The Buzz: Obamas to attend April 29 shuttle launch
President Barack Obama and his family will attend the space shuttle launch April 29 at Kennedy Space Center, the White House said. Obama is already scheduled to be in the state to deliver a commencement address at Miami-Dade College. The two-fer gives Obama added exposure in a state key to his re-election. The launch of Endeavour is NASA's next-to-last shuttle flight. The mission will be led by Mark Kelly, husband of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who may attend as well, her first public appearance since being shot in January.

Panel dislikes red-light cameras
A House budget panel voted Wednesday to keep alive an effort to outlaw red-light traffic cameras. The Legislature passed a law last year regulating the cameras. But Rep. Richard Corcoran, R-Trinity, cited a slew of examples from cities and states across the country where he said the cameras were not preventing accidents. "This isn't exactly what we thought it was," Corcoran said.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. Courts have thrown out many red-light camera tickets, he added, saying the problems with implementing last year's bill are "overwhelming." After about an hour and a half of discussion, the committee sided with Corcoran — even though law enforcement and other advocates cautioned that getting rid of the cameras would put drivers' lives in danger and cost Florida municipalities $71 million in revenue from camera tickets. "Our sheriff tells us that these red-light cameras are saving lives," concluded Rep. Rich Glorioso, R-Plant City. A House staff analysis on HB 4087 estimated repealing the red lights would cost the state $86 million next year and local municipalities more than $71 million. The bill now heads to the House floor. Its companion in the Senate, SB 672, has stalled.
