ISSUE ONE: Interview with Broward School Superintendent James Notter
This week, the Broward School system made unfortunate headlines with stories such as former board member Beverly Gallagher pleading guilty to bribery, violence at one area school, and an audit of the school district's construction department.  Broward School Superintendent James Notter joins us to discuss these and other Broward education stories.

Guest:
James Notter, Broward County Public Schools

 

ISSUE TWO: Florida Legislative Review Panel
The Florida legislature is in session--the House is focusing on Medicaid while the Senate is tackling education.  Both are important goals, but how does the state fill a $3.2 billion dollar deficit?

Guests:
Sean Foreman, Ph.D., Barry University
Joy Reid, The Miami Herald

 

ISSUE THREE: Political Protests in Cuba
This week, the "Ladies in White," a group of women in Cuba consisting of wives, mothers and daughters of political prisoners, were beaten and detained as they marched in Havana.  Is this protest and consequent violence par for the course or can it be viewed as the beginning of an uprising?

Guest:
Andy Gomez, University of Miami
