    The Clerk of the Courts assesses filing fees based on the amount the Plaintiff is suing for. The…read moreClerk of the Courts does not include court filing fees, cost of summons, process service fees or attorney fees in determining the amount to be assessed. The cost for filing a suit under $500.00 is $80.00. The cost for filing a suit over $500.00 is $174.00. I filed a small claims case with the Leon County Clerk of the Courts. Paragraph 11 in the complaint states "Defendant owes Plaintiffs $407.60 ($707.60 less $300.00 security deposit not returned), plus $75.00 collection fees and $150.00 small claims court related costs." The paragraph further states "The costs are shown below as follows ..." and shows 8 lines of detail listing my claim and including 3 lines showing court related costs, which are not to be considered in calculating the cost of the filing fee. The total of our claim, upon which a filing fee would be assessed, was $482.60. After filing our case, the Leon County Clerk of the Court sent a letter assessing an additional $94.00 claiming the case was over $500.00, which it was not. I contacted the Leon County Clerk of Court on several occasions attempting to discuss the incorrect assessment. Basically, I was told this is how we see it, you owe the additional $94.00. I sent a letter to the Clerk requesting an explanation such as laws, rules of court, etc., as to how in their opinion I should have properly presented the amount that I was claiming in the complaint which I filed. Additionally, I included a number of suggestions that would help non-attorney individuals have easier access to the Leon County Clerk of Court and the court system based on my experience. Access for the non-attorney individual is a major component of the small claims process. Judges typically work with individuals differently than they would attorneys, as the small claims court is more of a "people's court" for individuals to present their claim. I received a very short response thanking me for the suggestions, but absolutely no mention of the $94.00 that the Leon County Clerk had demanded I pay. I think it is fair to say they have chosen not to discuss it because there probably aren't any laws, rules of court, or other legal areas that say how the claimed amount should be presented in a case. I paid the $94.00, under protest, rather than be sent to collections; however, the Leon County Clerk of the Court still has not reimbursed me $94.00 for their over assessment of the amount of the claim for calculating the filing fee. The case has been resolved; and it is a matter of court record that the case was settled for less than $500.00, thereby reinforcing my claim that this case was not over $500.00. In summary, I believe I was ripped off by the Leon County Clerk of Courts; thus, I am publishing this complaint in the hope that other individuals will be provided better consideration rather than having their complaint aired on the web or elsewhere.

    10/09/24: Prayers to Florida as Hurricane Milton approaches…read more The third most populous state and the only state that borders the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. It is the second state with a tropical climate besides Hawaii. The first known European to land on Florida was Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513. The oldest continually inhabited city is Saint Augustine, one of my favorite cities! It's a popular tourist destination because of the weather, theme parks, and the beaches. The population is continuing to boom and it has become very congested, especially in the Miami metro area which consists of Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. I lived in Broward/Palm Beach County for almost 9 years and loved the diversity, ambiance, and amenities there. The cruise ports and airports are located in a convenient area. They have top rated Universities. There are many activities and places to explore; it's a popular place for people to retire and be snowbirds. If I have the means, I would love to be a snow bird; nothing beats Florida winters! With the good, there are the bad. The congestion and traffic in the major cities are horrendous; there are so many condos and apartments being built in every corner. The hurricanes are scary; I've lived through a few of them and it was not fun. The alligators are dangerous and they do bite; the bugs are rampant. The public schools are not rated well, where I lived. The summers are oppressive; you will be stuck inside all day in the AC, which is not fun when you're an outdoorsy person. Overall, I enjoyed living there but I missed the seasons. Since having kids, I prefer to raise them where I'm from, New England. Florida will always hold a dear spot in my heart though; I loved the life I created there. I look forward to visiting again soon, this time as a tourist.

After living in Florida off and on for about 40 years I finally came home to New York. I don't even care to go visit these days. I do miss my friends and relatives though. Florida does have great Parks, Sports and recreational activities of all kinds. The most beautiful golf courses in the United States as far as I'm concerned. Beautiful beaches, boating and lots of fishing. Like I said I'm conflicted. I'm going with Four Stars.

The memorial consists of a 28 feet tall, 15 feet wide American flag that is suspended between twin tall granite towers. The towers have the names of Florida's Vietnam solders that were KIA or MIA, engraved in them. The memorial also includes a small marble pedestal designating the memorial, with an inscription that reads: "Florida's Vietnam Memorial in honor of the 386,000 Floridians who served during the Vietnam Conflict. 1964-1975 among whom 1,669 succumbed and 83 are missing in action. Their names are engraved on this memorial as a token of everlasting gratitude to these patriots for their supreme sacrifice". That marker is very weather and is very difficult to read as you can see in the pictures,You will find a few benches to sit on in the memorial's plaza and it is normal to see flowers placed on the memorial. In front of the memorial is a smaller metal memorial that represents the POW/MIA braclet. It has an accompanying granite pillar that has an engraving that explains the significance of the bracelet. Parking here is kind of tough. There is metered parking and commercial garages/lots within a reasonable walking distance. I like this memorial it is simple, but effective, while paying the proper respects to the city's Vietnam Veterans. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 10 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. The State House is right across the street and there of tons of memorials and parks to check out in the immediate area.

It was dedicated in 2001 and has a life like bronze statue of an elderly veteran man with a cane and small American flag in his hand. The sculpture is the work of local artist, W Stanley "Sandy" Proctor. The man in the sculpture appears to be in his military uniform and is sitting on a bench. The bench has the inscription "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his country". The backdrop of the memorial is three flag poles waving the Leon County flag, the American Flag, and the Florida State flag, respectively.
