CHARCO SIGNAGE CONTROVERSY-TRX VOTOPS OC

IT'S A BATTLE OVER THE FIRST AMENDMENT --

WHERE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND COUNTY LAW COLLIDE.OVER CAMPAIGN SIGNS.

NOW, CHARLOTTE COUNTY IS MAKING SOME LAST-MINUTE CHANGES.

CHARCO SIGNAGE CONTROVERSY-PKG

THE MID-COUNTY REGIONAL LIBRARY IS ONE OF THREE EARLY VOTING SITES IN CHARLOTTE COUNTY.

NATS

AND ACCORDING TO THOSE CAMPAIGNING LIKE RON GILLIS, IT'S A PRIME SPOT TO REACH VOTERS.

NATS

BUT, GILLIS -- WHO'S CAMPAIGNING FOR HIS WIFE -- SAYS HE AND OTHERS WERE TOLD THEY CAN'T DISPLAY THEIR SIGNS.

It really boils down to a first amendment right to freedom of speech.

COUNTY LAW SAYS SIGNS CAN'T BE IN THE GROUND ON COUNTY PROPERTY.

BUT CAMPAIGNERS *CAN HOLD THEM.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RAY SANDROCK SAYS IT BECAME A PROBLEM IN THE PRIMARY.

SO THEY TRIED TO BE MORE STRICT ABOUT THE RULES THIS TIME.

SOME CAMPAIGNING FOR WRITE-IN CANDIDATES.LIKE GILLIS. FELT IT WASN'T RIGHT.

AND NOW -- ONE WEEK AFTER THEY WERE TOLD "NO" -- THE COUNTY MADE TEMPORARY CHANGES FOR JUST THIS ELECTION.

Our attorneys got together, they made the decision that we should pull back, but we will turn right around next election at the very beginning of the primary to full blown communication on what our expectations are.

Obviously I'm happy that it's permitted to go on.

AND WITH THE ELECTION JUST DAYS AWAY.

THIS CHANGE GIVES CAMPAIGNERS LIKE GILLIS A FEW MORE CHANCES TO REACH VOTERS.

At least we have a few days to get somewhat of a message out there.

PICTURE PERFECT WEATHER THIS WEEKEND

It's shaping up to be an absolutely delightful weekend across Southwest Florida.

Sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, and low humidity will headline this first weekend of November, and there's a few more surprises coming down the road as we head into next week.

Sunday will be another beauty. Highs will again climb into the low to mid 80s, and we'll be treated to more blue skies and sunshine from start to finish. Humidity will be a few notches higher but will stay very comfortable. If you're heading out to chow down at Taste of the Town, the weather looks perfect.

The sunny weather carries over into next week until we hit a little speed bump on Tuesday as the next cold front slips into Southwest Florida. We'll notice more cloud cover along with the potential for some scattered showers during the afternoon and evening. While rain chances get a little boost, the chance of getting wet will only be around 30%, so this won't be a wash out-just a few hit-or-miss showers roaming around.

After the front passes, another batch of cool, dry air will come rushing into Southwest Florida starting Wednesday. There are signs this front may actually be the strongest one so far this season, and we'll feel the difference Wednesday. Temperatures should only warm into the middle 70s despite a nice supply of sunshine, and a noticeable chill returns to the air Wednesday night as temperatures cool into the low 50s with some 40s deeper inland.

Temperatures will then begin to moderate a bit Thursday and Friday as daytime highs approach 80 degrees.

Enjoy this beautiful stretch of weather from the weekend into next week, and remember.the clocks fall back an hour tonight!

NOTHING CAN STOP THE SMILES, THE LAUGHTER, AND JOY OF THIS DAY.

NOT EVEN A HURRICANE.

"We're so thankful for God's grace because that is ultimately how we got through this entire week."

AS A LITTLE GIRL, LAKISHA DREAMED OF A DISNEY WEDDING.

SANDY ALMOST RUINED THAT DREAM WHEN SHE LITERALLY WASHED RIGHT THROUGH THE COUPLE'S BROOKLYN HOME.

"Literally in about 20 minutes it went from our ankles almost to our waist, so at that point we knew we had to evacuate. And after that it just became survival mode."

SO THE TWO LEFT THEIR HOME.AND EVERYTHING IN IT.EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.LAKISHA'S BEAUTIFUL WHITE GOWN.

"Lakisha was like under no circumstances can this dress get wet."

DETERMINED NOT TO LET THEIR DREAM FALL THROUGH. THEY PLEADED WITH THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY TO GET THEM ON A FLIGHT TO ORLANDO.BUT ALL TRIPS OUT WERE CANCELED.

"So we pooled our resources together and we ended up chartering a bus. We got on the bus yesterday morning at 6:00 a.m. and we made it down here at 3:30 this morning."

AND WITH ALL 80 OF THEIR GUESTS, LAKISHA GOT HER DREAM WEDDING, EVEN COMPLETE WITH FIREWORKS!!

AND FOR JUST THIS DAY, THEY'RE FORGETTING ABOUT THE HEARTACHE.

"We are just so very thankful and very happy to be here right now, and I love you woman."
