HE REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY APPROACH THAT "ISN'T BALANCED."

HE SAYS LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH PARTIES--

FISCAL CLIFF-SOT, ON CAM

i've said it before, we just can't cut our way to prosperity. We're serious about reducing the deficit. We have to blend spending cuts with revenue. And that means asking the wealthy americans to pay a little more in taxes.

THE PRESIDENT IS INVITING CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES TO THE WHITE HOUSE NEXT WEEK.

Nats beaches

THERE'S NO DEBATING IT -- SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S WEATHER AND WATER BRING PEOPLE TO LEE COUNTY.

the diamond is the beaches, first and foremost, why people come here so we need to promote that we need to protect that we need to enhance that

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NINE MEMBER- TOURISM DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL TO DEBATE HOW TO ENHANCE THE COUNTY'S ATTRACTIONS.

being a beach community with the largest beach we probably would have more insight to the things that beaches can bring and how more tourists can come

SANIBEL MAYOR KEVIN RUANE SUPPORTS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BOARD'S MAKE-UP, THAT WOULD GIVE HIS CITY, THE BIGGEST GENERATOR OF BED TAXES, A PERMANENT SEAT AT THE TABLE.

I don't believe it's going to hurt us

CAPE CORAL COUNCILMAN LENNY NESTA VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE, EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS HIS CITY, WITH THE HIGHEST POPULATION COUNTY-WIDE, WOULD SHARE A SEAT WITH THREE OTHER COMMUNITIES-- ROTATING EVERY 2 YEARS.

I don't think that way it will hurt us in any of the monies we get from the TDC board

RUANE SAYS THE CHANGE WOULD GIVE BEACH LEADERS MORE SAY--

WITH MILLIONS OF PROJECTED BED TAXES EARNINGS ALREADY COMMITTED TO SPRING TRAINING BASEBALL

SANIBEL POWER GRAB-PLASMA MON

BECAUSE THE T-D-C FALLS UNDER STATE LAW, THE LEGISLATURE MUST FIRST PASS AN AMENDMENT TO MAKE THE CHANGES.

BAD ALLERGIES-ON CAM

IF YOU THOUGHT 2012 WAS A BAD YEAR FOR ALLERGIES--

YOU'RE RIGHT.

DOCTORS SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST ON RECORD!

AND EXPERTS SAY IT WILL GET A LOT WORSE IN THE FUTURE.

BAD ALLERGIES-PKG

ALLERGISTS HAVE LOOKED INTO THE FUTURE -- AND SEE A LOT MORE OF THIS.

"My nose has been really stuffy."

"With each year I continue to see a rise in allergies and an increase in allergy patients."

NEW RESEARCH PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF ALLERGY, ASTHMA AND IMMUNOLOGY FINDS SEASONAL ALLERGIES WILL GET WORSE AS POLLEN COUNTS DOUBLE OVER THE COMING DECADES.

THE REASON IS CLIMATE CHANGE. ALLERGISTS SAY IT'S NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT.

"As we see a rise in green house gases, like carbon dioxide, this fuels the growth for pollinating plants, so it leads to increase in allergies."

IN THE YEAR 2000 -- POLLEN PRODUCTION BEGAN IN APRIL AND PEAKED IN MAY. ALLERGISTS PREDICT THAT BY THE YEAR 2040 -- THAT PEAK WILL COME A MONTH EARLIER.

THAT MEANS THE SUFFERING MAY BEGIN EARLIER EACH SPRING. AND POSSIBLY LAST LONGER.

SO -- WHAT CAN WE DO, OTHER THAN START A STOCKPILE OF KLEENEX?

"He's going to start him on a daily inhaler."

IN ADDITION TO SEEING AN ALLERGY SPECIALIST. YOU CAN SHOWER BEFORE BED, CLEAN YOUR GLASSES, KEEP YOUR WINDOWS CLOSED. AND WASH PETS THAT CAN DRAG ALLERGENS IN FROM OUTSIDE.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

NICE WEEKEND AHEAD

High pressure will control the weekend weather and it's looking nice for southwest Florida. The high pressure area is centered well north of Florida and the wind circulation around the high will bring a breeze from the northeast tomorrow. Wind speeds will average about 15 mph with a few gusts to 20 mph during the afternoon. Wake up weather on Saturday will be mostly sunny and temperatures will be in the mid 50's. Afternoon highs top out at 80 - 83 both Saturday and Sunday. By the end of the weekend, Sunday, we will probably notice a bit more of the easterly wind and that may push over a few more clouds from the east coast. There could be some light showers on radar by Sunday afternoon … but most of them will not last the trip across the state to our side of Florida.

