Of late, the Twitter account of Rep. Lake Ray. a Republican candidate in Florida’s 4th Congressional District, has been laden with veterans-friendly messages. Yet one since-deleted and revised Tweet from Saturday morning (which also shows up on his Facebook page) seems to have run afoul of a clearly-defined rule set forth by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Cemetery Administration.

On Wednesday evening, FloridaPolitics.com reviewed a replay of a Jacksonville City Council committee meeting from the previous week. Specifically, it was Recreation, Community Development, Public Health and Safety … a gathering that had been already covered in real time.
