Ballot initiatives need approval from 60% of voters
New law limits contributions to ballot initiatives July 1, 2021 11:32 AM By Jennifer Kay (Updates with ruling in lawsuit.)
Florida voters may have thought they had the last word when they approved ballot initiatives legalizing medical marijuana, restoring voting rights to former felons, and raising the minimum wage.

FBI failed to submit report on domestic terrorism due in June
Congress scrapped new requirement in latest defense bill January 12, 2021 4:01 AM By Roxana Tiron
Days before a mob of President Donald Trumpâs supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Congress scrapped a requirement in the annual defense policy bill for a domestic terrorist threat assessment that could have helped shed light on the deadly incident.
Lawmakers with oversight of national security agreed that a new report on domestic terrorism wasnât necessary because the previous annual defense law already required such an assessment. Thereâs only one problem: The FBI has failed to submit the report, which was due in June, leaving lawmakers without intelligence about mounting threats.
