"

Richard Lewis, Sr. was an American sports commentator and engineer born on January 1, 1960, in Winter Haven, Florida.

Lewis held two distinct professional identities over the course of his life, working both as a sports commentator and as an engineer. These roles, while seemingly separate in discipline, together defined the range of his professional engagement. He was a citizen of the United States throughout his life, and his career spanned the latter decades of the twentieth century.

Lewis died on January 1, 2001. His work across the fields of sports commentary and engineering marked a career that moved between the technical and the public-facing, between precision and communication — two domains that, in their own ways, demand close attention to detail and clarity. His identity as both a commentator and an engineer remained the defining professional characteristic of his life.

He has done a great job of raising the level of all of those guys. They understand that they can do it, because they've seen Dan do it.

Go back two years. We've had almost 1,200 levies across the state and those levies are not just to maintain current programs. Many of those levies are made even knowing cuts are still coming.

One thing that they all do have in common, though, is the effect that the state has had on it this year. The most recent state ... budget, House Bill 66, had a lot of sweeping tax reform in it and this -- while well-intended, hoping to bring in more business into the state -- has had a disastrous effect on a lot of schools.
