'I hate that bill,' governor-elect Byron Donalds told Board of Governors

From having up-front views on a controversial college sports bill to pushing for the economic mobility of students, Florida governor-elect Byron Donalds is making it clear where he stands on issues affecting the state's higher education landscape. He delivered a keynote address at the Florida Board of Governors' Trustee Summit Nov. 12 on Florida International University's campus in Miami, where he focused on what he thinks are the responsibilities of the State University System (SUS). But what he appeared to be most candid about during his remarks were his views on the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA) . In a question-and-answer segment of his address, someone asked about his thoughts on how universities should be handling PCSA, which is a federal bill passed by the U.S. Senate that creates a single nationwide rulebook for college athletics. The bill has moved to the House. Speaking frankly, Donalds said, "I hate that bill." "I don't like it, I'm not a fan of it," Donalds said, adding that he believes it puts Florida at a disadvantage. "I think athletes deserve to be compensated for the amount of work that they do." While he said he's made his position on the bill known to

Florida Bar complaint coming against ex-Bar president, a Coral Gables attorney

The Florida Bar’s 11th Judicial Circuit Grievance Committee has found probable cause for a Bar complaint that accuses Coral Gables attorney and former Florida Bar president Roland Sanchez-Medina of 17 professional conduct violations. A formal Bar complaint should be filed with the state Supreme Court against Sanchez-Medina by Dec. 22, the notice of probable cause said. The 10-member committee, three of whom are not attorneys, found probable cause to believe that Sanchez-Medina committed 10 kinds of trust account rules violations, four kinds of conflict of interest rules violations, two kinds of general misconduct and a failure in exercising independent professional judgment. “As a practicing attorney for 34 years, a member of The Florida Bar’s Board of Governors for 10 years, and a former Bar president (2024-25), I have devoted substantial time and effort to serving our profession and promoting public confidence in our legal system,” Sanchez-Medina said in an email to the Miami Herald. “I take this matter seriously and respect The Florida Bar’s responsibility to investigate concerns about professional conduct. “I also believe it is important to reserve judgment until the disciplinary process has run its course, and I respectfully ask others to do the same.” How this is

Miami-Dade's elections department paid for a cartoon mascot. It's the supervisor

Alina Garcia, Miami-Dade’s elections supervisor , now has a cartoon avatar who stars in a tax-funded coloring book about democracy and, this fall, looked out from lapel pins that were distributed to poll workers. Like Garcia, “Super Ali” has long blonde hair, but Super Ali has a red cape and a star-spangled ballot box for a body. That cartoon ballot box has a seal with Garcia’s name on it. “These are great tools for engagement with our youngest citizens, to create a voting culture,” Elections spokesperson Juan Mendieta said of the Super Ali swag the Elections Department is funding. In August, the Elections Department paid $1,160 for 1,000 of the Super Ali pins. The next month, the department paid $1,560 for 1,500 “Guardians of Democracy” coloring books, which have Garcia’s name and Super Ali on the cover. Mendieta provided invoices for the purchases at the Miami Herald’s request this week. Inside the coloring book, there are voters, candidates and ballot boxes to color, plus a crossword and word search that both have “Alina Garcia” as clues. Garcia, a Republican, is Miami-Dade’s first elected supervisor of elections — a post that used to be a department head under the county’s mayor.
