Florida wins demolition derby

Florida and 63 of its cities and counties get the lion's share among the states of the latest $1 billion in neighborhood stabilization program funding from the feds — $208.4 million.

But auto union-dominated Detroit comes out the biggest overall winner (or is it loser?) getting $21.9 million.

Miami-Dade comes in a close third with $20.04 million, just behind Nevada's Clark County, home to Las Vegas, with $20.25 million. That should make U.S. Senate candidate and Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, R-Nevada — both in the midst of election campaigns — happy.
