TALLAHASSEE — The daughter of Wal-Mart's founder wrote a check for $836,000 in May to a group working to pass two questions on the November ballot to expand school vouchers in Florida.

Alice Walton's donation was the largest single check among nearly $12-million raised in Florida in the past three months by interest groups and individual candidates for state offices. That number does not include millions more raised by both major political parties in Florida, which don't have to report their latest fundraising until Aug. 22, just four days before the primary election.

Among the most interesting reports: The group pushing to place a gay marriage ban in the state Constitution has raised just one dollar to every four raised by its opponents. More here.
