Florida allocated more money than ever for mental health care this year, which is prudent. More than 20% of U.S. adults live with a mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, and an estimated 633,000 Florida adults with mental illness and 116,000 youth with depression have unmet treatment needs, according to the Florida Policy Institute.

Lack of affordability creates much of the unmet need. Non-recurring funds have been allocated to providers, but the state should make it recurring, so it’s not in jeopardy of non-renewal.

Palestine demonstrations are not antisemitic

There is a growing hysteria in the media labeling pro-Palestinian demonstrations as “antisemitism.” The assumption is that the demonstrations are motivated by racial or religious prejudice.

The attack by Hamas was obviously reprehensible, particularly the use of low technology rockets that randomly hit civilian targets. In retaliation for the 1,400 Israelis killed by Hamas, the Israeli government has killed over 11,000 Palestinians. In the past few days Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated the end game is occupation of Gaza “for an indefinite period of time,”

In my view, the media has failed to recognize that the demonstrations are not antisemitic but, a condemnation of the current Israeli government. Palestine was divided to create a Jewish homeland and continue the existing Palestinian homeland. The two-state solution was rejected by the Middle East as a whole. The one-state solution was never an option. Demographics and birth rates would eliminate a democratic secular state in one generation.

The New York Times and other media have recently claimed that 76% of the Israeli citizens do not support the current government. The demonstrations against the judicial reforms, demonstrations against expansion of the war and Israeli citizens trying to protect Palestinian homes in the West Bank show a massive disconnect between the Israeli government and its people. As I see it, the protests are anti-Israeli government and not “antisemitism”.

Manchin’s machinations

Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has performed a balancing act with Republicans and Democrats, but his latest act of not seeking reelection might just help the Republicans flip the Senate. What he’s most likely doing is setting up a fight with President Joe Biden. I think many think that if Biden, for whatever reason, doesn’t run for re-election, they want to be in a position to  run. Not that there’s anything wrong with that decision, but just be honest, Senator. It’s a good way to be when running for president.

At least seven times in recent months, Donald Trump said his 2024 opponent for president is not Joe Biden, it’s Barack Obama, according to Forbes magazine. Earlier this week, he said at a campaign rally that his opponents and non-supporters in the current administration are “vermin.” This is serious, game-changing sad behavior. By calling non-supporters “vermin,” Trump’s also forgotten, or perhaps doesn’t know, he now parrots Hitler and Mussolini, who used “vermin” and other derogatory terms to de-humanize their opponents and encourage violence against them.

With Trump facing the loss of his license to do business in New York, his financial fortune, and the real possibility he could be incarcerated for 93 felonies, there’s no sane justification to nominate him for president or even worse, vote for him. Republicans need to face reality and let Trump go quietly, before he makes a fool of himself and the Republican Party.

Jimbo Fisher’s big reward for getting fired

Ever wondered why your tuition is so high for college? Take a look at Texas A&M University. They fired their football coach, Jimbo Fisher, on Sunday.  But he will still receive $75 million as part of his contract buyout. Don’t you wish after the high cost of college and getting a job, if you got fired, you could get a fraction of that amount? Who do you think pays for that astronomical amount?

It’s a travesty, isn’t it?

Vote to change narrative on guns

How do you change a politician’s mind on guns?

When a gunman slaughtered 18 innocent civilians and wounded more residents in his home district in Maine, Rep. Jared Golden said he regretted past opposition to an assault-weapons ban. He should be ashamed of himself, as a Democrat. But at least he finally did the right thing.

We live in a democratic republic where about half of our electorate doesn’t even vote. And around half of the “other half” doesn’t appear to have enough sense to come in out of a rainstorm.

How else does one explain that the leading candidate in the Republican party appears to gain more support with each additional indictment brought against him?  I will take Joe Biden any day over his rival.  Yes, he has lost a step with age, and yes, he may be a little unsteady on his feet, but at least he will not sell the country out to the highest bidder, and lie, cheat, and steal everything that is not nailed down.

Our Orange County School Board is working to mitigate the attack on education by Ron DeSantis’ new laws. These laws are racist, homophobic and sexist. The laws are so vague that applying them to our schools is difficult. One Friday night, I heard this School Board’s commitment to do the best they could NOT to let the laws hurt our children.

We face laws that deny the existence of LGBTQIA+ students and demonize trans children. There is no clarity on what the laws allow — for example, there’s no clarity on using a parent-requested name or on pronoun use. Nearly all the Board members will move to define what a school and teacher can use, since guidance from the state is absent.