Looking at the extended forecast, there will be another cold front moving toward the area on Monday evening. The computer guidance is not very impressed with potential rain showers for us as the front goes by. It's possible we will track an isolated shower late Monday or Tuesday but it probably won't be much.

VANDERBILT RENOURISHMENT-VO

ONE OF COLLIER COUNTY'S MOST POPULAR BEACHES IS GETTING A MAKEOVER.

Tim Doyle/Baltimore/21:43:25 "I think it's work that needs to be done."

IT'S A $675,000 EMERGENCY PROJECT--WITH MONEY COMING FROM TOURIST TAX DOLLARS.

A RELIEF FOR RESIDENTS WHO'VE WATCHED THEIR BEACH SHRINK OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

Lyn Shirley/Naples/21:40:45 "I think it was especially noticeable this year when we arrived in October."

Bob Sayer/Naples/21:45:10 "It's a little tinier then it was before, give it another half of dozen years and the beach will probably be gone."

WORK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IS A SHORT-TERM FIX.

THE FULL 17.5 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT WILL PICK BACK UP NEXT YEAR--EXPANDING THE BEACH 100 FEET.

Gary Mcalpin/Coastal Zone Manager/21:55:33 "We've had a lot of erosion over the past year and our next beach renourishment project is not planned until September of 2013."

MANY ARE QUESTIONING THE TIMING THOUGH-WITH SEASONAL RESIDENTS ALREADY ARRIVING.

Lyn Shirley/21:41:45 "Many are coming down now and it might be a problem."

Bob Sayer/21:45:53 "I question the same thing, why now, they could have done it a little earlier."

COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON A POPULAR BEACH--NO TIMING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT.

GUN SALES UP-2 SHOT

IT HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO.AND IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.

GUN STORE OWNERS SAY AMMO, ASSAULT RIFLES, AND HANDGUNS ARE FLYING OFF THE SHELVES.

DEMAND FOR GUNS IS UP SINCE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RE-ELECTION -- MANY FEAR A SECOND TERM WILL BRING TIGHTER GUN REGULATIONS.

GUN SALES UP-PKG

FOR THE FIRST TIME -

"stare at your front sight"

DENNIS AND DEBRA EASTERDAY LEARN TO SHOOT TODAY AT FOWLER FIREARMS.

MARRIED FOR 36 YEARS - THE COUPLE HAD PLEDGED NEVER TO TOUCH A GUN.

"we said we'd never do that. We didn't think there was a need for that."

BUT A 4-30 A-M BREAK-IN TWO WEEKS AGO STARTLED THE PAIR.

"we were defenseless"

AND WHEN TUESDAY'S ELECTION RESULTS CAME IN -- THEY DECIDED NOW WAS THE TIME TO TAKE UP ARMS.

THEY FEAR TIGHTER GUN LAWS -

"That, and our whole Constitution changing. I feel like we're losing a lot of rights, and it scares us. We better do it now before, you know, something comes in and we won't have the chance to defend ourselves."

"It's just the general, you know, idea that this is his last term and generally in the last terms, they will touch your firearms"

JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE 2008 ELECTION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA, JON DEZENDORF SAYS SALES HAVE BEEN UP NOTICEABLY.

"As far as precaution is concerned, if people like guns, and you need to get some more ammunition, you might as well get it now"

AT TACTICAL WEAPONS IN FORT MYERS - THEY SAY GUN SALES ARE UP 40 PERCENT IN THE LAST WEEK.

"Now there's people coming in that are not even gun guys or women and they're buying them just to put them away because if they ban them, they're going to go up. It's going to be like gold."

RICK WHEELER SAYS PRICES ARE UP 15 TO 20 PERCENT ALSO -

"Right now some people don't even care about the price. As long as you have it, they'll buy it."

BUT ARE THE FEARS JUSTIFIED?

WITH REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, TIGHT RESTRICTIONS COULD BE HARD TO IMPLEMENT.

AS FOR DEBRA AND DENNIS - THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN IS IGNITING A NEW PASTIME.

"Hey, this might be golf - like golf, but something else,huh?"

ONE THEY HOPE THEY NEVER HAVE TO USE FOR REAL.
