EARLY SUNDAY EVENING DREW EMMANS FINDS AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR AT HIS AVE MARIA HOME.
nats video
THIS IS WHAT HE AND HIS FIVE CHILDREN WATCHED OUTSIDE HIS WINDOW.
9:42 it was kind of fun at first and then it got a little creepy and he was way too comfortable:51
GETTING NOT ONLY COMFORTABLE AT HIS HOME --
02:29 bear came up here like this and stood up against the window standing with paws up and then would get down 2:34
BUT AT THE BUCCHERI HOME TOO.
54:42 ultimately ended up at our window with children screaming inside
ROSEANNE BUCCHERI SAYS SHE HAD WATCHED THE BEAR ROAM AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HOURS RUMMAGING THROUGH GARBAGE, WANDERING INTO GARAGES AND EVEN CHASING PEOPLE.
SHE'S SEEN A HANDFUL IN THE THREE YEARS SHE'S LIVED ON MILANO STREET.
57:19 its very scary to have the bear out with the kids this bear was out during the day 57:24
AT ONE POINT EMMANS WATCHED IT CHASE A WOMAN INSIDE OF HER CAR --
:22 had jump in her car then the bear jumped on her car it was wild:28
WHICH SOON TURNED INTO A WILD CHASE WITH FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE OFFICERS.
8:10:07 it was quite dramatic the bear charged at him:11 charged the guy for 50 yards or do and then he had to put him down
We certainly don't want to have to take this kind of action. But it was as a lay resort in order to prevent injury to the officer and god forbid to somebody else.
AND THE COMMUNITY IS TAKING ACTION TOO -
TRAPS HAVE BEEN SET ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND TRASH COLLECTION HAS BEEN CHANGED.
ALTHOUGH ULTIMATELY LIVING NEAR THE EVERGLADES IT'S A VISITOR THEY HAVE COME TO EXPECT.
8:00:32 we have to expect it. there are plenty of them out there:47

TODAY WAS A SIGNIFICANT DAY FOR DRIVERS IN OUR STATE.
IT COULD MARK THE MOMENT THAT WE SAVED MORE MONEY ON CAR INSURANCE.THANKS TO REFORMS IN PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION RATES.
STARTING TODAY.INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE TO SUBMIT PLANS TO SAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS ANYWHERE FROM 10-25 PERCENT ON THE PIP RATES.WHICH TYPICALLY COVER MEDICAL BILLS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.
THE STATE IS GIVING INSURANCE COMPANIES UNTIL THE END OF NEXT YEAR TO PUT EVERYTHING IN WRITING.SO DRIVERS MAY NOT SEE THE SAVINGS IMMEDIATELY.BUT IN THE MEANTIME.THEIR RATE WILL, AT THE VERY LEAST.STAY THE SAME.
Return to index of stories...
they're not going to approve any increases, so the good thing for insurants is.no increases
EXPERTS SAY PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION RATES HAD BEEN RISING BY AN AVERAGE OF 18 PERCENT PER YEAR.THE STATE PASSED THE NEW LAW MOSTLY TO CUT DOWN ON CASES OF FRAUD, WHERE PEOPLE WOULD STAGE CAR ACCIDENTS TO CASH IN ON THE PIP INSURANCE.

32:44 farmers wont know what crops to plant or what to expect with this coming season 32:54
WE REACHED OUT TO LOCAL REPRESENATIVES.CONGRESSMAN DAVID RIVERA RESPONDED SAYING.
"The passage of a farm bill is vital to our nation's agriculture industry. However, approving the right kind of legislation.for a fiscally responsible farm bill…is more important."
WHILE CONGRESS WAITS TO DECIDE.
ONE PRICE SPIKE COULD HIT CONSUMERS HARD.
SENATORS SAY IF THE FARM BILL ISN'T RENEWED *MILK PRICES WILL DOUBLE.
THE NATIONAL MILK PRODUCERS FEDERATION SAYS.IT COULD SOON RISE ABOVE 6 DOLLARS.
22:49 if a single mom has to pay out a lot more for milk they're either going to get less nutrition or shes not going to be able to afford other commodities 22:58
FOOD BANKS ARE BOTH-- RELIEVED AND WORRIED BY THE LACK OF INDECISION IN WASHINGTON.
NO VOTE MEANS NO CUTS TO FOOD STAMP PROGRAMS--BUT IT COULD MEAN TOUGH INCREASES FOR THE EVERYDAY SHOPPER.