A small group is intent on extensive book banning. Books teach leadership, empathy, different viewpoints, critical thinking and more. Removing books with LGBTQIA+, true African American history, and racism content hurts our children and their prospects. They need to read a variety of viewpoints and be able to hear their own voice in what they read. The Board made clear they were overseeing book bans.

The Board can’t recommend guidelines that have teachers break laws. The Board will provide guidelines that support students while ensuring that teachers don’t lose their teaching certificates. Board members can’t risk being removed because their replacements would be DeSantis appointees, making the situation worse for our schools.

University board muzzling dissenters

Brian Lamb, chair of the Florida Board of Governors, apparently thinks it is not worth his time to hear from people influenced by the board’s decisions. On Thursday, it happened when the board was considering diversity and equity policies (“Crowd chants ‘Let us speak!’” Nov. 10). What a curious position for someone leading a state body.

While citizens made time on a weekday afternoon to voice their concerns about DEI policies, Lamb cut them off at 15 minutes. Other public bodies have been known to hold public comments into the wee hours.

As a stakeholder in our public university system — as a taxpayer and parent of a state university student — I am appalled by the arrogance. Lamb said 15 minutes was customary, which is not the same thing as compulsory. Vote as you see fit, but please let the people speak their minds.

Why limit school testing?

So, now that the Florida GOP has greatly expanded the school vouchers system, they want to eliminate the proficiency testing for third-grade retention and high school graduation tests — what a crock! It’s hard to believe that these are not related.

Your Oct. 29 editorial on Orlando Airport’s Terminal C was very good  Thanks for referencing the need for moving sidewalks. What a big mistake, not thinking of the vast age of travelers from very young to quite old.

Do a physical walk with carry-on luggage on wheels, heavy backpacks or stroller or  or just dragging children and elderly travelers from the farthest international gates through to immigration and then on to baggage claim.

You think the walk from the end of the concourse for domestic flights is long? You haven’t experienced a challenge. It is truly a struggle to navigate the long steep ramps that are carpeted! The carpet uphill makes very difficult to “roll” a suitcase, particularly for older adults. However, if the ramps weren’t carpeted, a loose piece of luggage or stroller on wheels could take off back where you came from.

Please start your trek from the farthest gate for overseas airlines. Also, go in the evening when the overseas flights are arriving to observe others navigating the “walk.”

Insurance insanity in Florida

News item: State Sen. Joe Gruters of Sarasota pitched his colleagues to invest in his property insurance company, promising a 165% return over five years.

Why does this not insult every Floridian struggling with the cost of homeowners’ insurance?

What does this tell you about inflated premiums? Residents are forced to switch to private insurers if they are “only” 20% higher than what they are paying with Citizens. What a joke! Wait until renewal time.

Scott Maxwell quoted the Insurance Information Institute that the average premium in Florida is now $6,000, an increase of 102% in three years. The Florida insurance commissioner said some companies want rate hikes of 300% to 500% (“After insurance ‘reform,’ Floridians still face high bills,” Oct. 27).

Florida’s insurance “reform” so far is little more than a $3 billion handout to the insurance industry with little or no help to homeowners. The Miami Herald reports that 13% of Florida homeowners are “going bare,” with no insurance — double the national average.

To me, it makes sense to expand Citizens so it becomes Medicare for property insurance. Think about large employers: The cost of their medical insurance is reduced by volume of premiums collected. Lawmakers should make this a serious consideration, not cater to a select few looking for a 165% return.

Total transparency and lower rates is better than having homeowners forfeit insurance coverage completely, just to keep up with other rising costs for living in the great state of Florida.

Reparations of land seem impossible

With all the news regarding land and territory in the Middle East, I was wondering about the reparations of land back to their original settlers.

Why not? Probably impossible from a time and distance standpoint. If Israel were to give back the country to Palestinians, then they would be required to then give to the Romans, who next would let it go to the Byzantines, who then let Kish have it, then Amorites were next in line, but relinquish it then to the Babylonians. You see the problem. Shall my state of Florida go back to the Seminoles since it has only been a few hundred years?

For GOP, problems are many, solutions are few

The Republicans remind me of a song Groucho sings in the Marx Brothers movie “Horse Feathers”: “Whatever it is, I’m against it.” They’re against inflation and they’re against crime. Yet they have never offered a single solution to either. They do have a solution for gun violence: everybody should arm themselves.

