Fuente cigar labels are displayed on stained glass windows.
Fuente family photos adorn wall space throughout the four-story, 8,000-square-foot building.

Should Florida s citizens have the right to know where the state legislators they elect live?
Of course you should be able to know where your legislators live. For one thing, citizens need to be able to verify legislators home addresses to know whether they actually live in the districts they represent.
But this is Florida, where it s easy to find stinkers among the proposed bills our state representatives toss out there for consideration.
Often, the worst proposed bills attempt to limit the public s right to know. They hack away at Florida s Sunshine Law as if it were some kind of nuisance plant that requires eradication.
