Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 5, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Uncategorized.

By KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats pressured Republicans on the increasingly menacing debt ceiling impasse Thursday, focusing on what they say will be painful reductions in government services if a bill the GOP recently pushed through the House becomes law. Republicans responded that they know the legal limit on government borrowing must be raised to avert a possible default. But they’re insisting it be coupled with cuts in what they consider bloated federal spending. No one expects that the House bill, which would increase the nation’s borrowing authority...

A controversial land swap that would enable the development of 1,000 luxury homes in Palm Beach County’s Agricultural Reserve received initial support from the Board of Commissioners Wednesday night. The 5-2 vote was a major victory for GL Homes, one of the leading residential developers in Palm Beach County.

The approval now goes to the state for review and will come back to the commission Aug. 30 for final adoption. “We are pleased the Palm Beach County Commission saw merit...

Heat fight the good fight in injury absence of Butler, fall 111-105 to Knicks

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 3, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

NEW YORK – It was the leading men against the replacements. Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and R.J. Barrett were in place for the New York Knicks. Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo were out for the Miami Heat. No, not optimal, the Heat ailing and the Knicks healing as the teams headed into Tuesday night’s Game 2 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series. Still, even with the Knicks moving to a 111-105 victory at Madison Square Garden and a 1-1 series tie, it was a game that showed what the Heat have in support of Butler, who well could be back from his sprained right...

Janette Mayo, whose daughter and three teenage grandchildren were among the dead, said the controlling...

Winderman’s view: It could have been Adebayo’s night; instead, a Heat loss

NEW YORK — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 111-105 NBA playoff loss to the New York Knicks: – It could have been a Bam Adebayo game for the Heat. – And perhaps, in his own way, it was. – The issue with Adebayo, at least with this roster, hasn’t been about such an immediate ascension. – The leading man is in place, even if absent Tuesday night. – So even with Jimmy Butler out, coach Erik Spoelstra stressed perspective, at least when it came to Tuesday’s expectations. – “They don’t change dramatically,” Spoelstra said of Adebayo. “He doesn’t need to score 50 for us...