In Friday’s article, “Florida university board mulls DEI funding ban,” I find it ironic that the photo of the Florida state university system Board of Governors shows five men, one of whom is a minority. Where are the females, especially in light of the following, taken from a recent Georgetown University study: “According to the U.S. Department of Education, women made up 59.5% of all U.S. college students in spring 2021, a record high  Moreover, more women completed their degrees than men: 65% of women who enrolled at a U.S. four-year university in 2012 had graduated by 2018, compared with 59% of their male counterparts.”

Steel construction could help insurance rates

Insurance rates are a nasty problem.

Reports from credible sources will show something harrowing: homeowners insurance rates are now alarmingly becoming higher than mortgage payments in some cases.

You don’t need a doctorate in Economics to understand that this is troubling news, to say the least. But there’s a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from an Ivy League school who is making a compelling assertion: There’s steel now that can repel winds at well over 200 mph. Seems like a no-brainer with construction going forward, right?

Alas, the problem: Over 90% of residential construction in Florida is wood-based. That means hurricanes, fire, and termites impose.

What if the marketplace took a turn with innovation? What would happen to your insurance rates when your home is built with steel as the main material?

Moreover, this new steel will naturally be fireproof. Termites won’t be happy. And your home’s resale value ascends.

The challenge is that the wood industry’s ecosystem — that is, all the people who depend on the industry – is enormous.

I’ll invoke one of my favorite quotes of all time. “It’s hard to change a person’s mind, if his/her income depends on it not being changed.”

Let’s go, Florida. Our children need not be slammed by skyrocketing insurance rates. And we can build back Florida strong, with that last hurricane being a starting gun.

A Trump victory would be dangerous

News articles show that Donald Trump now leads President Biden in polling in five key swing states, suggesting that Trump will win the 2024 election. This is dangerous.

Many undecided voters will be influenced by these early polls, with the desire to be on the winning side. I am amazed that the majority of the Republican Party believe he is the best candidate.

Have we not forgotten that Trump is the only president in U.S. history to refuse to acknowledge that he lost, despite all evidence? Have we forgotten that his incendiary rhetoric led to the Capitol riot, resulting in deaths? Do people really support a candidate whose shady business practices led to a finding of long-time fraud in a civil lawsuit? Have we forgotten the verdict that he sexually abused a woman?

Do we not remember that Trump paid settlements where his actions were unsavory, such as the Trump University case? On top of all that, he faces four pending criminal cases.

In 2020, I thought that Trump’s business success qualified him to be a great president. I was sadly mistaken and am remorseful. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

It is totally outrageous that taxpayers have had to absorb $100 million in deficits over the last four years to operate our white elephant of a convention center that benefits nobody other than a few hotels and restaurants in the I-Drive area (Scott Maxwell: “Convention center lost $100M; Orange wants to expand again”). It is even more outrageous that Orange County wants to invest (i.e., throw away) another $560 million on this worthless property.

Sell it. There is no reason that Orange County needs to own a convention center. It is not a necessary governmental function. If the local hotels want it, they can buy and operate it. At least Orange County will be able to collect property taxes on it. There are plenty of privately owned convention centers — the Sands and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, for example. Stop burdening the taxpayers with this albatross.

Indian Americans’ political role is growing

Americans of Indian descent are having a bigger influence on political issues in the United States. Members of this heterogeneous community have different views on social, economical and political topics that will determine their support depending on what the different political candidates present for their communities in their political platforms. It’s good to see that the power and influence of Indian Americans is on the rise. The first inhabitants of this great country deserve to have an important role in the diverse issues that affect us all as a nation.

A governor’s cynical ploy

So, our governor made a big show of sending war supplies to Israel. It was more of a cynical ploy, meant to impress his Jewish constituents in Florida, than anything truly meaningful.

Where was Ron DeSantis when neo-Nazis marched in Orlando, spreading vile division and hate? He totally distanced himself from them and issued very few words of criticism. Could it be because in his failing adventure in presidential politics, they were a constituency he did not wish to offend?

So the city of Orlando has finally decided, by purchasing the Pulse nightclub property, to pursue a way-too-long-in-coming memorial. But I believe Pulse should have been repaired and reopened as a nightclub with an appropriate, respectful and reverential memorial incorporated into the design. Is there a better way to honor the victims and to demonstrate our ongoing resistance to bigotry and hate? As Neil Young once said: “Keep on rockin’ in the free world!”

