GOOD EVENING, I'M PETER BUSCH.
AND I'M LINDSAY LOGUE.
THIS CONTROVERSY CENTERS AROUND THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF BLOCKING EMAILS TO HIS DEPUTIES EARLIER THIS WEEK.
THOSE EMAILS? SENT FROM HIS OPPONENT.
N-B-C-2 CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT CHAD OLIVER EXPLAINS.

I'm trying to get a message to the people."
LEE BUSHONG'S CAMPAIGN EMAILS USE WORDS LIKE
"SHAM".
"SLAP IN THE FACE."
A "DICTATORSHIP LIKE ATMOSHPHERE".
DESCRIPTIONS DIRECTED AT THE MAN WHOSE JOB HE WANTS.
"tonight the numbers tell me."
AFTER MIKE SCOTT'S PRIMARY WIN TUESDAY NIGHT. BUSHONG SENT AN E-MAIL BLAST TO HIS SUPPORTERS AND INCLUDED MEMBERS OF
THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
"Our of the 1,047 that I sent, zero had reached their intended recipients."
BUSHONG SAYS SCOTT IS BLOCKING L-C-S-O STAFF FROM RECEIVING THOSE MESSAGES ON THEIR WORK EMAILS.
It's their choice. We're free citizens. We're not controlled by big brother!
SHERIFF SCOTT SAYS IT'S NOT WHAT BUSHONG IS *SAYING. BUT WHAT'S HE'S *ASKING.
DONATIONS.
IN THIS STATEMENT SCOTT SAYS.
"LEE BUSHONG'S MOST RECENT SOLICITATION IS CONTRARY TO FLORIDA LAW. WE SIMPLY CAN'T ALLOW HIM TO CONTINUE HIS ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR."
The spirit of that statute says I cannot walk into a government building and say Chad, how you doing? can I have $500 please."
BUT WOULD THE COURTS SEE BLOCKED EMAILS AS A FREE SPEECH VIOLATION? THE PRESIDENT OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT CENTER DOESN'T THINK SO.
:00:02:45
Every work place every government agency in the country has filters.
They filter out adult oriented ads, they filter out solicitation.
A BATTLE BUSHONG PLANS TO FIGHT NOT IN THE COURTS - BUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
Whether he wants to stop emails coming in on his server, I'll pay $.49 per stamp.
Return to index of stories...
BUSHONG'S MESSAGES AREN'T GETTING BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE *NUMBER OF E-MAILS.
HE SAYS HE'S SENT FEWER THAN TEN IN THE THREE YEARS SINCE HE LEFT L-C-S-O.
SINCE THE COUNTY OWNS THOSE EMAIL ADDRESSES, SHERIFF SCOTT SAYS BUSHONG IS SOLICATING ON GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

SINCE 2001-
REGAL HAS HAD A POLICY THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT BAGS FOR PROHIBITED ITEMS.
THAT INCLUDES CANDY AND GUNS.
8:45 "no, never heard of it before."
BUT SINCE THE TRAGIC COLORADO SHOOTING LAST MONTH-

IT'S THE SAME STORY FOR BARBARA COTT.
they looked in this pocket.
REGAL, WHICH ALSO OWNS THE BELL TOWER THEATER, SAYS THEY WON'T COMMENT ON SECURITY MEASURES DUE TO SAFETY REASONS.
THEATERS LIKE AMC-
DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF POLICY AND DON'T PLAN ON IT.

brendan fonock/cape coral fire union
They seem to come out of nowhere.
-sirens
Sending drivers into a panic.
-division chief tom tomich/ccfd-"a 4,000 lbs sedan is no match for a 45,000 lbs fire truck."
Fire fighters frantic to get to a scene, rely on lights and sirens to signal for a driver to get over.
- lights ans sirens.
But sometimes its just impossible to move.
-alex boyer-"I'm sure most of us can relate to pulling up to a red light like this one when lights and sirens pull up behind us. Problem is there's nowhere to go. New technology will move things along."
The system is called "opti-com."
-mechanie-"this is the GPS unit."
That g-p-s unit would be installed on 22 cape coral fire trucks and send a wireless signal to a device that turns the light at an intersection - green.
-tomich-"the main objective is to prevent crashes."
The south trail fire district has been using opti-com since 2006 and chief bill lombardo swears by its success.
-chief bill lombardo/south trail fire district-"we have not had an accident at any of the intersections that were protected by opti-com."
The cape coral fire department hopes to install opti-com at 49 busy intersections throughout the city.
-brendan fonock/cape coral fire union-"this is definitely taking advantage of the 21st century and technology."
The start-up cost for the system is just under $533,000.
The cost to cape coral tax is $107,000. A federal grant would pay for the difference."
The benefit to cape coral residents and fire fighters - priceless.
-fonock-"its going to help with response times. Seconds count a lot of the time."

INITIALLY FPL WAS ASKING FOR A $690-MILLION DOLLAR RATE HIKE.
THAT'S NOW BEEN CUT DOWN TO $379-MILLION.
Return to index of stories...
WILLIE MILLER / FPL Customer / SOT IN: 04:53 I just think that's to big of a rate increase right now especially with the economy the way it is right now. 05:01
THAT SEEMS TO BE HOW ALOT OF PEOPLE FEEL WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING MORE FOR POWER.
ESPECIALLY AFTER WE TOLD THEM FPL REPORTED EARNINGS OF $422 MILLION IN THIS YEARS FIRST QUARTER.
reaction to earnings
IF THE RATE HIKE IS APPROVED IT MEANS ABOUT A $1.21 A MONTH MORE IN YOUR BILL.
MONEY THAT WILL GO TO PAY FOR THIS STATE OF THE ART POWER PLANT.
nats about the plant
SITTING IN CAPE CANAVERAL THE PLANT WILL COST 1.1 BILLION TO BUILD.
FPL OFFERED US A TOUR SO WE COULD SEE FIRSTHAND WHERE THE MONEY'S GOING.
WHILE THERE, WE ASKED WHY FPL DOESN'T USE SOME OF IT'S PROFITS TO PAY FOR THE PLANT RATHER THAN ASK CUSTOMERS TO DO IT?
Neil Nissan/Florida Power and Light /// SOT IN: 02:48 The process under the public service commission is for us to gain approval for these projects, we have to show that these project will have a benefit to customers once they're approved and up until now customers have not been paying for this power plant. FPL has been paying for it and customers only pay for the power plant once they begin benefiting. 02:57
AND THAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT SUMMER WHEN THE PLANT IS FINISHED.
NEIL NISSAN WITH FP&L SAYS CUSTOMERS WILL BENEFIT BECAUSE THE PLANT USES A LOT LESS FUEL TO RUN.
Neil/ fpl /// SOT IN: 03:08 This power plant alone will save our customers about $1-billion in fuel savings due to its fuel efficiency, so over time it will effectively pay for itself. 03:17
BUT THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME AND SOME FEEL ELIMINATING FUEL POWERED PLANTS ALTOGETHER WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER SAVINGS…
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR SOME F-P-L CUSTOMERS.
SOT IN: 01:57 Why aren't we using solar energy to generate electricity? that's ridiculous.We grow sunshine down here. I'm just saying! 02:06
