Punk, this is a statewide issue. What's happening in Broward County is absolutely not indicative of what is going on statewide. Check the statewide numbers. Bed-tax revenues and hotel occupancy rates statewide, and especially in Orlando and Miami-Dade, have been smashing records for two years. Those little mom-and-pop beachsides in Broward have been dying since the local governments ran the spring-breakers off to Daytona and the Panhandle and the winter vacationers discovered Tampa Bay. That's a local issue, not a statewide one.

I'm sorry for raining on your parade. I would absolutely love to see it happen. I just don't think it will.
