"She only gets a million in the prenuptial agreement, so they've exhausted her to the end. And she's not smart enough to see it. So she's walking out of here empty-handed when the determination is. So the fight for the kids, it's not about the kids, it's about money."

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.

BRIEF COOL DOWN TOMORROW

Just like we anticipated Tuesday was sunny, dry, and warmer. That explains our week ahead pretty well, but there will be a couple speed bumps along the way.

The main speed bump will be felt by early Wednesday, as a few light showers will be possible as our next cool front slides through Southwest Florida around 7:30 AM.

The timing of the rain will be close to sunrise Wednesday, but the showers should be gone by the mid-morning hours, leaving us with sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Once the front clears the area, temperatures will stay fairly cool through the day as winds become more northerly behind the front; most areas should only reach the low 70s for daytime highs.

By Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll have another round of temperatures in the mid 40s across the urban corridor and even some mid to upper 30s deeper inland.

Thursday will be another cool day with highs only reaching the low 70s under full sunshine, and then we'll spend another night in the 40s and 50s as we head into your Friday morning.

Mayor Ben Nelson, Bonita Springs" we want to make sure what the will of the people is, what the local mentality is about that."

BONITA SPRINGS LEADERS ARE IN TALLAHASSEE TO LOBBY FOR SLOT MACHINES AT THE NAPLES FORT MYERS GREYHOUND TRACK.

BUT NOW THEY'RE PUSHING FOR A 2 YEAR TEST RUN INSTEAD OF PERMANENT STATUS.

BONITA SLOTS BUS TRIP-TFX CTR MON

THE SENATE AND HOUSE GAMING COMMITTEES MET BEFORE SESSION STARTED TODAY,

AND SAID IT'S UNLIKELY THAT LEGISLATORS WILL HAVE TIME TO CONSIDER A SPECIAL EXEMPTION FOR LEE COUNTY THIS SESSION.

SO BONITA LEADERS ARE HEADING UP TO THE STATE CAPITOL,

ASKING FOR A 2 YEAR TRIAL PERIOD TO GET IT SLOTS APPROVED ASAP.

BONITA SLOTS BUS TRIP-PKG

From the greyhound track-

Nat

To the poker room.

Nat

Gambling is nothing new at the Naples fort Myers greyhound track.

Sot mayor Ben Nelson, Bonita springs

This particular establishment has been here for years and years and years, and it's not like slots machines don't exist-they do, there's slot machines everywhere."

But not here.

63 percent of lee county residents voted in favor of adding slot machines to the track in November.

But the state still needs to give the okay.

So Bonita leaders are heading to the state capital.

Nat

Alright, are we going?!"

They're proposing a 2 year test run on slot machines,

instead of permanent status in hope of getting approval *this session.

Sot Ben

" we're trying to find the right angle, the right formula, the right mixture to make that happen."

The trial- would give the state time to look at this type of gambling.

Sot Christine Ross, Bonita chamber president

"They'll be able to see it in action, and make a better decision based on live data."

An attorney for the Seminole tribe of Florida says not so fast.

Sot Barry Richard, attorney for Seminole tribe of fl

" the state can authorize anybody to engage in any gaming they want to, but they have to give up the tribal payments."

Right now- those payments are a minimum of 1 billion dollars over 5 years.

Sot Barry

The tribe is not trying to make things difficult for theses park mutuals, they agreed to give additional type sot gaming to the pari mutuals, like card games, historic reaching games."

Thats why he says the dog track and poker room are ok,

But slot machines are not.

The agreement gives the tribe " partial but substantial exclusivity,"

Which Bonita springs leaders say can be interpreted differently.

This bus load- hoping legislators see it their way.

Sot Ben

BONITA SLOTS BUS TRIP-TFX CTR MON

IF SLOT MACHINES ARE APPROVED BY STATE LEADERS, LEE COUNTY WOULD GET 1.5 PERCENT OF ANNUAL SLOT REVENUE AFTER WINNERS ARE PAID.

THAT COULD BE A MINIMUM OF 1 MILLION PER YEAR.

MAYOR JOHN SULLIVAN TELLS US -- HE'S AGAINST LEVELING A SPECIAL OR CITY-WIDE ASSESSMENT TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OR REMOVAL COSTS.

ON THE LOW END -- THE BILL WOULD BE HALF MILLION.

ON THE HIGH END -- CLOSE TO 15 MILLION BUCKS.

47:15 "we just can't squeeze the trigger and make it go away. We need to have facts, data, and make our case. Prove we're not hurting the environment."

ANIMAL HOARDING-PKG

PROTECTING ANIMALS IN COLLIER COUNTY.

IT'S THE COMMON MESSAGE THAT BROUGHT THE ANIMAL CONTROL ADVISORY BOARD AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TOGETHER ON TUESDAY - DISCUSSING POTENTIAL CHANGES TO COLLIER'S ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE.

Amanda Townsend, Director, Collier County Domestic Animal Services/2:17:25 "Many of them we have a consensus on and would really help move our enforcement side of things forward."

THESE TALKS ALL STEM FROM A CASE OF BREEDER NEGLECT BACK IN 2011 - WHERE GOLDEN GATE ESTATES RESIDENT ARTHUR PERKINS SURRENDERED 45 DOGS TO DOMESTIC ANIMAL SERVICES BECAUSE OF CRUELTY.

TODAY'S TOPICS RANGED FROM THE PERMITTING OF KENNELS AND PET SHOPS - TO OUTLINING SEVERAL COUNTY DEFINITIONS.

Amanda Townsend/2:17:35 "Making sure we have definitions of commercial and no commercial breeders and that we can add those to our permitting process and routine inspections."

Dan Martin/21:21:38 "Cruelty and torture is decided by state law, the neglect is where the grey area is but we're going to work on that."

ANOTHER QUESTION IS WHAT TO DO WITH FIRST TIME OFFENDERS WHO BREAK THE LAW?

THE COUNTY'S VERSION OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW SOME CITED PET OWNERS TO TAKE A PET OWNERSHIP CLASS.

BUT OTHERS BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE HANDED A CITATION ON THE SPOT.

Dan Martin/21:22:05 "Either it's going to be a law and obeyed or it's not. Why bother writing it if you're not going to enforce it?"

WHILE THE WORKSHOP LASTED NEARLY THREE HOURS - BOTH SIDES SAY IT PROVIDED A MUCH NEEDED SENSE OF "CLOSURE" - BRINGING THE COUNTY ONE STEP CLOSER TO TIGHTENING THE RULES FOR THOSE WORKING WITH ANIMALS.

Dan Martin/21:21:22 "I'm going to count this as a win, I think there's going to be a good ordinance to come out of this.
