NSBNEWS.net and VolusiaNews.net provide 24/7 online-media coverage for a 21st-century world

NSBNEWS.net endorses Republican Jeff Atwater for state chief financial Officer over Democrat Loranne Ausleyo in Tuesday's general elections.

The state's chief financial officer post is bureaucratic, but nonetheless political and important as the elected office holder is responsible for the proper accounting of public monies.

Elected as president of the Florida Senate in 2008, Republican Jeff Atwater of North Palm Beach is a banker. His Democratic opponent, a former state representative from Tallahassee, is not. That answers that question.

NSBNEWS.net is the only Volusia County-based media outlet to hand out endorsements for the general elections. The Orange County-based Orlando Sentinel has done so as well. Our endorsements resulted from collaboration and debate between NSB News LLC's publishers, Henry Frederick, a registered Democrat, and Peter Mallory, a registered Republican, for posting on NSBNEWS.net and our new countywide website VolusiaNews.net.
