Good morning, Tallahassee.

Jeremy Matlow’s political committee reported a $200,000 contribution from California-based Green Advocacy Project (GAP) less than a week before the Nov.

3 election, prompting questions about out-of-state influence on Tallahassee’s city-owned electric utility and potential effects on future utility policy.

Tallahassee State College president Dr. Jim Murdaugh released his leadership book Choose What You Want to Regret: Leadership That Matters on Oct.

31; the book, which appeared on a Times Square jumbotron this summer, offers practical advice for meetings, decisions, and team building.

If Florida State were to fire Mike Norvell after the Oct.

31 Clemson game, it would owe him about $47.1 million under his contract, which runs through Dec. 31, 2031 and allows the school to reduce payments if he signs elsewhere.

Florida State fell 36-24 to Clemson Saturday after a late rally came up short; QB Ashton Daniels threw for 350 yards with two TDs and three interceptions, and the Seminoles will host Boston College next week with kickoff scheduled (12 noon).

Florida State wrapped up fall ball on Oct.

29 at Dick Howser Stadium with the seven-inning Garnet & Gold All-Star game featuring pro alumni in the dugouts, and the Gold team won 9-4 after a home-run derby & a fireworks finale. FSU will open the regular season on Feb. 19 against South Carolina Upstate.

FSU fell to Clemson 36-24 and sits 3-5 as fans booed and left early, increasing pressure on coach Mike Norvell while the program risks missing a bowl and faces about a $51 million buyout.

The Seminoles will try to rebound on the road at Boston College on Nov. 7 + at Pittsburgh on Nov. 13.
