More clouds than sun today, maybe a shower late. Temps are in the 70's. Warmer tomorrow with rain in spots. Friday looks to be the day that we turn really warm, followed by late day storms. Cooler for the weekend.
Today's interview lineup:
At 6:53 hear Jamie Dupree update new polling in Michigan and Arizona ahead of tonight's debate.
At 7:11 hear Fox's Emily Wither update breaking news of an American journalist killed in Syria.
At 8:23 hear Jamie Dupree explain why tonight's GOP debate could prove to be a game changer.
Our Top Local Story is a WOKV tax watch follow-up. Taxpayers are on the hook for millions of dollars at the Gateway Mall over the last few decades. Now that the foreclosure process is underway, there are emerging questions about the return on that investment. We've discovered the landlord has not paid property taxes the last two years, totaling just under $600,000. He claims to be in touch with someone who may buy the property but isn't giving any details.
You Decide 2012: High stakes in tonight's GOP debate on CNN, the last before Super Tuesday. Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are neck and neck in Michigan and now Arizona. Jamie Dupree says tonight could be a game changer in the race.
The latest AP poll shows President Obama topping 50 percent in head to head matchups with each of the four Republican candidates.
The Obama administration is taking the wraps off a corporate tax reform plan. Currently, the top corporate tax bracket is 35% -- that's among the highest in the world. The President is proposing lowering that top tax rate to 28% and to seek an even lower effective rate for manufacturers.
Breaking news while you were sleeping. An American journalist was one of two killed in Syria. Marie Colvin was a foreign correspondent for Britain's Sunday Times for two decades. She was from New York.
A second day of anti-American demonstrations in Kabul after troops inadvertantly burn several Qurans. The U.S. Embassy says it's on lockdown and all travel is suspended.
Breaking news from the southside, where a person was shot several times at the Logan Apartments on St. Johns Bluff. The victim is at Shands with life threatening injuries. No arrests that we've been told of.
Five people are dead in what looks like a murder-suicide north of Atlanta. Cops say the shooter randomly fired as he walked through the 24 hour-a-day spa last night.
Seems we hear more and more about meth labs popping up around the area. Just last week Clay County Detective David White was killed by suspect in a meth house. In St. Augustine, cops just busted what they believe was an emerging meth house. They found evidence of a meth lab in a pickup truck and inside the home. So far cops have not announced any arrests.
A fourth DUI lands a 62-year-old St. Augustine woman in prison for five years. That's the sentence handed down to Denise Boman. In her most recent DUI back in June, she handed deputies a phony driver's license before speeding off and crashing into a telephone pole.
No charges will be filed in the hazing incident involving members of the Fernandina Beach High School wrestling team. The state attorney's office determining that action taken by the Nassau County School District to discipline five students and fire the team's head coach and assistant coach was sufficient action.
From the WOKV Money Watch, the Dow crosses 13,000 for the first time since the financial meltdown.
Teachers in Duval County are already teaching about the history of the 9-11 terror attacks -- and now two representatives in Palm Beach County want it to be mandatory statewide. They say they're proposing it because teachers focusing on American history in chronological order don't always reach recent history before the end of the year.
