival texas senator ted cruz. Apparently turning to registered democrat for the influential of National Security advisor associate Associated Press report general Michael Flynn top trump supporter picked for that job. He serve ad Defense Intelligence agency chief under president obama before becoming a vocal administration critic. And back to mitt romney for moment even thoughing there a lot speculation about him possibly becoming secretary of state there are also a lot of other candidates in the mix for in washington, doug luzader, fox news.

Sizes of recount according to at Elections Office is unprecedented. There are more than 608,000 ballots each consisting of two sheets of paper. That basically means two things, either you separate those papers and then put them inside the scanner or you put all 1. 2 million sheets through that scanner obviously that will take a long period of time. Meeting schedule at 3 oclock this afternoon and both candidates are expected to meet here and i believe fingers crossed we could have a decision by today if not, likely through the weekend.
