It was 1894, one year after the last Barefoot Mailman walked along its sandy shores and two years before Henry Flagler built his famous railroad, that a former Civil War major from Port Huron, Michigan named Nathan S. Boynton first set eyes on the area that now bears his name. He was so impressed by the natural beauty of what he saw, the year-round sunshine and pristine beaches, that he returned a year later with a group of colonists and built the famous Boynton Beach Hotel to serve as his family's summer residence. The first settlers soon realized that an unlimited assortment of fruits and vegetables thrived in the fertile climate. Cultivated pineapples, tomatoes, mangos, oranges, lemons, grapefruits and limes were packed in crates and shipped by the ton on the newly built Florida East... 07/14/2007

The Florida Senate passed the most contentious part of a property tax-cutting package, a constitutional amendment that would require voter approval.   It was sent to the House, which is also expected to pass the state constitutional amendment.   The Republican-sponsored amendment, which GOP leaders say maysave taxpayers about eight  billion dollars over five years, then would go on the ballot for voters to approve.   It's not clear how much the average homeowner would save under the Senate's new version.   The amendment is half of a two-part tax relief and restructuring plan. Leaders of both chambers offered to cut local property taxes by about 30  billion dollars over the next five years. The Senate's revision, though, changes the overall savings to 24 billion.   It would allow homeown... 06/14/2007