An open and functioning Pulse would be a living memorial dedicated to life, love and community. Consider: The World Trade Center was destroyed in an act of terrorism. It was rebuilt with an amazing memorial and museum on site. Why can’t Orlando do something similar?

Don’t trust polls in Electoral College system

Recently on The View, Whoopi Goldberg was trying to make the point that we should look at the polls with a grain of salt because they weren’t to be trusted in 2016 when Hillary Clinton was supposed to beat Donald Trump. News flash: She did beat him. She beat him in the popular vote. Hey, Whoopi: What did you think the national polls are supposed to be a measurement of?

How many other people out there are getting that wrong? Would people be less confused if we just eliminated the Electoral College altogether? Or, are we fine with just handing over the presidency to the candidate who came in second every once in a while?

The cease-fire resolution

The delegates serving in the U.N. today have not learned the history of the Middle East or are intentionally ignoring it. In 1947, the U.N. passed a resolution dividing Palestine into two nations, one for Arabs and one for Jews. The Jews set up their state in 1948 but the Arabs, supported by seven Arab nations, vowed to kick out the Jews and take all the land.

They did not succeed in 1948, nor did they in 1967 or in 1973, but they are still trying. By passing a cease-fire resolution now, the U.N. is coming to the aid of the very people who are still trying to wipe Israel off the map.

Herbert Goldsmith Pembroke Pines

A recent letter writer bemoaned the development of property at the LPGA International community in Daytona Beach that he believes won’t sell due to high interest rates and high inflation (“Are you better off? Then vote accordingly,” Nov. 3). The writer also cited low consumer confidence and high energy prices. The implication was clear that the Biden administration is to blame for these economic problems. As any first-year economics student can tell you, inflation results when consumer demand for goods and services exceeds the supply or availability of those goods and services. To combat inflation, the Federal Reserve, which sets monetary policy and makes related decisions autonomously and not subject to federal government approval, raises interest rates to slow spending by increasing the cost of borrowing, potentially reducing economic activity to slow inflation. That methodology has been used in the U.S. for decades in response to inflation.

Blaming the current administration, or any previous administration for that matter, for inflation and high interest rates is a specious argument designed to persuade voters to vote for the political party not currently in the White House. I am hopeful that most Americans are too smart to fall for that warped logic.

Palestine’s goals are clear

In the summer of 1968, after graduating from the University of Iowa, I headed for Kuwait and a job as an elementary teacher at the American School of Kuwait. I was informed that should I visit Israel and have their visa in my passport, I would not be allowed to enter Kuwait. The globe in my classroom had the country of Israel blacked out, as if it didn’t exist. In my view, the goal of Palestine, and all Arab nations, is the eradication of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. It always has been and it always will be.

Daylight saving time must have national standard

I agree with wanting to cancel daylight saving time, but it has to be done on a national level.

If more states adopt their own times, not knowing, if you call another state, what time it is there is a problem. Driving from state to state,  for truckers especially, becomes more difficult as they are restricted in the hours they can drive and that proof could be a problem crossing state lines. It’s hard enough with four time zones. Then there is national TV.

Let’s get rid of it on a national basis. For one thing, let’s see how really strong our representatives are.  Can they do it or can they only talk on TV and social media about it?

Florida senators must help resume military promotions

After 10 months of Sen. Tommy Tuberville holding up military promotions, we have an escalating inability to respond to national security threats as well as threats to our military bases overseas.

Training recruits and forming teams with new leaders takes months. Tuberville has never served in the military and his lack of knowledge of millitary readiness is apparent. Frankly, I am appalled that this has been allowed to continue in the Senate. I think he doesn’t care or, worse yet, is part of an agenda to weaken the military chain of command. For whose purpose?

Florida has two senators who can help to break the logjam of promotions by resuming block voting on promotions. As the reelection year approaches for Sen. Rick Scott, he needs to be thinking of the security of the country rather than who he has to appease in order to be reelected. As voters, we need to contact Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio to express our dismay and concern for the hundreds of military members and their families affected by this inaction.

Sarah Wolfe Winter Garden

As parents, we want to teach our children the ways of the world and introduce them to the levers of democracy. With Election Day on Tuesday, the timing is ideal.

There is no specific federal law that prohibits children from accompanying their parents or guardians into the voting booth, but restrictions regarding maximum ages and the number of children that can be in the voting booth can vary by jurisdiction. Many states and localities recognize the importance of involving children in the democratic process and may have provisions, like designated play areas, that allow children to accompany their parents or guardians while they vote.

