Driver licenses lost in first gubernatorial debate

MIRAMAR, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Charlie Crist got to sidestep the driver’s license question during Florida’s first 2014 gubernatorial debate.

The issue is one of interest to many who will watch the Spanish-language Telemundo 51’s broadcast Friday evening in the state’s Hispanic markets of Miami, Orlando and Tampa. But the candidates were only asked about a bill Scott vetoed to provide drivers’ licenses to the youth brought to the U.S. as children now living here illegally.
