Letters to the Editor: Lawsuit against Pinellas schools is without merit
Re: Judge expands school lawsuit, July 2.

Editorial: Investigating the Tarpon police
The Tarpon Springs Police Department has been the target of various investigations and pronouncements by outside authorities, from a 1987 grand jury finding that the department should be disbanded, to a U.S. Department of Justice inquiry last year into the death of a drug suspect, to investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The Justice Department inquiry and past FDLE investigations were closed when investigators did not find enough evidence to pursue cases against the department or its officers.

Editorial: NRA-style enforcement
Under a new law, Florida's police officers are prohibited from keeping records of firearm ownership. That's not as easy as it sounds.