Prepare your child for the importance of this day. Obviously, it will depend on their comprehension level, but it is important to give them context about how voting is part of a unifying democratic process that millions of people around the country are doing.

Sharing the importance of this day can have a long-lasting impact on your child. A recent study published by the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute for American Democracy, a nonprofit that promotes civic education and civil discourse, showed evidence of a trickle-down relationship in civic engagement, saying that most teenagers who voted in their first eligible presidential election had a mother who also voted. Not only is this an opportunity to make our voices heard, but also an opportunity to teach our children, who will be the next generation of leaders, how important it is for them to raise their voices and contribute to their civic duty and responsibility.

Thanks to the Sentinel for including a photograph of Rep. Maxwell Frost with the article “U.S. Rep. Frost votes against resolution condemning antisemitism on campuses” (Nov. 4).

Humans are causing climate change

A Nov. 2 letter to the editor asked the question, “Global warming? Who knows?” I would like to tell the letter-writer who knows. This from the nonpartisan Environmental Defense Fund — “Tens of thousands of scientists in more than 100 nations have amassed an overwhelming amount of evidence pointing to a clear conclusion: Humans are the main cause of climate change.”

We’re the ones who burn fossil fuels, produce livestock and clear trees, increasing the amount of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. And you know who else knows? The insurance companies — which are canceling policies and leaving the state.

Mass shootings have become as common as rainy days.

Bearing arms is our constitutional right, but there should be strings attached. Thorough background checks must be conducted before anyone can purchase a firearm. The owner of every weapon must be registered. Sales must be registered. Anyone with a history of mental instability should not be allowed to buy a gun.

Life is very different today than it was 300 years ago. Servicemen come home with PTSD and many do not seek treatment. It’s still as easy to obtain a firearm as it is to buy aspirin. After the Parkland shooting, the headlines screamed “Get the guns,” but nothing has changed.

Oh yes, America has changed. Too many Americans have weapons of mass destruction. Why is it still so easy to get them?

I am a 91-year-old great-grandmother who’s considering buying a firearm for my own protection.

I’m afraid to go to malls, theaters and other gathering places. My doors and windows are locked even though I live in a secure gated community.

The so-called “golden years” have become tarnished.

Trump sons’ denial reminiscent of Scott

Apparently, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s oversight and handling of financial statements mirror those of Florida Sen. Rick Scott.

Both Trump sons deny knowing or being involved with inflating the value of Trump properties, blaming others in the company.  During Scott’s leadership of Columbia/HCA in the 1990s, he denied knowing about the Medicare and Medicaid fraud being committed by the company that resulted in a $1.7 billion fine. Scott even blamed the Clinton White House for “exacting political revenge” for his opposition to HIlary Clinton’s health-care initiatives. Isn’t it amazing when fraud is exposed, how it always seems to be some conspiracy involving the White House?

In 2010 Scott ran TV ads and accepted responsibility, not blame, for the actions of Columbia/HCA despite pleading the Fifth Amendment 75 times during a 2000 deposition about the fraud. Scott has said, “I refuse to apologize for my success.”  Considering his success is based on massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the parallels to the Trump family are enlightening.

When Scott ran those ads, I thought he was either the worst business leader on record or he wasn’t telling the truth.  Turns out it qualified him to become Florida’s governor and a U.S. senator.  Maybe Eric and Don Jr. should move to Mar-a-Lago and run for office.  It worked for Rick Scott.

Will the Republican grift continue?

There is a bill that is being proposed in the Florida Senate, slated for review. It’s SB 230 and it needs to concern all Floridians. Sen. Tom Wright has hatched a plan to shield millionaires and billionaires from paying the sales tax on the sales or lease of private planes. Do you have any idea who buys private planes? They are most likely in Tom’s donor database. There are many reasons why it’s bad but for starters, here are some. Floridian homeowners are being squeezed by high homeowners’ insurance costs, the result of which come from bad policies enacted by Republicans over the last 25 years. Auto insurance rates are also on the rise in Florida but when you are the “flying elite,” you wouldn’t know that.  When lifelong Floridians are unable to continue living here, you can take comfort knowing that Wright is going to assist with the grift. With the upcoming legislative session about to start, you would be wise to see how the Republicans are going to reward their wealthy donors. Wright and the other Republicans are going to make sure the grift continues. Will you let them?
